What's Happening?
Vanity Fair has decided to part ways with Olivia Nuzzi, its West Coast editor, following controversy over her relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Nuzzi, a former Washington correspondent for New York
magazine, was involved in a personal relationship with Kennedy while covering him as a presidential candidate. This relationship led to her dismissal from New York magazine for failing to disclose the conflict of interest. The controversy has been further fueled by allegations from her ex-fiancé, Ryan Lizza, who accused Nuzzi of having an affair with another profile subject and providing political advice to Kennedy.
