Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s brags to friends that star reporter Olivia Nuzzi had sent him intimate photos was what led the scandal to explode into the open, the Daily Beast can reveal. The 70-year-old scion’s boasts became known to the 31-year-old New York magazine correspondent’s boss—who confronted her over the photos.

Nuzzi repeatedly denied an affair to David Haskell, New York’s editor in chief, but eventually came clean. Nuzzi has now been suspended, and is being investigated over her journalistic ethics by an outside party.

Puck News reported Friday night that Nuzzi allegedly sent “demure” nudes of herself to RFK Jr. during their “sexting” affair.

      Well he is a Kennedy.

      The only reason they still make normal-people headlines is because one of them made president and then got his brains tipped out into the back of a car.

      Without that, they’d undoubtedly just still be lurking richly in the background, pulling the odd string like some sort of underground eldritch abomination.
