Cheryl Hines Downplays RFK Jr.–Olivia Nuzzi Scandal in Podcast Preview

Her remarks follow reports of a forthcoming Olivia Nuzzi memoir that revisits disputed digital-relationship claims.

Overview

  • In a clip from The Katie Miller Podcast shared ahead of its Oct. 28 release, Hines calls the 2024 allegations "more chaos and more rumors" from the campaign period.
  • Hines says she starts by "consider[ing] the source" and then speaks privately with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., declining to assess Nuzzi’s motives.
  • Nuzzi previously acknowledged that some communication with a former reporting subject "turned personal" and said the relationship was not physical.
  • New York Magazine said that was a standards violation but reported its review found no inaccuracies or evidence of bias in Nuzzi’s published work.
  • Kennedy’s spokesperson has denied any affair, while Nuzzi has resurfaced at Vanity Fair and is reported to be circulating galleys of a forthcoming memoir.
