In a developing story that intertwines media, politics, and allegations of fear and intimidation, President Donald Trump's presidency has seen an intriguing subplot surface involving high-profile figures. Olivia Nuzzi, a journalist formerly with Vanity Fair, found herself at the center of a controversial scandal involving Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Ryan Lizza, Nuzzi's ex-fiancé, has made striking claims that Tucker Carlson, the television personality, once cautioned Nuzzi about the potential threats to her safety following her alleged affair with Kennedy.
According to Lizza's narrative on his Substack publication, Olivia Nuzzi expressed concerns to friends that Kennedy might pose a danger to her if their relationship came to light, reportedly saying, "Bobby will kill me." Lizza's account details Kennedy's efforts, with the assistance of security adviser Gavin de Becker, to keep the affair under wraps. De Becker, dubbed "terrifying" by Lizza, is alleged to have kept a close watch on Nuzzi, ensuring her silence and loyalty.
The situation escalated when Nuzzi, fearing for her safety, allegedly confided in Carlson, who responded by suggesting she should "fear for her life" and even offered to provide her with a shotgun for protection. Amidst the scandal, Kennedy is said to have persuaded Nuzzi to maintain allegiance by presenting a favorable narrative before ceasing communication with her, leaving Nuzzi desperate and seeking Carlson's assistance to reestablish contact.
Lizza recounts a dinner meeting between Carlson and Kennedy, where they reportedly discussed a larger conspiracy they believed was targeting Kennedy, and by extension, President Trump. Lizza characterizes Carlson as the "Alex Jones" figure in this saga, with Kennedy playing the "Oliver Stone" role, both individuals allegedly fueling each other's suspicions of a deep state conspiracy and blackmail by foreign entities.
The journalist's revelations come in the wake of Nuzzi's release of her memoir, which detailed the affair with Kennedy during his unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 2024. The aftermath of the scandal saw Nuzzi parting ways with Vanity Fair under mutual agreement, as confirmed by a joint statement from her spokesperson and the magazine last week.
As the story unfolds, the intertwining of personal and political narratives raises questions about the influence of power and media in shaping public discourse. The potential implications for all parties involved, including the President, continue to be a subject of much speculation.
