New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi was reportedly “obsessed” with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. following an interview she conducted with him in California. She pursued him via text to the point where he had to repeatedly block her, a source close to Kennedy’s team told The Post.
The source said, “She went after him aggressively. 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.” Nuzzi’s camp denied allegations that the situation was a “Fatal Attraction” type of scenario or that she instigated the relationship. They acknowledged the digital fling was tumultuous, but suggested both parties may have stopped texting each other at times.
The two allegedly began “sexting” sometime after Nuzzi, 31, met with the 70-year-old Kennedy family scion for a November feature piece on the then-White House hopeful, sources had previously said. Their relationship was strictly digital and allegedly included risqué pics from the Washington correspondent.
Kennedy, who is married to “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress Cheryl Hines, is no stranger to romantic entanglements, once keeping a list of up to 43 rumored mistresses in his cellphone. Nuzzi was placed on leave Thursday after New York magazine editors became aware of the inappropriate relationship between her and Kennedy.
