Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s brags to friends that star reporter Olivia Nuzzi had sent him intimate photos was what led the scandal to explode into the open, the Daily Beast can reveal. The 70-year-old scion’s boasts became known to the 31-year-old New York magazine correspondent’s boss—who confronted her over the photos.

Nuzzi repeatedly denied an affair to David Haskell, New York’s editor in chief, but eventually came clean. Nuzzi has now been suspended, and is being investigated over her journalistic ethics by an outside party.

Puck News reported Friday night that Nuzzi allegedly sent “demure” nudes of herself to RFK Jr. during their “sexting” affair.

Are the brain worms communicable?

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

An odd dude he is.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 25 points 5 hours ago

RFK Jr's wife, the wife from curb your enthusiasm, sucks as well. She's stayed on through all his insane bullshit. Will be especially telling if this is what gets her to finally leave or speak against him

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 21 points 5 hours ago

Learning that she's married to him was a shock. She must be batshit.

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Ngl I was shocked too. It’s just a reminder that an actor’s job is acting

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

Exactly. You don't know who any actor is just because you've watched them in productions.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 23 points 6 hours ago

We need a countdown since the last crazy ass RFK scandal

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Part of me will miss the crazy that he brings, but I felt that way about trump in 2016 until he actually somehow won

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 hours ago

Just keep it at 0 honestly

[-] AtomicHotSauce@lemmy.world 54 points 8 hours ago

A shitty republican politician getting caught doing things he shouldn't? Say it ain't so.

[-] afk_strats@lemmy.world 32 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Nooo. RFK is an anti-establishment old hat little "d" Democrat like JFK!!! He's a Kennedy! Don't look at the .ml in my username instance! \s

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago

Apparently his “d” was big enough for Nuzzi. ba dum tiss 🥁

The 70-year-old scion

If that's how you're getting described in your old age you've really done fuck-all of worth in your life.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 18 points 8 hours ago

I bet Cheryl is already starting divorce proceedings, if the Trump bullshit wasn't already the kicker.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 43 points 8 hours ago

She's married to a Kennedy. She is not expecting fidelity.

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 19 points 8 hours ago

She might be expecting discretion though. He’s also hurting her career.

[-] Lenny@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

what career? Curb is over

[-] psvrh@lemmy.ca 16 points 7 hours ago

Discretion? From the whale carcass anti-vax guy?

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

She did that when she married him

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 7 hours ago
[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Didn't realize they were married. Glad she basically disappeared from Curb.

[-] Fester@lemm.ee 6 points 8 hours ago

It’s all I can think of whenever someone mentions their marriage

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago

Remember they are just friends. /s
