A


New
York

magazine
reporter
has
been

placed
on
leave

for
allegedly
engaging
in
a
“personal”
relationship
with


Robert
F.
Kennedy. 

Star

political
journalist

Olivia
Nuzzi,
who
has
been
the
Washington
correspondent
for
the
publication
since
2017,
was

recently
placed
on
leave

for
disclosing
an
alleged
relationship
with
a
former
independent
2024
presidential
candidate.
Though
Olivia
didn’t
name
the
politician
by
name,

NBC
News,

citing
the


New
York
Times
and

CNN,
report
it
to
be
RFK,
who
is
married
to


Cheryl
Hines. 

“Olivia
Nuzzi
acknowledged
to
the
magazine’s
editors
that
she
had
engaged
in
a
personal
relationship
with
a
former
subject
relevant
to
the
2024
campaign
while
she
was
reporting
on
the
campaign,”
a
Sept.
19
statement
by



New
York


magazine
detailed.
“A
violation
of
the
magazine’s
standards
around
conflicts
of
interest
and
disclosures.”

The
magazine
noted
that
an
internal
review
of
the
work
produced
by
the
31-year-old—who
is
engaged
to
Politico’s
Chief
Washington
Correspondent

Ryan
Lizza—throughout
the
2024
presidential
campaign
thus
far
had
found
“no
inaccuracies
nor
evidence
of
bias”

“She
is
currently
on
leave
from
the
magazine,
and
the
magazine
is
conducting
a
more
thorough
third-party
review,”
the
statement
concluded.
“We
regret
this
violation
of
our
readers’
trust.”
