"Wil Wheaton Condemns Larry David's Attack on Elmo"
Cheryl Hines defended Larry David for beating up Elmo, stating that the show's producers should have known better than to put them together. She emphasized that Elmo didn't ask for the altercation and pinned the blame on the showrunners. While Cheryl took the incident in good fun, others in the television industry, such as Wil Wheaton, reacted negatively. Larry David has not responded to the criticism, and Cheryl seems to have his back despite the ongoing puppet-related controversy.
