RFK Jr’s Cheating Blows Up in His Face as He Threatens to Sue ‘Obsessed’ Reporter Over His ‘Sexting’ Affair With Her
Yikes. This is who Trump wants in his Cabinet.
We’ve known for some time that Robert F. Kennedy Junior, the nephew of JFK and son of Bobby Kennedy, was a little off his rocker. We’ve seen the stories about him cutting off a whale’s head and strapping it to his car, and about him dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park.
The weird thing is, most of the stuff that RFK Jr. has been accused of, he hasn’t bothered denying.
He even copped to keeping a diary of all the women he cheated on his ex-wife with, including 43 mistresses he kept contacts for in his cell phone under the letter G, for “goomah” — mafia slang for a woman you’re cheating with.
But the latest scandal is one that he does NOT want to face, because at 70 years old, this man does not want his wife to divorce him. What his current wife, actress Cheryl Hines, thinks about all this isn’t known yet.
But let’s find out what you think.

A reporter for New York Magazine, 31-year-old Olivia Nuzzi, got suspended from the publication on Thursday after she revealed that she had failed to disclose an inappropriate relationship with Kennedy while she was covering the 2024 presidential race.
Nuzzi wasn’t covering Kennedy specifically, but she was covering the campaign in general as the magazine’s Washington correspondent.
You may have already forgotten, but Kennedy was running in 2024, first as a Democrat and then as an Independent, before finally dropping out and endorsing Donald Trump.
A statement from the editors at the magazine said:
“Recently our Washington Correspondent Olivia Nuzzi acknowledged to the magazine’s editors that she had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign, a violation of the magazine’s standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures. Had the magazine been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign. An internal review of her published work has found no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias. She is currently on leave from the magazine, and the magazine is conducting a more thorough third-party review. We regret this violation of our readers’ trust.”
However, Nuzzi hasn’t claimed that she slept with Kennedy, only that they exchanged racy messages through text, including nude photographs of herself.
“I did not directly report on the subject nor use them as a source. The relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict,” she said in her confession. I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I’ve disappointed, especially my colleagues at New York.”
Now Kennedy has hired the chief of security to Jeff Bezos, Gavin de Becker, to fix his problem.
De Becker consults for not just Bezos, but a litany of the world’s famous elites. He characterized the entire affair as an “obsession” on Nuzzi’s part, and Kennedy himself denies it ever happened.
Maybe they need to sit down and have a conversation soon, because de Becker says “This had nothing to do with romance. He was being chased by porn,” an indicator that something definitely did happen.
In fact, maybe Bobby Junior needs to have a sit-down with his entire inner circle, because one source close to him — in an effort to defend Kennedy — said Nuzzi “bombarded him with increasingly pornographic photos and videos that he found difficult to resist.”
“Difficult to resist,” however, sounds an awful lot like Junior sure didn’t mind seeing naked pictures of the very pretty reporter. The same source told reporters that “She went after him aggressively. She targeted him pretty hard. Bobby was blocking her continually. It was a little scary. She was obsessed with him. I think she still is.”
It’s funny, because I’ve never needed to “block” anyone more than once, and I’ve definitely never had a hard time just ignoring a message that’s unwanted.
But Nuzzi’s camp says that it’s way off base to claim she started things.
Her rep says that “It’s absolutely untrue that she was the aggressor But 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.”
In fact, Nuzzi herself has not even characterized it as something as serious as to merit a security expert to help Kennedy out. Again, she hasn’t claimed that they ever met physically. A friend of Nuzzi’s told the media “Olivia’s point of view is that to call this a relationship or affair is completely inaccurate. It was at most a flirtation.”
Remember how we said we didn’t know yet how Cheryl Hines felt about all of this? Well, we might. She was seen in Italy without her wedding ring on Friday. And Nuzzi split from her fiancée Ryan Lizza shortly before all of this became public.
That last part’s probably for the best. That’s far too many Z’s between their names. for a stable relationship. It’s like a band with too many guys named “Chad” in it. It never would’ve worked.
Especially if she was sexting with a man more than twice her age who’s very publicly a nutcase.
