After RFK Jr‘s camp peddled the narrative that Olivia Nuzzi tricked Kennedy Jr in more than one way, a new report claims that Kennedy Jr grabbed Olivia Nuzzi’s hand while she was interviewing him last year for a profile for the New York magazine. Everything started from that interview and Olivia Nuzzi has been put on a leave by her organization after she acknowledged that she developed a personal relationship with a former subject of her reportage.The relationship was not sexual, Nuzzi clarified; but it involved nudes, reports claimed.
Multiple sources revealed to Vanity Fair that Nuzzi and Kennedy went on a hike during the interview in November, last year. Kennedy was an Independent presidential candidate then. He allegedly grabbed Nuzzi’s hand. Nuzzi told this to a colleague who too claimed to have a “creepy” encounter with Kennedy Jr before.
This narrative came in counter of the one that Kennedy Jr is setting in place that Nuzzi was the aggressor and she used to send him nudes. On being blocked, she used to mail him pleading to unblock her as she pretended to have some news about a hit piece being planned on Kennedy. Kennedy is considering a lawsuit against Nuzzi, reports said, for “bombarding” him with nude photos. Kennedy has hired security expert Gavin de Becker to investigate the issue with a potential civil of criminal lawsuit forthcoming, reports said. “This had nothing to do with romance,” de Becker said. “He was being chased by porn.”
“Both parties were aware of how high-pressure and high-risk the circumstances were and for that reason, their communication was very on and off,” New York Post reported citing a source.
Kennedy’s wife Cheryl Hines did not make any public comment on the reports of her 70-year-old husband’s affair with a 31-year-old. But in private, she was reported to be seething.
