Before she was secretly sexting Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr., journalist Olivia Nuzzi was apparently a 16-year-old aspiring pop star — singing about being “jailbait” and “craving sin.”
“Bad things happen when you hear my name / Deny your attraction, but I’ve got no shame / Sixteen will get you 20 – I’ve got you locked for life,” “Livvy” sings on the Lady Gaga-esque track “Jailbait.”
An old Myspace page from 2009 — which a source said belongs to Nuzzi — shows brunette Livvy posing in a purple tank dress with thigh-high boots and skinny headband. A 2010 photo from PopJustice.com shows the teen posing in a bra-revealing lace top and handcuffs.
“The day that Madonna released ‘Erotica’ … The day that Freddie Mercury sang his last note … The day that Britney Spears told you to hit it one more time … The day that Pamela Anderson was introduced to silicone … was the day that Livvy was born,” the page says.
“Livvy is the future, and Livvy is the past. Preparing to dominate the world and show you the way a pop object lives. Livvy has no off switch, and life is a performance in her eyes.”
The Post has reached out to reps for Nuzzi for comment.
The former New York Magazine reporter’s star exploded in scandal last year when news broke of her alleged digital affair with the married Kennedy — who, she has said, called her Livvy. The two met when she profiled him for New York during his 2023-2024 presidential campaign.
Kennedy has publicly denied having a relationship with Nuzzi.
Nuzzi will detail her spicy year-long correspondence with the man she calls “The Politician” as well as her career in political journalism in her book, “American Canto,” out December 2 from Avid Reader Press.
An excerpt was published by Vanity Fair, her new employer, Monday.
“I’m not your girlfriend / Not the girl next door / Not your girlfriend / I’ll give you just enough and leave you wanting more … ” Livvy vows in the song “Jailbait.”
“Craving sin / We walk a fine line / A game I’ll win / That word I define / A teenage queen right in front of you. Illegal drink / Killer to pursue.
“They call me jail bait,” she whispers at the end of the song.
According to a 2010 story on the music site PopJustice.com, Livvy described the song as being “about the role of the underaged, hyper-sexualized girl in society. That girl who takes half naked photos of herself in the mirror with her camera phone. It’s about pornographic ideals infiltrating our collective consciousness — this obsession with youth and beauty. I’m not saying that any of this is wrong, I’m simply stating that it is. This song is me coming to a societal realization.”
At the time of her alleged affair with Kennedy, Nuzzi was engaged to fellow political reporter Ryan Lizza.
This week, Lizza claimed in an article posted to his Substack, titled “Part 1: How I found Out,” that Nuzzi also “slept with” ex South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, 65, in 2020 while they were dating.
Nuzz dated older man Keith Olbermann a decade ago when the former MSNBC anchor was 55 and she was around 21, he confirmed to The Post previously.
According to Lizza’s account, Olbermann paid for Nuzzi to attend college, covered her rent and outfitted her in luxury designs from Tom Ford, Hervé Léger and Cartier.
