New York magazine has announced that they have parted ways with Olivia Nuzzi after rumors swirled of an alleged affair with Robert F. Kennedy Jr . “Last month, the magazine enlisted the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine to review Olivia Nuzzi’s work during the 2024 campaign,” the outlet said in a statement on Monday, October 21.
“They reached the same conclusion as the magazine’s initial internal review of her published work, finding no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias.” The message continued: “Nevertheless, the magazine and Nuzzi agreed that the best course forward is to part ways. Nuzzi is a uniquely talented writer and we have been proud to publish her work over her nearly eight years as our Washington Correspondent.
We wish her the best.” Nuzzi, 31, worked for the publication as a high-profile political reporter. In September, New York published a since-deleted public apology to its readers.
It stated that Nuzzi was on a leave of absence after failing to disclose a “personal relationship” with an unnamed subject she profiled in 2024 election coverage. Nuzzi previously profiled Kennedy, 70, and Donald Trump . “Earlier this year, the nature of some communication between myself and a former reporting subject turned personal.
During that time, I did not directly report on the subject nor use them as a source,” the writer said in a statement to CNN . “The relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict. I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I’ve disappointed, especially my colleagues at New York.
” While Nuzzi never named Kennedy, multiple outlets, including CNN and The New York Times , reported he was the person in question. Kennedy, who has been married to Cheryl Hines since 2014, has denied the affair allegations . “Mr.
Kennedy only met Olivia Nuzzi once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece,” his rep told NBC News in a statement last month. Nuzzi, for her part, was previously engaged to fellow political reporter Ryan Lizza . Following their breakup, Nuzzi filed a no-contact order against her ex-fiancé.
In his response to the filing, Lizza made bombshell allegations about Nuzzi’s relationship with Kennedy. “She admitted the affair and over the course of weeks of conversations she confided how she fell into what she described as ‘toxic’ ‘unhealthy’ ‘stupid’ ‘psychotic’ ‘crazy’ ‘indefensible’ relationship with a 70-year-old ‘sex addict’ who told her he wanted to ‘possess,’ ‘control’ and ‘impregnate’ her,” the docs stated, per Page Six.

As rumors continued to swirl about Nuzzi and Kennedy, Hines exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about the ongoing scandal. “There has to be a connection.
There’s, like, a connection that you look at your husband or your partner and all the crazy going on around you, or you look and you check in and it’s like, ‘OK. It’s going to be OK. We’re going to move through this moment,’” the actress, 59, told Us on Saturday, October 19.
“And, you know, a lot of times it’s funny and you can lean over and say, ‘This is crazy balls,’ and have a moment together and then hold your head up high and go to the next thing.”.
