"Vanity Fair revealed it is reviewing its relationship with newly hired West Coast editor Olivia Nuzzi on Friday after claims about her conduct surfaced in a Substack essay by her ex-fiance, Ryan Lizza, in a development the magazine said has taken editors by surprise. The review comes just months into editorial director Mark Guiducci's tenure, during which he has already made pointed editorial shifts, one of which included bringing Nuzzi into a senior role."
"This came despite her having been dismissed as Washington correspondent at New York magazine in 2024 after editors there discovered she had developed a close personal relationship with now-Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom she'd profiled the previous year. Vanity Fair's review, however, was triggered by Lizza's expansive Substack post, Part I: How I Found Out, which ignited social media on Monday."
Vanity Fair is reviewing its relationship with West Coast editor Olivia Nuzzi after ex-fiancé Ryan Lizza published a Substack post alleging she had affairs with people she covered. The review follows Nuzzi’s recent hiring during Mark Guiducci’s tenure and comes after Nuzzi’s 2024 dismissal as New York magazine’s Washington correspondent when editors discovered a close personal relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom she had profiled. Lizza alleges an additional affair with former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford after Nuzzi profiled him in 2019. Vanity Fair says editors were surprised and are examining the facts. Nuzzi’s lawyer contends the book acknowledges only one improper relationship.
