Vanity Fair West Coast Editor Olivia Nuzzi is reportedly set to release a book later this year addressing her scandalous “relationship” with Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr., according to a new report.

Former CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy reported in his Status newsletter on Tuesday that Nuzzi was “set to address her relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a forthcoming book,” which was currently “circulating among a select group of readers” ahead of its scheduled release later this year.

“Those familiar with the matter indicated that Nuzzi’s book reflects on the past decade she spent covering politics, Donald Trump, and the MAGA movement,” reported Darcy. “Notably, Status has learned, Nuzzi also addresses her relationship with Kennedy in the book—the first time she has done so publicly since releasing a statement last year.”

A year ago this month, Nuzzi left her position as Washington, D.C. correspondent for New York Magazine after she confessed to having a “personal relationship” with Kennedy while reporting on his 2024 presidential campaign.

“Recently our Washington Correspondent Olivia Nuzzi acknowledged to the magazine’s editors that she had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign, a violation of the magazine’s standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures,” said the magazine in a statement at the time. “Had the magazine been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign.”

Nuzzi’s relationship with the then-presidential candidate nearly 40 years her senior allegedly began after Kennedy “grabbed” her hand during a hike together. However, the relationship was allegedly “digital” in nature and “never became physical.”

Last month, Vanity Fair announced that it had hired Nuzzi as the magazine’s new West Coast editor.
