Overview
- Vanity Fair and Olivia Nuzzi issued a joint statement saying they mutually agreed to let her short-term deal end on December 31.
- Nuzzi joined the magazine in September as West Coast editor on a temporary contract that was set to expire at year’s end.
- Her ex-fiancé, Ryan Lizza, has published Substack posts alleging additional affairs and claiming she aided Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 2024 campaign, assertions that remain only partly corroborated.
- Vanity Fair previously said it was taken by surprise by the revelations and was reviewing the situation, while New York magazine earlier found a disclosure standards violation but no inaccuracies in Nuzzi’s work.
- Nuzzi has acknowledged violating ethics rules in interviews tied to her December 2 memoir release, which drew largely negative reviews and weak early sales.
