Friends of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are rallying to his defense, claiming that star political journalist Olivia Nuzzi ‘set him up’ by persistently sending risqué photos even after her number had been blocked. The unexpected scandal has ignited a media frenzy, with Kennedy’s allies alleging that Nuzzi, the New York Magazine writer, aggressively pursued him, while Nuzzi’s camp denies these allegations, calling the situation far more complicated. One source claimed, “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.” ...
Jessica Read Kraus, a journalist and friend of Kennedy, further fueled the fire and remarked, “A few weeks later, Nuzzi emailed him, asking to be unblocked, claiming she had urgent information about a hit piece being prepared against him. He unblocked her for that conversation, but later that night, she sent him a provocative picture, prompting him to block her again. Once unblocked, she bombarded him with increasingly pornographic photos and videos that he found difficult to resist.” Krauss also revealed that Kennedy intends to file a civil lawsuit against the journalist for what he and his allies saw as deliberate entrapment.
