At least three women have come forward claiming they have had romantic relationships with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the last 12 months.
The women allegedly know RFK Jr. through the Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group he chairs, Mediaite reported on Wednesday.
The new allegations come amid the ongoing fallout of the former presidential candidate’s ’emotional and digital affair’ with New York Magazine Washington reporter Olivia Nuzzi, who at 31 is almost 40 years his junior.
Each of the women reportedly disclosed their affairs in a series of text messages after learning about the relationship between Kennedy and Nuzzi.
On Tuesday, DailyMail.com revealed close friends of RFK Jr’s wife, actress Cheryl Hines, are expecting her to file for divorce in the wake of the controversy.
In an exclusive interview, a Hines confidante said the television star, 59, was ‘blindsided’ by the scandal and had believed her husband’s philandering was a thing of the past.
‘She adored being a member of America’s royal family, and having the famous Kennedy name attached to hers, but now she’s thoroughly embarrassed and furious about his adulterous actions and they believe she wants out,’ the insider said.
‘Cheryl was always very aware that Bobby had a long history of womanizing. She herself had become very publicly involved with him when he was still married to his second wife, so his playing around wasn’t anything new to her.
‘However, she firmly believed Bobby, in his seventh decade and with political aspirations, finally had his sex demons under control, and appeared settled down in their seemingly bucolic southern California domestic life.’
Now, she’s faced with allegations the deception was far worse than she was initially led to believe.
Those within Kennedy’s circle reportedly fear the allegations could jeopardize his recent alliance with Donald Trump.
RFK Jr. has made no secret of his ambitions for a role in a future Trump administration, after dropping out of the presidential race himself and backing the Republican nominee.
But a spokesperson for Kennedy said the allegations are not true.
‘This story is untrue. Mr Kennedy has had no romantic relationships with any woman other than his wife since their marriage,’ the spokesperson said.
Children’s Health Defense enjoyed soaring popularity during the Covid crisis, when vaccine mandates to get the virus under control globally prompted fierce backlash from anti-vaxxers.
The organization has been labeled one of the ‘main sources of misinformation’ on vaccines.
Kennedy has been on leave from his role within the group since embarking on his failed presidency run.
Both Nuzzi and RFK Jr. have insisted their relationship was never physical, with their tryst reportedly extending to steamy sexting sessions and ‘incredible’ Facetime sex.
Nuzzi on Tuesday lodged a court filing in Washington DC’s Supreme Court claiming her now ex-fiancé Ryan Lizza ‘explicitly threatened to make public personal information about me to destroy my life, career, and reputation – a threat he has since carried out.’
Lizza, the chief Washington correspondent for Politico, was issued with a no-contact order at a court hearing on Tuesday. He did not attend.
He told CNN in a statement: ‘I am saddened that my ex-fiancée would resort to making a series of false accusations against me as a way to divert attention from her own personal and professional failings.
‘I emphatically deny these allegations and I will defend myself against them vigorously and successfully.’
Nuzzi alleges Lizza began a campaign of harassment in July in an effort to blackmail her back into their relationship.
That matter will return to court on October 15.
