Vanity Fair parts ways with Olivia Nuzzi amid Robert F. Kennedy Jr. controversy

Vanity Fair will not renew Olivia Nuzzi's contract following an internal ethics review triggered by allegations of undisclosed romantic relationships with high-profile political sources.

  • On Friday, Vanity Fair and Olivia Nuzzi agreed to part ways, mutually deciding to let her short-term West Coast editor contract expire at the end of the year.
  • Ryan Lizza's Substack essays on Telos News allege Olivia Nuzzi breached journalistic ethics and had affairs, including with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Mark Sanford, prompting the split.
  • Two weeks after the magazine published an excerpt, American Canto reached Amazon ranking 13,600 with no advance sales, while Telos News ranked 38th on Substack's politics chart Saturday.
  • Condé Nast is conducting a review of Nuzzi's Vanity Fair work amid concern over allegations, insiders told Semafor; the review is narrower than last year's New York Magazine probe and depends on future Lizza essays, The Wall Street Journal first reported.
  • The dispute resurfaced after a New York Times profile last month, with Ryan Lizza writing `Unfortunately, silence no longer seems advisable or even possible,` on November 17 as he continued claims on Substack.
