'Sober' RFK Jr. Spilled Wild Drugs Secrets, Alleged Ex-Lover Claims

Robert F. Kennedy’s “digital lover” says he maintained a secret drug habit despite his claims to have been “sober” for decades.

A forthcoming book alleges that Kennedy admitted as recently as last year to taking psychedelics like DMT, which is short for dimethyltryptamine, which produces a high that is often described as simulating a near-death experience.

Olivia Nuzzi made the revelation in her new tell-all memoir—details of which were shared with The New York Times in a feature that was published Friday.

Nuzzi, 32, wrote that the married Kennedy, 71, confided in her that he smokes DMT. She told him that she “liked uppers” and takes Adderall.

There is a stark difference between Adderall, which is prescribed to millions of Americans, and DMT, which the Drug Enforcement Agency says “has no approved medical use in the United States.”

Like many of Trump's pals in the Trump Crime Syndicate.
