Vanity Fair is parting ways with West Coast editor\u00a0Olivia Nuzzi\u00a0amid ongoing controversy over her relationship with profile subject Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while she was the Washington correspondent for New York magazine.<\/p>\n

\n

A joint statement Friday from the magazine and Nuzzi said that they \u201chave mutually agreed, in the best interest of the magazine, to let her contract expire at the end of the year.\u201d She had been hired as its West Coast editor in September.<\/p>\n

Nuzzi, 32, had been a star reporter for New York magazine known for colorful political profiles until the fall of 2024, when it was revealed she had an intense personal relationship with\u00a0Kennedy, a presidential candidate at the time she wrote about him and now head of the Department of Health and Human Services. Nuzzi was fired by New York for not disclosing her relationship.<\/p>\n

She reflected on their relationship and the fallout from it in the memoir \u201cAmerican Canto,\u201d which refers to Kennedy as \u201cThe Politician\u201d and ex-fianc\u00e9 Ryan Lizza as \u201cthe man I did not marry.\u201d It was excerpted in Vanity Fair but competed for attention with a series of Substack posts by Lizza that contained embarrassing allegations.<\/p>\n

Their feud quickly gripped media insiders as Lizza alleged that Nuzzi had an affair with another profile subject and had given Kennedy political advice, both considered off limits for journalists. Lizza even posted salacious, cringeworthy text messages from Kennedy to Nuzzi that he had intercepted.<\/p>\n

Nuzzi denounced her ex-fiance\u2019s posts, in a Substack interview with Emily Sundberg, as \u201cfiction-slash-revenge porn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s announcement came only days after the publication of \u201cAmerican Canto,\u201d disdained by critics and apparently of little interest to the reading public. The book ranked just 6,094 on Amazon.com\u2019s bestseller list as of Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Critics were harsh: \u201cA tell-all memoir? Ha. This is a tell-nothing memoir,\u201d wrote Helen Lewis in The Atlantic.<\/p>\n

Through a miserable week, Nuzzi posted a humorous Substack column of \u201cSigns Your Book Rollout Has Gone Awry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among them: \u201cMonica Lewinsky reaches out to check on your mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
