"This is not a sex scandal, wrote Lizza. It's an ethical one. Included in the stories Nuzzi attempted to help Kennedy with were the infamous tale of a bear cub carcass he left in Central Park. He describes his then-fiancee as obsessed with getting an advance copy of a pending New Yorker story about the bear. I assumed her desperation to get the piece was simple professional jealousy, he wrote, but she already knew about it, having learned about it from a confidential source."
"She's been widely criticized for failing to disclose the relationship to her editors despite the conflict of interest related to her writing a profile on Kennedy and continuing to cover the other candidates in the race. More recent revelations have reportedly led to her current employer, Vanity Fair, reviewing her conduct, with a spokesperson for the magazine telling The New York Times, We were taken by surprise, and we are looking at all the facts."
Olivia Nuzzi is accused of breaching journalistic ethics by assisting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in suppressing negative coverage, including the alleged outing of a confidential source and efforts to kill a New Yorker piece about a bear cub carcass. The relationship with Kennedy is reported to have been phone-only and undisclosed to editors while she profiled him and continued campaign coverage. Nuzzi departed New York magazine and her current employer, Vanity Fair, is reportedly reviewing her conduct. Additional allegations cite past undisclosed relationships with other public figures and portray her actions as more aligned with public relations than reporting.
