Olivia Nuzzi, a 31-year-old journalist for New York Magazine, has been placed on leave following allegations of an inappropriate 'digital relationship' with 70-year-old Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The controversy erupted after RFK Jr. allegedly bragged about receiving intimate photos and videos from Nuzzi, leading to scrutiny over the ethical boundaries between journalists and their subjects. RFK Jr. has claimed he repeatedly blocked Nuzzi's advances, while Nuzzi's defenders argue the relationship was exaggerated. The sexting scandal has also impacted RFK Jr.'s personal life, with his wife, Cheryl Hines, being seen without her wedding ring at public events.
