Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a complex man of many shades and contradictions – a man who simultaneously says he cares deeply about the environment but who also enjoys working for Donald Trump (a well-known fossil fuel lover). He’s a guy who likes to present himself as a friendly everyman, who apparently loves storing roadkill in his freezer and decapitating whales on the beach. He is also a man who has been married for a long time, but recently, according to a book by a disgraced journalist, he engaged in a secret affair, during which he exposed his innermost being.
Yes, by now you’ve definitely heard the drama surrounding ex Olivia Nuzzi new york The magazine’s politics reporter and Kennedy, who is alleged to have had a chaste affair when Nuzzi was covering his political campaign last year. Nuzzi has managed to turn what – for most other journalists – would have been the death knell of a disgraceful career into a book deal. his new dance, American CantoPartly it’s about her relationship with Kennedy. Although it hasn’t been revealed yet (it’s coming next month), it has recently been previewed by select publications. The book appears to reveal confessions made by Kennedy in private, including that he admitted to using brain-impairing drugs and also claimed that the dead worm in his brain was not actually a worm.
The drug claims come from The New York Times, which recently profiled Nuzzi as well as his book. In the profile, Nuzzi claims that while they were in contact, Kennedy admitted to doing DMT, a psychedelic drug that can cause intense auditory and visual hallucinations. Paper Note:
She writes that despite being “sober” for decades, Kennedy told her he still used psychedelics, and even consumed dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, a powerful drug that can cause near-death experiences when consumed by people. She told him she “liked uppers. I told her I took Adderall.”
The DMT claim is somewhat reasonable and perhaps not too surprising to Kennedy, given his interest in frontier health treatments. At the same time, it also makes political sense to some extent. Strange as it may seem, calls to legalize psychedelics have been coming from the political right in recent years. Conservatives want to be weird by legalizing mind-numbing drugs, and RFK was seen as a natural candidate to carry on that mission. This summer, it was reported that Kennedy was “increasing government-run clinical studies” on psychedelics.
“These are people who desperately need some kind of therapy; nothing else is working for them,” Kennedy said at a House hearing in June. “The benefits are tremendous if the treatment is given in a clinical setting. And we’re working very hard to make sure that happens within 12 months.”
at some other point American canto, a part of which was recently published Vanity Fair (Nuzzi is now editor there), Kennedy is alleged to have told him that he actually had no worms in his mind. The worm in question was originally reported by the New York Times last year. Journalists learned that, in 2010, a parasite had eaten away part of RFK’s gray matter and subsequently died. However, according to Nuzzi’s book, Kennedy told him this was not the case. The excerpt, which has created a stir all over the internet, is as follows:
I didn’t like to think about it, just as I wouldn’t like to think later about the bug in his brain that seemed so funny to other people. I liked his mind very much. I hated the idea of having an intruder in it. Others thought he was a madman; He wasn’t quite as crazy as they thought, but I liked his personal way of being crazy. I loved that he was insatiable in every way, like he would swallow the world whole just to get to know it better if he could. He made me laugh, but I also laughed when he joked about bugs. “Baby, don’t worry,” he said. “It is not an insect.” A doctor he trusted, he said, reviewed scans of his brain obtained by The New York Times and concluded that the shadowy figure was probably not a parasite at all. He sighed. It was too late to interfere with what had already moved from the realm of meme to the realm of intriguing legend, but at least I didn’t have to worry about a worm that wasn’t a worm in his brain.
So, yes, wow. Truly, some poetic words for insects. Nuzzi has stated that she and Kennedy never had a physical relationship, and that the relationship was only over the phone and the Internet (this has been called a “sexting affair”). Meanwhile, Kennedy has denied any relationship with her. Kennedy’s wife, Cheryl Hines, reportedly spoke out about Nuzzi’s claims that the two were in love and that Kennedy wanted her to have his baby, telling sources that Nuzzi was a “fucking liar”.
In the past few days, Nuzzi has also been accused of having an affair with another interview subject, Mark Sanford, a South Carolina politician. The claim comes from her ex-fiancé/former Politico reporter Ryan Lizza, who wrote about it for his independent outlet Telos. Gizmodo contacted HHS for comment.
