Nuzzi, who has been suspended from New York Magazine amid the gossip, recently admitted to his involvement with Kennedy while covering his campaign, raising serious questions about journalistic ethics and conflicts of interest.

“He was on the road a lot this year, so maybe it was different and the relationship was tested,” a source told the NY Post, speculating about the current situation and referring to the recently suspended presidential campaign.

“I can’t imagine she’s going to take this. She has a backbone,” the insider added, noting that the Curb Your Enthusiasm actress isn’t going to let this go without a fight, even though she’s yet to comment publicly. “She’s not a little housewife at home. She’s successful and financially independent in her own right.”

While the Kennedy camp has vehemently denied any rumors of an affair between the two, Nuzzi acknowledged in her statement to NY Magazine editors that she got too personal with her reporter earlier this year. While she did not name the person, she clarified that she had not used him as a source for her work.

Cheryl Hines remains ‘quiet’ on Kennedy affair

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who recently suspended his presidential bid and withdrew from key battleground states to ultimately side with Donald Trump, is currently under fire after news broke on Thursday of his alleged sexting relationship with 31-year-old New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi.

When approached by the media about the former presidential candidate’s “personal relationship” with Nuzzi, a spokesperson for Cheryl Hines said Friday they had “no comment at this time.”

Another source close to Cheryl Hines and RFK Jr. believes their relationship will not survive this controversy, saying, “I will be shocked if Cheryl stays.” In their statement to the Post, they noted, “(Kennedy) has always been known as a flirt and more, even Cheryl knows that. But it seemed like he was at least publicly faithful (so far). It’s not good for Cheryl in Hollywood.”

While she denied any physical involvement, the New York Magazine reporter acknowledged her personal connection to someone she covered earlier this year. She admitted that she should have disclosed the relationship to avoid any appearance of conflict and expressed regret for not having done so sooner.

“At that time, I did not report on the individual directly or use them as a source. While the relationship was never physical, it should have been made public to avoid the appearance of a conflict,” she said in a statement to editors that was previously reported by the Staus. “The nature of some of the communications between me and a former reporter became personal,” Nuzzi admitted.

The magazine apologized and stated that while no evidence of inaccuracy was found in her work, they are now conducting a third-party investigation into the matter. They also apologized to their readers for the breach of trust.

Sources told The Post that the journalist and the politician began sexting when he was still married to Hines and she was engaged to fellow reporter Ryan Lizza. Nuzzi and Lizza have reportedly since broken up.
