History of scandal

Kennedy, who married Hines in 2014, has a long history of infidelity, which has reportedly concerned many of her friends from the start. His reputation as a womanizer has followed him for years, especially during his marriages to Emily Ruth Black and Mary Richardson. In the 2015 biography RFK Jr.: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream, author Jerry Oppenheimer detailed the skepticism surrounding the couple's relationship.

Friends of Hines were allegedly baffled by her decision to marry Kennedy, given his notorious track record with women. Some believed that she might have been "purposefully ignorant" of his past behavior.

Allegations of an affair with Olivia Nuzzi

The recent scandal involving Olivia Nuzzi, a political reporter, has added fuel to the fire. Nuzzi itted that her communications with a former reporting subject, assumed to be Kennedy, had turned personal, although she insists the relationship was never physical. The pair allegedly began sexting in early 2024, while Kennedy was still married to Hines. Nuzzi herself was reportedly engaged at the time, but has since ended her relationship.

The scandal reportedly started after Nuzzi traveled to Kennedy'sCalifornia home to write a profile on him for New York magazine in November 2023. While the initial interactions were professional, their communications reportedly turned more intimate after the profile was published.

Kennedy's representatives deny the allegations, stating that he only met Nuzzi once for the interview.

Kennedy's response and fallout

Despite the denials, the allegations have caused significant fallout. New York magazine, where Nuzzi worked, has issued a public apology and placed Nuzzi on leave while conducting an internal review. They expressed regret for the violation of readers' trust.

As the scandal continues to unfold, all eyes remain on Cheryl Hines, who has yet to address the controversy surrounding her husband.
