"Olivia Nuzzi has always known how to spot a good story, especially when she can put herself in the middle of it. The now-infamous journalist, who lost a coveted post as Washington correspondent for New York magazine last year when details emerged that she'd had a sexting romance with now Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after profiling him, is back with a new book, American Canto, and a publicity tour about the whole sordid situation. Mainly about herself."
"I have a vague memory of defending Nuzzi on Twitter, and getting a digital thank-you from her, when Weiner's communications director came after her in crude, sexist terms, calling her a "bitch," "slutbag," "twat," and "cunt," promising to ruin her in New York. I needn't have worried about her; Nuzzi seemed to get the last word, for a while, turning her new fame into a job as New York's first-ever Washington correspondent at the age of 22."
Olivia Nuzzi rose to prominence as a 20-year-old intern who wrote a tell-all about Anthony Weiner's 2013 mayoral campaign, then leveraged that fame into becoming New York magazine's first Washington correspondent at 22. She lost that position after revelations of a sexting romance with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now Health and Human Services Secretary. She published a new book, American Canto, and embarked on a publicity tour. Her former fiance, Ryan Lizza, published a multi-part exposé alleging additional romantic and journalistic misconduct, undermining attempts to rehabilitate her public reputation.
