RFK Jr and wife had a soiree at their Hollywood mansion during COVID and required proof of COVID vaccination with RSVP

The underlying event appears to be a holiday party held at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And Cheryl Hines’s California home in December 2021. Several reports, including People, The Daily Beast, Daily Mail, and Yahoo’s republication of Politico reporting, say the invitation encouraged guests to be vaccinated or tested before attending.

However, the wording in the claim materially overstates the evidence:

• The available reports generally describe an invitation asking guests to get vaccinated or take a COVID test, not a requirement that attendees provide proof of vaccination.
• The New York Daily News reported Kennedy’s denial that vaccination was mandatory. Other reporting said guests could use a negative test instead.
• RadarOnline reported Kennedy said vaccination and testing status were not checked at the entrance, though this is a lower-reliability account and should not be treated as independently conclusive.
• The sources identify the location as Kennedy’s California home; the supplied evidence does not verify the more specific description “Hollywood mansion.”
• The event occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, apparently in December 2021, but most supplied search-result excerpts do not provide full publication dates or the original invitation itself.

Thus, the defensible version is that guests were reportedly encouraged or instructed in invitations to be vaccinated or test negative before attending a holiday party at Kennedy’s California residence. The stronger claim that proof of vaccination was required for RSVP or entry is not supported and is contradicted by Kennedy’s denial and reports describing a testing alternative.
