Olivia Nuzzi, the once‑prominent political reporter now in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, had a rather provocative outing in Los Angeles on Tuesday. She posed in a form‑fitting, all‑black outfit for what turned out to be a photo‑shoot aimed at her physical presence, even though the same day she had publicly denounced the paparazzi for trespassing on her privacy.
The 32‑year‑old stepped out for a solo afternoon hike in front of cameras, her curve‑hugging gear cinching her waist and highlighting her hips. She finished the look with dark sunglasses, letting her blonde hair fall loose. These shots were captured exclusively by The Post.
This shoot followed the week’s announcement of her new, oddly titled memoir, American Canto, an effort that has already met with harsh criticism. Nuzzi also made a point of addressing the attention from “the paparazzo” in a note she sent to Feed Me, a business newsletter, saying that the press photographer’s attempt to justify their intrusions felt like a forewarning that “this never ends.” She also reiterated the sentiment on her Instagram.
While the book has been heavily panned, reviewers have taken issue with what they consider “aggressively awful” writing and the failure to deliver the juicy gossip many expected, particularly concerning her brief, though never physically consummated, sext‑text relationship with a 71‑year‑old Kennedy during his ill‑fated 2024 run. Nuzzi chose to refer to the political titan as “the politician,” and chronicles how their digital flirtation began when she interviewed the then‑candidate in October 2023.
The story’s drama spiked further when former fiancé and fellow journalist Ryan Lizza began publishing his perspective on the matter, alleging that Nuzzi had morphed into a political operative for Kennedy and that she intended to “consummate” her romance. Lizza even claimed that she had historically been involved with former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford.
In retaliation, Nuzzi has stated that Lizza is “peddling obsessive and violating fan‑fiction‑slash‑revenge porn” that would not meet the standards of any reputable publication.
The saga keeps unfolding, and as it does, her new employer, Conde Nast, is reportedly reviewing her hire at Vanity Fair in response to these allegations.
