Olivia Nuzzi is on leave from New York Magazine after acknowledging she had an affair with worm-brained presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while she was covering he 2024 campaign and he was married to actress Cheryl Hines, The Wrap reports.
The magazine reportedly learned of the affair before Nuzzi disclosed it. “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,” read a statement from the magazine.
Nuzzi had written a profile of the Man Who Dumps Bear in Park in 2023, but a person close to the report told a reporter anonymously that the affair started after it was published.
