Olivia Nuzzi Placed on Leave After Revealing Personal Relationship with RFK Jr.

New York Magazine has placed Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi on leave after she disclosed a personal relationship with Robert F.

Kennedy Jr., a former 2024 presidential candidate.

Nuzzi informed editors about the relationship, raising concerns over potential conflicts of interest, though she clarified that it was never physical and she did not report on or use Kennedy as a source during that time.

Kennedy’s representative downplayed their interactions, stating they only met once.

While an internal review found no evidence of bias or inaccuracies, the magazine plans a more thorough external review.

This incident underscores the ongoing challenges journalists face in maintaining professional integrity amid personal relationships.
