WASHINGTON, DC: A series of claims have been made against Robert F Kennedy Jr’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, including her alleged affair with SpaceX founder, Elon Musk.

Shanahan had been married to a co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin, from 2018 to 2023, and shares a daughter with him.

Nicole Shanahan lived a luxurious and ‘controversial’ life in Silicon Valley

HuffPost citing a report by The New York Times stated that during her time in Silicon Valley, the 38-year-old enjoyed a very lavish life and was a part of most elite social circles.

However, during the Covid-19 pandemic, her and Brin’s relationship reportedly got damaged, and the former started going out without her ex-husband.

The Times report claimed that at the time, Shanahan also began to party a lot and take drugs, like cocaine, ketamine, and psychedelic mushrooms.

Once she became so intoxicated at a 2021 Miami party that IV was infused in her body.

Soon after the alleged incident, Brin and Shanahan went their separate ways, and weeks later, the billionaire filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Nicole Shanahan called the affair rumor ‘one of the most humiliating things’

However, she denied the allegations of her affair with Elon Musk in an interview with PEOPLE.

In 2023, the attorney said, “My career has been based on academic and intellectual credibility, and I was being shamed internationally for being a cheater.”

“To be known because of a sexual act is one of the most humiliating things, it was utterly debilitating,” she stated.

Shanahan also asserted at the time, “Did Elon and I have sex, like it was a moment of passion, and then it was over? No. Did we have a romantic relationship? No. We didn’t have an affair.”
