RFK Jr. uses psychedelics, Olivia Nuzzi writes in new book

A new book by journalist Olivia Nuzzi seems likely to go into over-the-top details of her alleged sexting affair with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., one that saw her part ways with New York Magazine as the publication’s Washington correspondent.

The journalist never names Kennedy, The New York Times reports, but the previously well-reported scandal makes it clear who she is writing about.

Nuzzi did not go into extreme detail about what and when Kennedy, who is now secretary of health and human services, might have drunk, although he did say he had smoked dimethyltryptamine, a potent hallucinogen more commonly known as DMT.

A request for comment from HHS about the secretary’s alleged drug use was not immediately returned.

“She writes that despite having been ‘sober’ for decades, Kennedy told her that he still uses psychedelics and even smokes dimethyltryptamine, or DMT,” the New York Times wrote about her book. “She told him ‘she liked stimulants. I told her I took Adderall.'”

Other sordid details in the book, “American Canto,” include his nickname for her, “Livvy,” and that the anti-vaccine septuagenarian wanted Nuzzi, now 32, to have his baby.

The story also recounts how “they chose each other’s favorite parts, she writes: he chose his mouth. She chose his nose.”

In a fun twist, Kennedy’s wife, Cheryl Hines, has also published a new book. “Unscripted” is now on sale.

Nuzzi’s is scheduled to launch on December 2.
