Overview
- American Canto was released Tuesday to broadly negative notices from major outlets, including critiques from the New York Times, Washington Post, The Atlantic, and The New Yorker.
- Vanity Fair and Condé Nast are conducting a narrow review of Nuzzi’s work, and people familiar with the discussions say her temporary contract may lapse without renewal, though no decision has been announced.
- Ryan Lizza continues publishing a multi-part Substack series alleging ethical breaches by Nuzzi, including attempts to thwart reporting on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and claims of other relationships, with several assertions uncorroborated publicly.
- Nuzzi has publicly denounced Lizza’s posts as harassment and “fan fiction-slash-revenge porn,” while Lizza has responded that he is telling the truth.
- Kennedy’s team has denied a physical relationship with Nuzzi and, according to Semafor, he is expected to remain silent as the dispute between the journalists plays out.
