A spokesperson for Kennedy previously told The New York Times that the 70-year-old had met Nuzzi “once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece.” Nuzzi has since parted ways with New York Magazine.
In a three-minute clip he posted to X, Kennedy told actor Roseanne Barr he had set out from New York City in October 2014 to spend a weekend falconing with friends in upstate New York.
Kennedy bizarrely confessed in August to dumping a dead bear cub in New York City’s Central Park a decade ago.
Kennedy spread a baseless, racist and antisemitic conspiracy theory about the COVID-19 virus last year, claiming the virus targets “Caucasians and Black people” while “Ashkenazi Jews and [Chinese people]” are the most immune.
The 70-year-old said it was at this moment that he landed on the idea of leaving the bear cub’s body in Central Park next to an old bicycle he had in his vehicle as part of a ploy to make the cub’s death look like an accident involving a cyclist.
