New York Magazine journalist Olivia Nuzzi has accused her ex-fiancé, Politico's Ryan Lizza, of blackmail and harassment following their breakup and her revelation of a personal relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Nuzzi claims Lizza threatened to destroy her career and reputation by leaking personal information, allegedly hacked her devices, and impersonated others to disseminate damaging information. Consequently, Lizza has taken a leave of absence from Politico while an investigation is conducted. A court in Washington, D.C., granted Nuzzi a temporary no-contact order against Lizza. Lizza denies the allegations, asserting they are false and aimed at diverting attention from Nuzzi's professional misconduct.
