Amid reports that Robert F Kennedy Jr bragged to his close friends about intimate photos of 31-year-old Olivia Nuzzi, now it is being claimed that Kennedy Jr may sue Nuzzi for "bombarding" him with nudes. New York Post reported that Kennedy Jr used to block her number but was tricked into unblocking. Security expert Gavin de Becker who has been hired by Kennedy Jr to probe the incident said this had nothing to do with romance.
"He (Kennedy Jr) was being chased by porn".
Olivia Nuzzi, a star journalist of New York Magazine, was placed on leave after she admitted that a personal relationship developed between her and a former subject of her reporting. She did not mention Kennedy Jr's name but as the name was confirmed in many reports. As Kennedy reportedly bragged about Nuzzi's nudes, the gossip went to Nuzzi's boss and when Nuzzi was confronted by her boss, she initially denied. Then she admitted that there was a text-based relationship, they did not get physical.
Kennedy Jr denied the allegations and his spokesperson said he met Nuzzi only once last year for an interview.
Jessica Read Kraus, who knows both Nuzzi and Kennedy Jr, said Nuzzi tricked Kennedy Jr into receiving her "racy messages" after he first blocked her number over a flirtatious remark she made just two weeks after she wrote the profile on RFK Jr.
In her substack titled '
The Talented Ms Nuzzi', Jessica wrote that after she was blocked, she sent an email to Kennedy asking him to unblock her as she had an urgent information about a hit piece being prepared against him. She again started sending provocative picture following which she got blocked again.
“Once unblocked, she bombarded him with increasingly pornographic photos and videos that he found difficult to resist. After brief exchanges, he would block her again,” Kraus alleged.
'I’m not saying she was inviting me to sleep with her'For her blog, Jessica contacted another subject of Olivia Nuzzi's previous reporting who confirmed that Nuzzi was flirtatious. “I’m not saying she was inviting me to sleep with her, but working with Olivia is very different from any other journalist, male or female. There’s a fine line between sexual seduction and informational seduction — and she crosses it. All the time," the person said.
Kennedy Jr's wife Cheryl Hines was reportedly seething after the controversy erupted but has not yet issued a statement. She was seen without her wedding ring in Milan, according to reports.
