Overview
- Vanity Fair and Olivia Nuzzi issued a joint statement saying her short-term West Coast editor contract will lapse at year’s end.
- Ryan Lizza published what he says is a Nuzzi-written strategy memo for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., alleging she acted as a de facto operative.
- Nuzzi has rejected Lizza’s account as abusive and misleading, and her lawyer has said she disclosed only one improper relationship in her memoir.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declined to answer questions about the alleged affair and the purported memo when pressed by reporters in Washington.
- Nuzzi’s book, American Canto, was released last week to sharply critical reviews that fault it for evasion and sparse self-examination.
