Olivia Nuzzi Leaves New York Magazine After Relationship Controversy

Olivia Nuzzi, a prominent political reporter for New York magazine, has mutually parted ways with the publication following revelations of a personal digital relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. While both an internal review and an external investigation found no evidence of bias or inaccuracies in her reporting, the magazine deemed it necessary to separate due to the potential conflict of interest. Nuzzi acknowledged that the relationship began in December 2023, shortly after she published a profile on Kennedy, and ended in August 2024. She expressed regret for not disclosing the relationship earlier and apologized to her colleagues. Kennedy, who has since suspended his presidential campaign, has claimed he only met Nuzzi once, disputing the nature of their relationship. The magazine praised Nuzzi's talent and contributions during her nearly eight-year tenure.
