Robert F Kennedy Jr denied allegations of sexting with New York Magazine’s Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi who has been suspended for the “affair.” A spokesman for Kennedy’s office said Kennedy met Olivia Nuzzi only once for an interview she requested, which resulted in a hit piece.
Nuzzi, 31, did not mention Kennedy Jr. by name but acknowledged that some communication between her and a former reporter became personal earlier this year. She explained that the relationship was not physical and was limited to chats. “At the time, I did not report on the subject directly, nor did I use them as a source. The relationship was never physical, but should have been made public to avoid the appearance of a conflict. I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I let down, particularly my colleagues in New York,” Nuzzi said.
Although Nuzzi did not mention Kennedy by name, Status confirmed that the 70-year-old Kennedy is now part of Donald Trump’s team after he suspended his own independent presidential campaign.
What Nuzzi wrote about Kennedy
In November 2023, Nuzzi wrote a profile of Kennedy Jr. when he was running for president. Nuzzi said the election would be a three-way race, with Trump, Biden and Kennedy vying for the top post. She said the establishment press was reluctant to treat Kennedy as a serious contender because Kennedy was an anti-vaxxer.

31-year-old trending on X
Following Olivia Nuzzi’s revelation, the 31-year-old began trending on X as social media users noted that both Nuzzi and Laura Loomer are 31 years old. Laura Loomner was accused of having an affair with Donald Trump, which she denied. “Between Olivia Nuzzi and Laura Loomer, it was a huge week for 31-year-old women you’d swear were older,” one post read.

Kennedy investigated for collecting dead whales
News of the sexting scandal hit Kennedy hard when he confirmed that he was being investigated for bringing home a dead whale 20 years ago. Kennedy’s daughter said in a 2012 interview that when she was 6, her father brought home a dead whale — he was such a lover of dead animals. He cut off the whale’s head and tied it to the roof of their minivan for the five-hour drive home. The interview resurfaced recently after Kennedy joined Donald Trump’s team.
