Reporter Olivia Nuzzi and New York Magazine have decided to part ways following the revelation of Nuzzi’s undisclosed relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The decision was made after an independent review found no inaccuracies or evidence of bias in Nuzzi’s 2024 election coverage. Nuzzi, who had been working as a Washington correspondent for the magazine for 8 years, was placed on leave in September after disclosing her personal relationship with someone relevant to the presidential campaign. The person was revealed to be RFK Jr., whom Nuzzi had written a profile about in 2023.
The affair between Nuzzi and Kennedy has reportedly caused strain in his marriage to Cheryl Hines, with additional details coming to light through court documents related to a legal dispute between Nuzzi and her former fiancé Ryan Lizza. New York Magazine stated that if they had known about the relationship, Nuzzi would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign.
The decision to part ways was mutual, with the magazine wishing Nuzzi the best in her future endeavors. The news of Nuzzi’s departure comes after a period of controversy surrounding her undisclosed relationship with Kennedy, further complicating the already complicated dynamics of the 2024 presidential campaign.
