Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US Secretary of Health and Human Services, has been accused of sending sexually explicit texts to journalist Olivia Nuzzi during an alleged affair last year. The messages were revealed by Ryan Lizza, Nuzzi's former fiancé, in a Substack post.
In one alleged poem, titled 'American Canyon' by Lizza, Kennedy wrote: 'Yr open mouth awaiting my harvest' and 'I mean to squeeze your cheeks to force open your mouth.' He also said: 'I am a river. You are my canyon. I mean to flow through you.'
Lizza claimed there were 'many more messages too explicit to print' that changed his relationship with Nuzzi. He did not explain how he obtained the messages. The alleged affair began after Nuzzi interviewed Kennedy for New York Magazine, according to Lizza.
New York Magazine placed Nuzzi on leave early last month. Kennedy has denied having a sexual or romantic relationship with Nuzzi. He is married to actress Cheryl Hines, who defended him in a recent interview, saying: 'There's extremes on both sides to Bobby.'
