RFK Jr. Shared โฃExplicit Poetry with Reporter During Alleged Affair, Correspondent โClaims
A newly โคpublished account details explicit poems allegedly sent by Robert F.Kennedy Jr. to New York magazine โreporter Olivia Nuzzi during a period of alleged romantic โคengagement. โthe poems,โ described by formerโ New Yorker correspondent Ryan Lizza as “to explicitโฃ to print,” โฃsurfaced as Lizza began sharingโค his own account of discovering the affair, adding another layer to a story that previously involved accusations of Kennedy’sโค attemptsโ to conceal the relationship. The โunfolding narrative raises questionsโฃ about Kennedy’s โjudgment as a public figure and the dynamics of power and reporting within the media landscape, notably as he continues โhis autonomous bid for the presidency.
Lizza, who was terminated from The New Yorker inโฃ 2017 following allegations of โsexual misconduct, alleges heโ learnedโ of the relationship through a โseriesโค of text messages and communications. He began โฃdetailing his perspective in a multi-part series published this week on Telos. According to โLizza, the poetic exchanges were part of a broader pattern of dialog between Kennedy and Nuzzi. Neither Nuzzi norโ Kennedy haveโ yet responded to requests for comment regarding the poem itself.
Kennedy, who publicly stated last year that he had never โmet Nuzzi in person โฃoutside of โher professional โwork on a profile piece, remains marriedโ to comedian Cheryl Hines.โฃ The timeline and โคnature of the โalleged affair, and the subsequentโฃ fallout, continue to develop as Lizza releases further installments of his account.
