To refresh your memory: journalist Olivia Nuzzi had an affair with Cheryl Hines’ husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and was eventually fired from her job at New York Magazine. At the time, she was engaged to another journalist, Ryan Lizza.
She rebounded and managed to get a gig at Vanity Fair as their West Coast Editor. Just a few days ago, the New York Times published a fawning profile about her now that she’s about to release a new book called “American Canto.”
Her ex Ryan Lizza has now written a blog post about his relationship with Olivia and, near the end, begins to explain how he first found out about her affair with … Mark Sanford, a former U.S. House Rep, surprising people who expected the reveal about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Olivia wrote a profile about Mark Sanford back in 2019.
