Shakespeare, he is not but Robert F. Kennedy Jr has seemingly given the bard a run for his money after his alleged amorous prose to a former ‘lover’ was revealed.
‘Yr open mouth awaiting my harvest,’ RFK Jr is alleged to have written to former New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi.
‘Drink from me Love,’ he allegedly texted her, according to a Substack post published by Ms Nuzzi’s ex, Ryan Lizza, a journalist formerly at Politico.
‘I mean to squeeze your cheeks to force open your mouth,’ the US Secretary of Health and Human Services is alleged to have written.
‘I’ll hold your nose as you look up at me to encourage you to swallow.

‘Dont spill a drop’. I am a river You are my canyon. I mean to flow through you. I mean to subdue and tame you. My Love.’
Mr Lizza didn’t reveal how he got his hands on the poem he entitled American Canyon, a play on Ms Nuzzi’s upcoming book on RFK detailing their affair – American Canto.
He added there were ‘many others, too explicit to print, [which] changed everything’ in his relationship with Ms Nuzzi.
‘Thanks to Bobby, I am now aware of something called felching,’ Mr Lizza added.
In early October, New York Magazine announced that Nuzzi, 31, had been placed on leave.
Kennedy had bragged to his friends about receiving intimate photos of Nuzzi, The Daily Beast reported.
These boasts ultimately made their way back to her boss, New York Magazine editor David Haskell, which led to Nuzzi being placed on leave.
RFK is currently married to Cheryl Hines who played Larry David’s wife in HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm.
She revealed what it is like be married to him to PageSix: ‘There’s extremes on both sides to Bobby — and being his wife — because there are a lot of people who absolutely love and support him. And then there are people who, no matter what he accomplishes, are still going to criticise him.
‘And I thought it was important for me to say: this is why I love him. This is who he is as a person and this is who we are to each other. If I’m just telling the truth about what I’ve been through… it makes me feel better because they’re my own words and you can’t misconstrue them.’
It came after RFK’s cousin Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of former US President John F. Kennedy, has revealed she has less than a year to live after a diagnosis of terminal blood cancer.
Just hours after giving birth to her daughter last year, the 35-year-old was diagnosed with myeloid leukaemia, a type of blood cancer, she says.
Tatiana also blasted her cousin, RFK for his scepticism of vaccines in the New Yorker article.
She wrote: ‘Bobby is a known skeptic of vaccines, and I was especially concerned that I wouldn’t be able to get mine again, leaving me to spend the rest of my life immunocompromised, along with millions of cancer survivors, small children, and the elderly.
‘Bobby has said, “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” Bobby probably doesn’t remember the millions of people who were paralysed or killed by polio before the vaccine was available.’
RFK Jr’s top five weirdest moments
There’s something in the water: RFK Jr’s suggested that chemicals in water may be influencing children’s gender identity— a claim many experts call baseless.
Bear necessities: He admitted that in 2014 he dumped a dead bear cub in Central Park, along with a bicycle, to make it look like a cyclist had hit the bear.
Brain worms: In court testimony, Kennedy revealed he had a tapeworm from food he ate in South Asia, claiming it ate part of his brain that led to long-lasting ‘brain fog.’
Measles outbreak: In 2019, a measles outbreak in Samoa caused the deaths of 83 people – most children. ‘I had nothing to do with people not vaccinating in Samoa,’ he said in the 2023 documentary Shot in the Arm. ‘I never told anybody not to vaccinate. I didn’t go there with any reason to do with that.’
Racist conspiracies: Kennedy spread a racist and antisemitic claiming the virus targets ‘Caucasians and Black people’ while ‘Ashkenazi Jews and [Chinese people]’ are the most immune.
