Keith Olbermann Confirms Past Relationship With Olivia Nuzzi

Political commentator Keith Olbermann has publicly acknowledged his past relationship with New York Magazine journalist Olivia Nuzzi, which transpired over a decade ago when he was 55 and she was 21. Olbermann's comments came amid scrutiny of Nuzzi's recent 'emotional and digital' affair with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which has prompted her temporary leave from the magazine. He described their relationship as 'really nice' and 'wholesome,' asserting that they did not try to keep it secret and that he assumed it was common knowledge. Although Nuzzi confirmed the personal relationship with Kennedy, she maintained that it was never physical. The ongoing controversy has raised questions about journalistic ethics, particularly regarding conflicts of interest in political reporting. Nuzzi's case is currently under review by an independent third party, while Olbermann plans to discuss more details on his podcast.
