Many people have spoken in favor of Olivia that she has been singled out while what allegedly happened between her and Kennedy Jr was not that uncommon. “Everyone in DC knows who everyone is hooking up with and that Olivia Nuzzi is not unique in her situation. Such fake outrage,” Emma-Jo Morris, editor, Breitbart News said.
“You cannot even count the number of journalists in marriages or romantic trysts with people in government/campaigns. You would go into a coma before you got to the end of the list. Why is Nuzzi the exceptional case we’re all supposed to care about now. The White House press secretary was with CNN correspondent Suzanne Malveaux until last year, and they have a kid together,” Emma wrote.
New York Magazine’s contributing editor Andrew Rice called Olivia Nuzzi a magnet for hatred as he praised her work. Andrew’s post went viral with social media users questioning his ethics. “I have worked closely with my colleague @OliviaNuzzi for years now, and I have learned in that time that she is an impossible-to-discourage reporter, a lovely writer, a generous collaborator, and a magnet for hatred. She is also an empathetic human, as evidenced by her work…” Andrew wrote.
RFK Jr dismissed the allegation and said he met Olivia only once for an interview that resulted in a hit piece. Olivia, without naming Kennedy Jr, acknowledged that a relationship, not physical, developed. Olivia’s ex-fiance Ryan Lizza issued a statement that he would also not cover Kennedy Jr because of his connection to the incident.
