Former 'New York' magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi revealed in her new book, American Canto, that she was worried about a dead worm in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s brain. In her new book, Nuzzi, 32, outlined her bond with the Health and Human Services secretary, 71, who previously disclosed that he had a dead parasite in his brain, People Magazine has reported. It was reportedly found after he experienced memory loss and lesser mental clarity. Nuzzi claims to have formed a "personal relationship" with Kennedy when she interviewed him for a profile for New York Magazine. She also recounted their intimate bond and referred to him as "the Politician." Olivia Nuzzi was notoriously fired from New York Magazine for her relationship with Kennedy, and she now works at Vanity Fair as West Coast Editor. In an excerpt of her book, she wrote: "I loved his brain. I hated the idea of an intruder therein," she wrote. "Others thought he was a madman; he was not quite mad the way they thought, but I loved the private ways that he was mad. I loved that he was insatiable in all ways, as if he would swallow up the whole world just to know it better if he could." Read excerpts from Olivia Nuzzi's book below: In her book, Olivia Nuzzi recalled how she felt in the morning after Election Day. Noting that she felt like her life aas "on fire," she said that Kennedy would oftentimes tell her he'd "take a bullet" for her. "I did not like to think about it. About the armed man at his speech," she wrote. "Or the armed man who broke into his home. Or the armed men he paid to guard him from armed men who sought to harm him while the federal government denied his pleas for protection from the security agency whose modern protocols were carved by the same bullets that cut boughs from his family tree and cut the track of the American experiment."She continued, "I did not like to think about it just as later I would not like to think about the worm in his brain that other people found so funny." She claimed that Kennedy would poke fun at the worm himself, as would several other late-night talk shows and online trolls. She also alleged that the 71-year-old, who has reportedly been sober for decades, told her during their tryst that he still used psychedelics, including dimethyltryptamine, or DMT. Kennedy is an infamous anti-vaccine activist. Kennedy told Congress this July that he has been relying on psychedelics to treat his depression and trauma, noting at the time that it could bear “tremendous” advantages.“These are people who badly need some kind of therapy, nothing else is working for them,” he told a House hearing. “This line of therapeutics has tremendous advantage if given in a clinical setting. And we are working very hard to make sure that that happens within 12 months.” Elsewhere in the book, Olivia Nuzzi claimed that RFK Jr. would often profess his love to her and say that he wanted her to bear his children. She claims he nicknamed her “Livvy” and penned poems for her. Olivia Nuzzi's American Canto comes out on December 2.
