"In the greatest hits of eyebrow-raising headlines of 2025, Olivia Nuzzi, once a respected political reporter, finds herself at the center of what might be the most raucous romantic ruckus since that time your favorite college frat house rooms turned into a game of musical beds. Nuzzi allegedly carried on a "digital affair" with RFK, Jr., complete with raunchy poetry about "harvests" and "fletching.""
"Meanwhile, her ex-fiancé, fellow journalist Ryan Lizza, reportedly dropped the engagement faster than the cream in a Mudslide hits the bottom of a glass, and now went full Substack, milking his side with a blow-by-blow of betrayal, heartbreak, and what one might call an "udder-ly" intense scandal. It's just like a soap opera, only with more footnotes. So, here we are: politics, erotic poems, and journalistic ethics in a drunken fencing match,"
Olivia Nuzzi allegedly exchanged explicit digital correspondence with RFK Jr., including erotic poetry referencing "harvests" and "fletching." Ryan Lizza, Nuzzi's former fiancé and fellow journalist, reportedly ended the engagement and published a detailed, emotional account on Substack. The episode blends political figures, sexualized writing, and questions about journalistic ethics into a widely publicized spectacle. Media reaction employs soap-opera metaphors and splattered-mess imagery to emphasize the scandal's sensationalism. National Cookie Day is invoked as a tongue-in-cheek occasion to pair milk, cookies, and a Mudslide-based "Gossip Gulp" cocktail while following the ongoing coverage.
