Political scion’s relationship with Olivia Nuzzi stained reporter’s reputation and reinforced damaging clichés.
New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi arrives for the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on April 29, 2023. During her relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Nuzzi continued to talk and write about the presidential race.There are just so many cringey things about the New York magazine journalist Olivia Nuzzi’s inappropriate relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
While engaged in the relationship with Kennedy — which she said began late last year, after she wrote a profile of him, and ended in August — Nuzzi continued to hold forth on the presidential race. In March, during a discussion with the journalists Frank Bruni and Joe Klein published by the New York Times, she castigated the “establishment press” for failing to treat Kennedy as a serious contender in what she called “a three-man race.
“Reporters have all sorts of compromising relationships with sources,” Ben Smith wrote in Semafor. “The most compromising of all, and the most common, is a reporter’s fealty to someone who gives them information. That’s the real coin of this realm. Sex barely rates.”The journalism sex scandals we’ve had over the past few years have generally been of the #MeToo variety: male boss harasses female subordinate.
The relationship between Nuzzi and Kennedy was an open secret in certain media spheres, according to Business Insider. Kennedy, a one-time heroin addict whose second wife once found a diary in which he rated his various sexual conquests, boasted to friends that Nuzzi sent him intimate photos. Word got back to New York’s editor in chief, David Haskell, who confronted his star reporter.
