Critics pan Olivia Nuzzi's memoir as her media saga widens - Poynter

"The two were once in a relationship and were the talk of Washington, D.C.'s spicy political circles. Nuzzi was the wunderkind who wrote well-received, insider-type profiles at places such as Vanity Fair, New York magazine and The Daily Beast. Lizza, 18 years her senior, had a resume that included work at places such as New York, The New Yorker, CNN and Politico."

"Their relationship ended after it was learned that Nuzzi had an inappropriate personal (but not physical, both involved parties allege) relationship with someone she had covered: none other than former Republican presidential candidate and future Trump cabinet member Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Her close connection to RFK Jr. ultimately cost Nuzzi her job at New York magazine. Things later got really messy when Nuzzi filed a restraining order against Lizza, claiming he was harassing and blackmailing her. She later withdrew the order."
