New York mag puts reporter Olivia Nuzzi on leave for alleged ‘personal relationship’ with RFK Jr.

New York magazine placed reporter Olivia Nuzzi on leave Thursday night after an internal probe found “she had engaged in a personal relationship” with a key figure in the 2024 presidential race, reportedly former candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“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,” New York magazine said in a statement. 

Nuzzi, the magazine’s Washington Correspondent, has had several high-profile interviews while covering the presidential election. Among them was Kennedy, who she wrote a feature on late last year.

“Had the magazine been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign. An internal review of her published work has found no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias,” New York magazine continued. “She is currently on leave from the magazine, and the magazine is conducting a more thorough third-party review. We regret this violation of our readers’ trust.”

Status, a recently launched media blog, reported that the person she allegedly engaged in a relationship with was Kennedy, who is married to actress Cheryl Hines. Kennedy suspended his campaign last month and endorsed Donald Trump.

“She did not proactively disclose her alleged relationship with Kennedy to New York magazine and the outlet only recently learned of it, according to people familiar with the matter. The alleged relationship did not begin until after a November 2023 profile she wrote on Kennedy had been published, a person close to Nuzzi said. The person close to Nuzzi added that she did not use Kennedy as a source while covering the 2024 campaign,” Status reported.

New York magazine declined additional comment when asked about the Kennedy report. 

Nuzzi recently made headlines when Bloomberg allegedly scrapped major promotion of her six-episode interview series called “Working Capital,” after left-wing backlash stemming from a damning reported she authored about President Biden.

The report on Biden before he exited the 2024 race delved into his mental decline and the “conspiracy of silence” around him to stop it from becoming public knowledge. Biden dropped out shortly after Nuzzi’s report was published and Democratic Party pressure increased on the president.

Earlier this month, she penned a profile of Trump in the wake of the assassination attempt against him in July.
