Olivia Nuzzi has parted ways with New York magazine, the publication said Monday, after the star Washington correspondent was placed on leave last month over a previously undisclosed “personal relationship” with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Nuzzi’s departure comes after the magazine enlisted the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine to review her work and concluded that her relationship with Kennedy, the former presidential candidate who was the subject of a lengthy New York cover story, did not result in inaccuracies or bias. “They reached the same conclusion as the magazine’s initial internal review of her published work, finding no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias,” the magazine said in a statement on its website. “Nevertheless, the magazine and Nuzzi agreed that the best course forward is to part ways.” “Nuzzi is a uniquely talented writer and we have been proud to publish her work over her nearly eight years as our Washington Correspondent,” the magazine said. “We wish her the best.” In a statement, Ari Wilkenfeld, an attorney for Nuzzi, said the journalist was “gratified though not surprised that two different investigations have determined that her reporting on the 2024 campaign was sound and that she did nothing wrong.” “For nearly eight years, she consistently produced critically celebrated and hugely popular journalism in her capacity as the Washington Correspondent for New York Magazine,” Wilkenfeld said. “She is grateful for the editors, fact checkers, and artists with whom she worked and to the readers who have supported her with their time, subscriptions, and engagement. She looks forward to the next chapter of her career.”
