Overview
- The Wall Street Journal reported the magazine will let Nuzzi’s short‑term West Coast editor contract expire at year’s end without renewal.
- Vanity Fair previously said it was taken by surprise by the claims and was looking at all the facts as it reviewed her status.
- Lizza has published a multi‑part Substack alleging an undisclosed relationship with Mark Sanford and that Nuzzi acted as a political operative for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including alleged catch‑and‑kill efforts.
- Nuzzi has rejected the allegations as harassment and “fan fiction/revenge porn,” and Kennedy’s team has denied any physical relationship.
- Nuzzi was hired under new editorial director Mark Guiducci, reportedly with Anna Wintour’s sign‑off, and a poorly received memoir release added to the scrutiny.
