Vanity Fair Drops Olivia Nuzzi Like a Hot Presidential Scandal

KEY POINTS

•Olivia Nuzzi and Vanity Fair agreed to end her contract by year-end 2025 due to ethical concerns about her relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
•Nuzzi left New York magazine in 2024, after an investigation cleared her reporting but cited conflict-of-interest violations tied to her romance with the ex-presidential candidate.
•Since their breakup, Nuzzi and her ex-fiancé Ryan Lizza have exchanged public accusations and legal drama centered on journalistic ethics and career sabotage.

In a timeless tale of journalist-meets-source, Vanity Fair and Olivia Nuzzi decided to "mutually part ways" by letting her contract expire end of 2025 — because love triangles and bylines don’t mix. Nuzzi, who joined Vanity Fair after bouncing out of New York magazine in 2024 due to her well-documented relationship with presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr., wrote a memoir called 'American Canto' spilling decades of political tea and romantic quirks. Meanwhile, her ex-fiancé and fellow Political Thunderdome contestant Ryan Lizza transformed Substack into their personal Twitter shade-fest, accusing her of questionable ethics and odd workplace relationships while juggling blackmail allegations from 2024 that she mysteriously dropped. It’s politics, passion, and petty accusations served hotter than a White House press briefing on election night.
