RFK Jr. allegedly had 43 ‘mistresses’ on his cell phone, sources familiar with the matter say

The more we learn, the more questions we have, because seriously, what is going on with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., better known as RFK Jr., and this cheating scandal? As many know by now, it was alleged that RFK Jr. cheated on his wife of ten years, Cheryl Hines, with political journalist Olivia Nuzzi, and since then, even more disturbing details about RFK Jr.’s cheating past have come to light.

In fact, according to the New York Post, RFK Jr. allegedly had more than 40 “mistresses” on his phone, including his current wife, Hines.

In 2014, a story that was resurfaced by the same outlet, he allegedly had the contact information of dozens of women in an alphabetical list. Additionally, the names were apparently all under the letter “G,” which his second wife, the late Mary Kathleen Richardson, said stood for “goomar,” an Italian slang word for “mistress.”

So this resurfaced report got us thinking: Did he cheat on his other wives? Before Hines, RFK Jr. was married to Emily Black from 1982 to 1994 and to Richardson from 1994 until his death in 2012. And there is plenty of evidence that he cheated on both of them.

Let us explain: In RFK Jr.: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream By author Jerry Oppenheimer, several sources close to RFK Jr. revealed that his cheating put a strain on his marriage to Black.

And what about Richardson? Vanity Fair revealed in July 2024 that Kennedy was known for sending explicit nude images to other women and having multiple affairs.

Not only that, but before Richardson’s suicide, she asked her sisters to release his diary to the media, which detailed at least 37 affairs he had during his marriage to her, according to New York Mag.

But why are RFJ Jr’s infidelities back in the spotlight? It has been rumored that Kennedy had an affair with political journalist Nuzzi.

This was revealed earlier this week with New York MagazineThe magazine’s official “note to our readers.” The statement reads: “Recently, our Washington correspondent, Olivia Nuzzi, acknowledged to the magazine’s editors that she had a personal relationship with a former subject connected to the 2024 campaign while covering the campaign, a violation of the magazine’s standards on conflicts of interest and disclosures. Had the magazine been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign.” Nuzzi is “currently on leave from the magazine, and the magazine is conducting a further review by a third party.”

Nuzzi later clarified what happened, saying it “was never physical,” but their emotional affair began in December 2023, just after her November profile on the then-presidential candidate was published, according to The Washington Post.

“I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I disappointed, especially my colleagues in New York,” Nuzzi said in a statement to CNN.

How did RFK Jr. react? Well, his representatives said so. The Washington Post“Mr. Kennedy met Olivia Nuzzi only once in his life, for an interview she requested, which resulted in a scandal-ridden article.”

Many more details are still being revealed, and everyone is wondering what is going on.
