Olivia Nuzzi has found a new home at Vanity Fair – almost exactly 11 months after parting ways with New York Magazine in the wake of a salacious sexting scandal involving now-Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
In her new role, Nuzzi, 32, will serve as West Coast editor and write for the magazine, the Condé Nast publication announced Thursday.
Her focus will be on “events, industries, and culture of the Pacific region.”
Vanity Fair global editorial director Mark Guiducci said in a statement announcing several new hires, including Nuzzi, that the title had been seeking out job candidates with a “certain fearlessness” for the last two months,
“The range of talent and expertise in this list is expansive,” Guiducci said. “But what our new colleagues have in common is a love for Vanity Fair, an appreciation for its history, and an excitement for its future. Each of them will help lead us there.”
Nuzzi had been out of full-time work since October 2024, when she and New York agreed to part ways following revelations of her steamy affair with the married Kennedy, 71.
At the time of the tryst, Nuzzi had been covering RFK Jr.’s independent presidential campaign. The magazine found Nuzzi violated ethics rules by failing to disclose the relationship, but was not biased in her reporting.
Nuzzi’s year-long affair with RFK Jr. allegedly included “incredible” FaceTime sex, “demure nudes,” lengthy phone calls and “I love yous.”
The sexting scandal and subsequent fallout also impacted Nuzzi’s personal life.
She filed for a protective order against her former fiance, former Politico reporter Ryan Lizza, accusing him of committing blackmail and harassment when news of the affair broke — only to withdraw the petition weeks later.
Nuzzi and Lizza ended their engagement around the time of her relationship with RFK Jr.
Nuzzi did not respond to The Post’s request for comment Thursday.
