Robert stopped short of calling Justin Timberlake's wife an anti-vaxxer, but he did reveal that she was "upset about this issue because of its particular cruelty," in a call with The Daily Beast.

He continued, "The biggest problem with the bill, which is something I think Jessica is concerned with, is that a doctor who has made a determination — if he has found children in this state whose doctors have determined that they’re too fragile to receive vaccinations — this bill would overrule the doctors and force them to be vaccinated anyways."
