Overview
- In a Nov. 17–18 post on his Telos News site, Lizza describes finding an unfinished love letter dated March 5, 2020 that he says indicated a physical relationship between Nuzzi and Sanford, whom she had profiled in 2019.
- Lizza further alleges Nuzzi previously had a financially supportive relationship with Keith Olbermann, claiming the broadcaster paid tuition, rent and bought luxury gifts; Olbermann reacted on X to the Sanford allegation but did not address the “sugar daddy” claims.
- Media outlets report that Nuzzi and Sanford have not issued substantive public responses to Lizza’s account as reporters continue seeking comment.
- Excerpts from Nuzzi’s forthcoming memoir, American Canto, recount her personal relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; a Kennedy spokesperson has said he only met Nuzzi once for an interview.
- Nuzzi left New York Magazine in 2024 over her digital relationship with Kennedy, later joined Vanity Fair as West Coast editor, and her book is slated for release on Dec. 2.
