Olivia Nuzzi Says She Fell for ‘the Wrong Person’ as She Addresses RFK Jr. Allegations

In a new podcast interview, the journalist rejects claims she buried stories for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying she does not accept his vaccine rhetoric.

Overview

  • Speaking on The Adam Friedland Show, Olivia Nuzzi acknowledged she “fell in love” with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling it the wrong person and wrong circumstances.
  • Pressed on timing, she said her feelings developed after she wrote a profile of Kennedy, not before.
  • She stated she does not buy Kennedy’s vaccine claims and called parts of his rhetoric dangerous, while crediting his environmental and food-policy advocacy.
  • She denied acting as a political operative or killing negative stories for Kennedy and said many allegations about her are untrue.
  • Kennedy has denied a romantic relationship, and Nuzzi’s interview coincides with the release of her memoir, American Canto, this month.
