Olivia Nuzzi’s poorly-aged tweets resurface — from slamming Hollywood stereotypes to flirty Mark Sanford one-liner
Disgraced ex-New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi’s poorly-aged tweets are coming back to haunt her, including a jab at Hollywood for its salacious portrayal of female journalists — just as excerpts trickle out from her explosive memoir about her sexting affair with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The jaw-dropping posts are being mercilessly mocked online as the 32-year-old political reporter spills intimate details of her emotionally-charged, never-physical romance with the 71-year-old Kennedy scion in her bombshell tell-all, “American Canto.”
On Jan. 19, 2015, Nuzzi wrote, “Why does Hollywood think female reporters sleep with their sources?” while sharing a New York Magazine article titled “Why Can’t Hollywood Get Female Journalists Right?”
The scathing tweet went up 10 years before then-engaged Nuzzi’s career imploded when her tryst with the now-Health and Human Services Secretary — married to actress Cheryl Hines — was exposed.
“This did not age well,” one X user quipped about the eyebrow-raising post, adding “In 2015, she tweets about the misconception that female journalists sleep with their sources. Then she got fired admitting to an affair with Health Secretary RFK Jr.”
“It’s a mystery,” another user teased, with others calling the post “one of the funniest tweets of all time.”
“You can’t make this up,” others on X sneered, while roasting Nuzzi for forgetting to delete the ironic post.
In a September 2019 post, Nuzzi shared photos of former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who she allegedly slept with a year later, according to her scorned ex-fiance and Politico reporter Ryan Lizza, grinning ear to ear as she “spent some time” with him in the Palmetto State for New York Magazine.
“Now that we know Olivia Nuzzi was sleeping with yet another presidential candidate (Mark Sanford), this thread is worth revisiting,” an X user wrote on Monday.
In the eyebrow-raising post, one user commented then that Sanford looked “happy” in the photos, prompting Nuzzi to jest, “I tend to have that effect.”
The scandal-plagued writer then shared a playful WhatsApp exchange with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in November 2020, captioning it, “Rudy Giuliani explains why he’s ignoring me.”
The brief back-and-forth shows Nuzzi texting, “Hi Mr. Mayor,” to which Giuliani replies, “My mom always said anyone can make a mistake. Only an idiot repeats it.”
She fired back: “Where’s your sense of adventure.”
One X user went on to blast Nuzzi, saying that her “hyper fixation is sex with crusty old white guys.”
Nuzzi’s explosive expose refers to RFK Jr., 71, as “the politician” and details how their digital dalliance blossomed into a hot-and-heavy genuine connection after she wrote an article about him in October 2023, when he was still a presidential candidate.
In the book, Nuzzi wrote that Kennedy’s nose was her favorite part of his body and described his eyes as “blue as the flame” — and he loved her mouth.
She also dished that RFK would calm her over a supposed dead worm in his brain, declared his love, penned poems, nicknamed her “Livvy,” and swore he’d “take a bullet” for her during their steamy fling.
Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign in August 2024, saying he would endorse Donald Trump, several weeks before the scandal broke.
He has long-denied having an inappropriate relationship with Nuzzi.
The scandal left Nuzzi dumped by Lizza, embroiled in legal battles with him, and fleeing to Los Angeles, where she holed up for a year to write her tell-all.
She has since landed a job as Vanity Fair’s new West Coast editor.
Her book will be released next month.
