Megyn Kelly has no doubt that Olivia Nuzzi had an affair with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Speaking about Nuzzi's upcoming memoir during the Monday, November 18, episode of her podcast, the conservative podcaster said she buys the 32-year-old political reporter's claims "entirely."
"It's so detailed like, she has to be a true lunatic to say all this," Kelly, 55, declared. "Because she would get sued so quickly for defamation, and if he were innocent, he would sue her."

But, you wouldn’t if it were true and you knew she had your text messages and so on."

Olivia Nuzzi's Memoir Claims She and RFK Jr. Fell in 'Love'

Olivia Nuzzi claimed Robert F. Kennedy told her he wanted to have a child together.
In her memoir, American Canto, Nuzzi insists her affair with Kennedy was far from just a fling.
The former New York Magazine correspondent, who now serves as Vanity Fair’s West Coast Editor, says that they fell in love and even talked about having a baby together.
"She said 'I love you' only after he said it first. He called her 'Livvy' and wrote her poems. He said he wanted her to have his baby. He promised to take a bullet for her," she wrote, according to The New York Times, which obtained an advanced copy of the book.

Olivia Nuzzi shared Robert F. Kennedy Jr. loved her lips.
Nuzzi shared how the Secretary of Health and Human Services loved her lips while she favored his nose.
She also noted that Kennedy had "particular complications and particular darkness" but couldn't help falling for him.
As OK! reported, Nuzzi and Kennedy's alleged affair was revealed in September 2024 after the reporter admitted to having a "personal relationship with" him and stepped down from her post at New York Magazine.
The writer apparently first got to know Kennedy in 2023 when she interviewed him about the presidential election before he dropped out.
