The View host, Ana Navarro, recently expressed her views regarding the drama involving RFK Jr. and New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi. Commenting on their purported “personal relationship,” Navarro deemed it “unethical,” stating her concerns about the implications for Nuzzi’s journalism.
“It was unethical, and it, kind of, now puts all her writings in a different perspective. And they’re going through them with a fine tooth comb to see if they see any conflict of interest. That’s the issue that she was covering. The issue here is conflict of interest. That she was covering the presidential campaign while writing pieces.”
Navarro elaborated:
“He’s had a long, long record of philandering for many decades. His wife knows it and seems to be okay with it. So, like, what are the consequences for him? The truth is, Olivia, who I also know and think is extremely talented, had a lot more to lose in this. And she is losing it. You know, the magazine right now is conducting a review and an investigation of the situation.”
For those unfamiliar with the situation, the controversy ignited after reports surfaced about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., commonly known as RFK Jr., and journalist Olivia Nuzzi’s alleged involvement. According to Entertainment Weekly, the alleged relationship began late last year but only gained public attention recently.
Entertainment Weekly also noted that a spokesperson for RFK Jr. denied any speculation, claiming that he had met Nuzzi only once. Despite this, Nuzzi has been put on leave as the magazine initiates a “thorough third-party review” of the incident.
“It goes back to the sexism we fall into”: Alyssa Farah Griffin comments on the RFK Jr. scandal
As Ana Navarro shared her commentary on the scandal, other co-hosts from The View also expressed their insights. While Navarro highlighted that Nuzzi has more at stake than RFK Jr., Alyssa Farah Griffin voiced her concerns about the role of “sexism” in framing this narrative, pointing out that headlines often mention Nuzzi but not RFK Jr.
“She’s considered a world-class journalist. She’s young, but she’s one of the best profile writers. That piece she wrote of RFK was scathing – she didn’t pull punches. I agree it blurred ethical lines. I don’t agree with what she did. I think she will acknowledge it and take responsibility, but every time I see a headline that says ‘Olivia Nuzzi scandal,’ no RFK scandal. It goes back to the sexism we fall into.”
Griffin emphasized that “men need to bear a little more responsibility” in this context, while Sara Haines added her perspective:
“I get the optics problem. This was her beat and she did this.”
As the situation surrounding RFK Jr. and Olivia Nuzzi escalates, reports from Fox Bangor indicated that Nuzzi claimed she had no physical involvement with the politician. However, The New York Magazine provided a statement asserting:
“Nuzzi acknowledged to the magazine’s editors that she had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign, a violation of the magazine’s standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures.”
Numerous publications, including the Daily Beast, reported that RFK Jr. mentioned having “intimate” photos of the journalist. As both RFK Jr. and Nuzzi share their viewpoints on the matter, discussions surrounding the controversy, including those from The View hosts, continue to capture public attention.
While many netizens resonate with the hosts’ opinions, others contribute their own perspectives on the unfolding situation.
