Newly surfaced photos reveal Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s unexpected encounter at a 2016 New York City party.
According to Daily Mail, exclusive images show the 70-year-old Kennedy scion and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, attending a VIP birthday celebration at the historic Harold Pratt House. The event took an unconventional turn with the presence of burlesque dancers.
The photos depict Kennedy, dressed in a black suit and tie, intently watching a scantily clad performer. His wife, donning a plunging black cocktail dress, appears visibly uncomfortable with the risqué entertainment.
Kennedy's fascination with the burlesque show stands in stark contrast to Hines' apparent discomfort. The images show the independent presidential candidate seated close to the stage, maintaining his gaze as a dancer removes her top, revealing pasties.
An unnamed partygoer described the scene, noting Hines' shocked expression and eventual departure from the immediate area. Kennedy, however, remained in his seat throughout the performance.
This incident has resurfaced amidst recent allegations of a "sexting affair" between Kennedy and New York Magazine journalist Olivia Nuzzi, adding another layer of complexity to the politician's public image.
The emergence of these photos comes at a challenging time for Kennedy's personal life. Reports suggest that his ten-year marriage to Hines may be under strain following the sexting scandal with Nuzzi.
Kennedy has responded aggressively to the allegations, with reports indicating he is considering legal action against Nuzzi. Jessica Reed Kraus, writing for House Inhabit Substack, claims that Kennedy's team believes Nuzzi may have been attempting to "set him up."
The situation has reportedly prompted an investigation by security expert Gavin de Becker to explore potential grounds for a civil suit against the journalist.
This is not the first time Kennedy has faced allegations of extramarital affairs. His late second wife, Mary Richardson, once claimed he used aliases for trysts across the globe. Additionally, personal diaries obtained by the New York Post after Richardson's death in 2012 reportedly documented numerous infidelities.
Kennedy addressed these diaries, describing them as tools for "self-examination" and dealing with "spiritual struggles." However, the content allegedly details encounters with up to 37 different women over a single year.
Despite the ongoing controversy, Kennedy continues to maintain a public presence. He was recently seen dining with Republican Representative Thomas Massie and participating in a panel discussion on Capitol Hill hosted by Senator Ron Johnson.
