Olivia Nuzzi and Vanity Fair Will Part Ways
Condé Nast, the magazine’s parent company, said her contract would expire at the end of the year.
Vanity Fair will be parting ways with Olivia Nuzzi, the magazine’s short-lived West Coast editor, in an effort to extricate itself from a storm of controversy over her past romantic relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary.
“Vanity Fair and Olivia Nuzzi have mutually agreed, in the best interest of the magazine, to let her contract expire at the end of the year,” Condé Nast, the publisher of Vanity Fair, and Ms. Nuzzi said in a joint statement on Friday.
