Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s alleged mistress Olivia Nuzzi has stepped away from her job with Vanity Fair.

Dec. 5 2025, Published 4:16 p.m. ET

Journalist Olivia Nuzzi, who recently broke down in tears while discussing her affair with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has suddenly left her new job at Vanity Fair, RadarOnline.com can report.

The now-former West Coast Editor stepped down from the magazine less than three months after she was appointed to the high-profile position.

Nuzzi 'Steps Down'

She had just accepted the position a few months ago.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Nuzzi and Vanity Fair have agreed to "part ways" following new revelations and allegations about her affair with RFK, Jr.

In a statement, the two parties announced they "mutually agreed, in the best interest of the magazine, to let her contract expire at the end of the year."

Nuzzi made headlines in late 2024 when she was accused of having an affair with then-presidential candidate RFK Jr. while covering his campaign.

At the time, Nuzzi was engaged to journalist Ryan Lizza, while RFK Jr. has been married to his third wife, Cheryl Hines, since 2014.

More Affair Accusations

RFK Jr. is currently married to actress Cheryl Hines.

Nuzzi's position at the magazine was thrown into doubt after her former fiancé alleged she had a secret affair with another high-profile politician, Mark Sanford, the 65-year-old Republican former congressman and governor of South Carolina. It seemed her new bosses were unaware of that relationship.

But that wasn't their only concern. As Radar has reported, the magazine's recent hire had barely contributed since she was appointed West Coast editor in September, and insiders said everybody wanted her out.

Other than having the first excerpt of her new memoir, American Canto, which documented her alleged fling with RFK Jr., serialized, she'd been largely absent, according to sources.

"She didn’t have a single story in the next two issues of the magazine," one source claimed.. "She never picked up her Condé Nast computer, never came to a meeting, never responded to an email she was cc'd on."

The insider added: "The only thing she 'edited' in the Hollywood issue got cut."

Nuzzi's Former Fiancé Fires Back

Ryan Lizza claimed ex-fiancé was going to make her relationship with RFK Jr. official.

At the same time, Nuzzi’s former fiancé, Lizza, has been making outrageous claims about her via his Substack series.

The fourth installment, released Monday, December 1, claimed Nuzzi and 71-year-old RFK Jr. planned to take their relationship to the next level after he officially bowed out of the presidential race.

“The timing was perfect. Bobby would no longer be a presidential candidate himself, so the media glare would dim, and, more importantly, Olivia later told me, he would no longer have the Secret Service protection that complicated an encounter. (And presumably Cheryl wouldn’t be around, either.)," Lizza wrote, referring to RFK Jr.'s wife, Cheryl Hines.

Nuzzi broke down in tears discussing the alleged affair on a podcast.

When pressed on her relationship with RFK Jr. during an appearance on the Bulwark podcast, not to mention the choices she made while covering his campaign, Nuzzi appeared visibly uncomfortable until she finally broke down and asked to pause the interview.

After noting how Nuzzi remained silent on RFK Jr. even after he allegedly "ghosted" and "betrayed" her, host Tim Miller noted, "There are more things I think you could reveal about him, I would assume, that you have chosen not to."

Nuzzi fired back and insisted she "did" reveal the truth about RFK Jr. and pointed to Miller's own reaction to her book, in which he said, "I'm mad at him. Like, 'F--- you, RFK. F--- you for how you treated Olivia.'"
