At least three women have come forward claiming to have been romantically involved with Robert F Kennedy Jr. in the past twelve months.
The women would be RFK Jr. met through the Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccination group of which he is chairman. Mediaite reported on Wednesday.
The new allegations come amid the ongoing fallout from the former presidential candidate’s “emotional and digital affair” with New York Magazine Washington reporter Olivia Nuzzi.

This week, DailyMail.com revealed that close friends of RFK Jr’s wife, actress Cheryl Hines, expect 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 believed her husband’s philandering was a thing of the past.
Now she is facing accusations that the cheating was much worse than she initially thought.
Those within Kennedy’s inner circle reportedly fear that 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 endorsing the Republican candidate.
But a spokesman for Kennedy said the allegations are untrue.
‘This story is not true. Mr. Kennedy has not had a romantic relationship with a woman other than his wife since their marriage,” the spokesperson said.
In 2022, the correspondent became engaged to Nuzzi, who announced their engagement on Instagram with a series of videos showing a large solitaire-shaped sparkler on her ring finger
Children’s Health Defense enjoyed a surge in popularity during the Covid crisis, when vaccine mandates to control the virus worldwide sparked strong backlash from anti-vaxxers.
The organization has been labeled one of the “main sources of misinformation” about vaccines.
Kennedy has been on leave since beginning his failed term as president.
Nuzzi wrote an unflattering profile of Kennedy last fall, condemning his “filthy” car, the “fear” that drove his campaign and how he caused a “simmering panic attack” in Washington.
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 filed a lawsuit Tuesday in the Washington DC Supreme Court, claiming that her now ex-fiance Ryan Lizza had “explicitly threatened to disclose personal information about me to destroy my life, career and reputation – a threat he has since carried out .’
Lizza, Politico’s chief Washington correspondent, was given a restraining order during a court hearing on Tuesday. He was not present.
He told it CNN in a statement: “I am saddened that my ex-fiance is resorting to making a series of false accusations against me as a way to distract from her own personal and professional shortcomings.
“I emphatically deny these allegations and will vigorously and successfully defend myself against them.”
There’s more to come.
