'New York' Suspends Olivia Nuzzi Over "Inappropriate Relationship" With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. | Defector
Briefly

Nuzzi disclosed an inappropriate relationship with RFK Jr. during a profile, leading to her suspension for potential ethical conflicts as a political journalist.
Nuzzi stated, "earlier this year, the nature of some communication between myself and a subject turned personal. It was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict." Her emphasis on the relationship's nature indicates her acknowledgment of the ethical implications in political journalism.
The editor, David Haskell, noted Nuzzi's assurance that she didn’t use Kennedy as a source during their relationship, raising questions about the integrity of her reporting.
Kennedy's team denied the relationship claims, stating, "Mr. Kennedy only met Olivia Nuzzi once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece," suggesting a defensive stance against the revelations.
