Olivia Nuzzi On Leave After Relationship With Former Subject, Reportedly RFK Jr.

New York magazine said Thursday that star Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi has been placed on leave after she acknowledged to editors she had a personal relationship with a “former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign.”

Journalist Oliver Darcy first reported in his newsletter Status that Nuzzi was allegedly in a romantic relationship with independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“Recently our Washington Correspondent Olivia Nuzzi acknowledged to the magazine’s editors that she had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign, a violation of the magazine’s standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures,” the magazine said in a statement.

“Had the magazine been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign.”
