No, Olivia Nuzzi Was Not Fired From NY Magazine Because Of RFK Jr Sexting Scandal

Olivia Nuzzi and New York Magazine are 'parting ways', the publication announced on Monday. This comes after an investigation into the political reporter's 'undisclosed personal relationship' with Robert F Kennedy Jr. While several social media users claimed that the 31-year-old was 'fired' from her job due to the 'sexting' scandal, we found that this was not true. In a statement, New York Magazine said that the investigation, conducted by the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine, 'reached the same conclusion as the magazine’s initial internal review of her published work, finding no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias'. The publication further added that 'Nuzzi is a uniquely talented writer and we have been proud to publish her work over her nearly eight years as our Washington Correspondent'.

Meanwhile, the reporter's attorney told Vanity Fair that she 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'. Read More: Olivia Nuzzi was placed on leave last month. She admitted to having a 'personal relationship' with RFK Jr. The star reporter told The New York Times that 'some communication between myself and a former reporting subject turned personal'. She added: “The relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict.” Kennedy's spokesperson said that the former presidential candidate 'only met Olivia Nuzzi once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece'.
