Olivia Nuzzi leaving New York Magazine after 8 years amid RFK Jr. affair scandal

Olivia Nuzzi is leaving New York Magazine after nearly eight years amid her affair scandal with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“Ms. Nuzzi is gratified though not surprised that two different investigations have determined that her reporting on the 2024 campaign was sound and that she did nothing wrong,” her attorney said in a statement Monday, as shared via X (formerly Twitter) by Hollywood Reporter correspondent Lachlan Cartwright.

“For nearly eight years, she consistently produced critically celebrated and hugely popular journalism in her capacity as the Washington Correspondent for New York Magazine.”

The statement continued, “She is grateful for the editors, fact checkers, and artists with whom she worked and to the readers who have supported her with their time, subscriptions, and engagement.”

“She looks forward to the next chapter of her career,” the statement concluded.

New York Magazine also provided its readers with a similar “update.”

“Last month, the magazine enlisted the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine to review Olivia Nuzzi’s work during the 2024 campaign. They reached the same conclusion as the magazine’s initial internal review of her published work, finding no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias,” the outlet explained.

“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.”
