Olivia Nuzzi has become the subject of attention due to rumors of alleged relationships between her and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Although the journalist did not directly name RFK, Olivia revealed that she had «personal» relationships with someone related to the 2024 election campaign. Her confession led to her employer, New York magazine, sending her on leave.
Olivia is a political reporter who worked as a correspondent for New York magazine. She is originally from New York and has been published in various publications, including Bloomberg News, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, according to her profile on Muck Rack.
The Washington correspondent was also mentioned in Forbes magazine’s «30 under 30» list in 2017.
In September 2024, Olivia’s employer, New York magazine, released a statement saying that Olivia «admitted to the magazine’s editors that she had personal relationships with a former subject related to the 2024 election campaign during her reporting, which violates the magazine’s standards regarding conflicts of interest and disclosures».
«If the magazine had been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the election campaign», - the publication noted. «An internal review of her published work did not reveal inaccuracies or signs of bias. She is currently on leave from the magazine, and the magazine is conducting a more thorough review by a third party. We regret the breach of trust with our readers».
Although New York magazine did not disclose with whom Olivia had «personal relationships», - CNN reported that it was Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The media noted that a «person with direct knowledge of the matter» insisted that Olivia’s relationship with RFK was «emotional and digital, not physical».
In response to the report, a representative of Robert stated to the media that the politician «met Olivia Nuzzi only once in her life for an interview she requested, which led to a negative article».
In her own statement, Olivia did not disclose the name of the «former subject of the report» with whom she had «personal relationships».
«Earlier this year, the nature of some communications between me and the former subject of the report became personal», - Olivia explained in her statement. «At that time, I did not directly cover the subject and did not use him as a source. The relationships were never physical, but they should have been disclosed to avoid the appearance of a conflict. I deeply regret not doing so immediately, and I apologize to those who have been disappointed, especially my colleagues at New York».
Olivia is engaged to her fiancé Ryan Lizza, who is also a journalist. He works as the chief correspondent in Washington for Politico and previously worked as a political analyst for CNN.
In 2017, Ryan was fired from The New Yorker after allegations of sexual harassment. Although he denied any wrongdoing, he was later fired from CNN
