New York magazine writer Olivia Nuzzi allegedly sent RFK Jr. ‘demure’ nudes during ‘sexting’ affair: report
New York magazine political reporter Olivia Nuzzi allegedly sent “demure” nudes of herself to former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during their scandalous “sexting” affair, according to a report.
Nuzzi and Kennedy’s relationship was strictly digital, but allegedly included risqué pics from the 31-year-old Washington correspondent, Puck News reported late Friday, citing a source.
The pair allegedly began “sexting” sometime after Nuzzi met with the 70-year-old Kennedy scion for a feature piece on the then-White House hopeful that was published in November, sources had previously told The Post.
The star reporter was placed on leave Thursday after New York mag editors became aware of the inappropriate relationship.
Kennedy’s team had said that he and Nuzzi only met in person “once” for the November piece — however, Puck News reported Friday that there were multiple meet-ups.
The Post has reached out to Nuzzi for comment on the allegations she sent nudes.
In a separate Friday night statement, a spokesperson for Kennedy called the latest revelation “unreservedly and unconditionally false” before again claiming the former presidential candidate and Nuzzi met just once.
After the bombshell news of their emotional fling broke Thursday night, New York mag said Nuzzi “had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign” — a violation of the publication’s standards.
Sources told The Post that the top brass at the magazine were already aware of the relationship and confronted Nuzzi, despite reports that she had come clean to editors.
Nuzzi maintained the relationship was “never physical” and that Kennedy had never been used as a source.
“The relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict. I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I’ve disappointed, especially my colleagues at New York,” she said in a statement, without naming Kennedy.
Nuzzi and Kennedy — the son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy — were allegedly sexting while she was engaged and he was married.
Sources told The Post the explicit messages were first exchanged sometime around the new year.
The duo “weren’t being particularly careful” about keeping their relationship under wraps, another source told The Post Friday.
“There’s a reason New York mag found out,” the source explained.
Kennedy has been married for over a decade to “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actor Cheryl Hines, his third wife.
Nuzzi was engaged to fellow political reporter Ryan Lizza in September 2022, however the two have called the marriage off.
Lizza confirmed they had split in a statement in Politico on Friday, in which he referred to Nuzzi as his “ex-fiancée.”
