RFK Jr. is seen ogling burlesque stripper alongside wife Cheryl Hines at New York City party in unearthed photos amid Olivia Nuzzi sexting scandal

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ogles a bare-breasted stripper as he and his wife Cheryl Hines enjoy a raunchy burlesque show in never-before-seen images obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.

The Kennedy scion, 70, looks transfixed by the curvy dancer who peels off her black tassel bra to reveal just a tiny set of pasties covering her nipples.

The sizzling scene played out in March 2016 when Kennedy took Curb Your Enthusiasm actress Hines to a VIP birthday bash at historic Harold Pratt House.

The storied venue on Manhattan's Upper East Side typically hosts society galas and meetings of the Council on Foreign Relations.

But, as our exclusive images reveal, Kennedy, Hines, and their well-off fellow guests were instead presented with a troupe of scantily clad beauties gyrating in thongs and high heels.

RFK Jr. – a confessed womanizer under fire this week for an alleged 'sexting affair' with New York Magazine journalist Olivia Nuzzi – can be seen just feet away from the podium in a smart black suit and necktie.

The veteran politician looks like he's lapping up the risqué entertainment but Hines, 59, wearing a plunging black cocktail dress, seems less impressed.

She turns and speaks to her husband before getting up and walking out of shot.

Kennedy remains rooted to his seat for the finale, however – as the shapely blonde turns in his direction and whips off her top.

'Cheryl looked a little shocked and awkward but RFK Jr. didn't bat an eyelid,' a fellow partygoer recalled.

'Evidently he felt quite at home in that environment.'

Kennedy, the son of slain Attorney General Robert F Kennedy, is reportedly fighting to save his ten-year marriage to Hines who is best known for playing comedian Larry David's long suffering on-screen wife following the sexting  evelations.

Nuzzi, 31, interviewed Kennedy at their marital home in Brentwood, California in November 2023.

The pair went for a hike and exchanged numbers and, in the following weeks, exchanged a lot more.

When rumors of a fling reached her boss, Nuzzi is said to have confessed to having a sexting – but not physical – relationship with Kennedy and was placed on leave.

Her engagement to Politico star reporter Ryan Lizza was also called off as the scandal made headlines late last week. The two had got engaged in September 2022.

Kennedy, who endorsed Donald Trump after dropping out of November's presidential election last month, has responded in far more combative fashion.

The super-fit septuagenarian is reportedly considering suing Nuzzi over the smutty content she allegedly sent to him.

Jessica Reed Kraus, who writes the popular House Inhabit Substack, wrote Saturday that Kennedy is exploring his legal options after Nuzzi allegedly 'bombarded him with increasingly pornographic photos and videos'.

She reported that those in Kennedy's orbit believe Nuzzi was trying to 'set him up.'

Nuzzi, Kraus reported, made a 'flirtatious remark during a phone conversation,' which led the independent candidate to block the prominent journalist.

In turn, Nuzzi reached out to Kennedy via email to have him unblock her number 'but later that night, she sent him a provocative picture, prompting him to block her again,' Kraus' account said.

Security expert Gavin de Becker is investigating the situation to see if Kennedy can file a civil suit against Nuzzi, Kraus reported.

'This has nothing to do with romance,' de Becker told Kraus. 'He was being chased by porn.'

Kennedy's protests fly in the face of reports that he cheated on multiple lovers in the past, however.

His second wife, Mary Richardson – who hanged herself in 2012 – once told a friend her husband regularly used aliases during trysts across the globe, among them 'Robert Strong'.

The environmental lawyer and Covid vaccine skeptic also documented his extramarital exploits in a series of 'secret' diaries obtained by the New York Post in the wake of Richardson's death.

The 2001 journal contained evidence that he had cheated on his late wife as many as 37 different women.

He reportedly used codes for different sex acts – 10 meaning intercourse – and documented his struggle to remain faithful while haunted by 'lust demons'.

On days not bearing the name of a woman Kennedy would often write 'Victory' to signal that he had resisted temptation.

He later said the diaries were 'a tool for self-examination and for dealing with my spiritual struggles at the time'.

The embattled politician, however, doesn't seem to be shirking from the limelight amid the scandal, as he was seen attending an event on Monday on Capitol Hill where he posed for photos with prominent Republican lawmakers. 

Ahead of the event, GOP Rep. Thomas Massie shared a picture with Kennedy, noting that they had dined together Sunday night. 

Fellow Republicans, Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Chip Roy, also shared snaps with Kennedy, while Sen. Ron Johnson had him appear on a panel discussion entitled: 'American Health and Nutrition: A Second Opinion.'
