New York magazine on Thursday said its Washington correspondent, Olivia Nuzzi, is on leave after learning the star journalist had allegedly engaged in a romantic relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“Recently our Washington Correspondent Olivia Nuzzi acknowledged to the magazine’s editors that she had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign, a violation of the magazine’s standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures,” a spokesperson for New York magazine said in a statement in response to questions from Status.
“Had the magazine been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign,” the spokesperson added. “An internal review of her published work has found no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias. She is currently on leave from the magazine, and the magazine is conducting a more thorough third-party review. We regret this violation of our readers’ trust.”
I hope for her sake that brain worms can’t be transferred through sexual contact.
According to another article, it was not physical.
Nuzzi confirmed that “earlier this year, the nature of some communication” between herself “and a former reporting subject turned personal.”
“During that time, I did not directly report on the subject nor use them as a source,” Nuzzi added. “The relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict.
I expect some type of flirtation or sexting maybe? Neither is okay for objectivity, but brain worms don’t have phone technology just yet.
brain worms don’t have phone technology just yet.
Well then I hope RFK didn’t ever have the phone up to his ear, because he claims he had hundreds of clients with giant tumors behind their ears from using cell phones.
You know how you see all those people walking around with giant tumors behind their ears?
