New York Magazine's Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi has been placed on leave after disclosing a personal relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a former presidential candidate. The relationship, which Nuzzi insists was never physical, violated the magazine's standards for conflicts of interest and disclosures. An internal review of her work found no inaccuracies or evidence of bias, but a third-party review is ongoing. Nuzzi expressed regret for not disclosing the relationship sooner, emphasizing that she did not report on Kennedy directly during their personal interactions. Kennedy's representative denied any romantic involvement, claiming they met only once for an interview. The controversy underscores the importance of maintaining journalistic integrity and transparency.
