Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claims celebrity journalist Olivia Nuzzi was “obsessed” with him and plans to file a civil lawsuit against him. New York Magazine journalist, sources close to the scion report.

Allies of the former independent presidential candidate say that after interviewing the then-White House candidate in California for an article, Nuzzi “aggressively” pursued him.

“She targeted him pretty hard. Bobby was constantly blocking her. It was a little scary,” a source said. THE The New York Post“She was obsessed with him. I think she still is.”

According to Jessica Read Kraus, an “independent” journalist and self-proclaimed friend of Kennedy, the self-proclaimed “Make America Healthy Again” candidate first cut ties with Nuzzi after she allegedly made a flirtatious remark two weeks after her November 2023 article about him was published in new York.

“A few weeks later, Nuzzi emailed her asking to be unblocked, claiming she had urgent information about a story being prepared against him,” Kraus alleged in a Substack newsletter sent to his nearly 400,000 subscribers. “He unblocked her for that conversation, but later that night she sent him a provocative photo, prompting him to block her again.”

Kraus said that for eight months, Kennedy blocked Nuzzi, except when she allegedly contacted him from different email addresses and phone numbers, “insisting” that they discuss an “imminent assassination plot.”

“Once unblocked, she bombarded him with increasingly pornographic photos and videos that he found difficult to resist,” she continued.
