The ex-fiancé of Olivia Nuzzi, the journalist who allegedly had a sexting scandal with Robert Kennedy Jr., has accused Nuzzi of having an affair with former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford while he was vying for the 2020 Republican presidential nomination.
Ryan Lizza's account, published in a Nov. 17 Substack post titled “Part 1: How I Found Out, came just days after Nuzzi was profiled by The New York Times. The Times article delved into the details of the RFK Jr. scandal. And an excerpt from "American Canto," Nuzzi's forthcoming tell-all, was also published in Vanity Fair on Nov. 17. RFK Jr.'s wife, Cheryl Hines, recently addressed the supposed scandal in her memoir, as recapped by People.
The situation is messy — and the internet is tuned in.
“We should all know more,” one reader quipped on X.
“You're gonna wanna read this piece by Ryan Lizza about his relationship with Olivia Nuzzi immediately before the insane twist gets spoiled for you,” another posted.
