Star Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi is on leave pending a third party investigation into her reporting during the relationship
The secret relationship between New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was exposed because he frequently bragged about it to his friends, the Daily Beast reported Saturday.
The 71-year-old former independent presidential candidate reportedly boasted about the affair, and about nude photos Nuzzi, 31, sent to him, so widely that word reached NY Magazine editor-in-chief David Haskell.
According to Daily Beast, Haskell subsequently confronted Nuzzi about it in a one-on-one meeting held Sept. 13 at the publication’s New York offices. The star Washington correspondent denied the affair several times before, as DB put it, Haskell “gave Nuzzi the option to come clean.”
As Haskell explained in an email to NY Mag staff on Friday, after Nuzzi confessed t0 the relationship, she was taken off of all coverage of the 2024 presidential election and subsequently went on leave.
