Olivia Nuzzi Accuses Ex-Fiancé Ryan Lizza of Blackmail and Harassment

Nuzzi claims Lizza leaked personal details and hacked her devices after their breakup, leading to his leave of absence from Politico.

Olivia Nuzzi, a New York Magazine writer, has filed a lawsuit against her ex-fiancé Ryan Lizza, accusing him of blackmail and harassment.
Nuzzi alleges that Lizza stole a personal device, threatened to release personal information, and hacked her devices to damage her reputation.
Following Nuzzi's court filing, Lizza and Politico mutually agreed that he would take a leave of absence while an investigation is conducted.
Nuzzi was placed on leave by New York Magazine after admitting to a personal relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom she had previously reported on.
A temporary no-contact order has been granted against Lizza, and a court hearing is scheduled for October 15 to address the allegations.
