Prominent author for New York Magazine Olivia Nuzzi received a contactless ordering against her ex-fiancé Ryan Lisaprominent political journalist with A politicianafter she accused him of bullying and extortion after their breakup.
The court ruling followed Nuzzi’s claims that Lizza threatened to reveal personal information to damage her reputation, CNN reported.
According to Nuzzi, the threats began in mid-August when Lizza allegedly warned that he would make public personal details about her in an attempt to ruin her career. Nuzzi’s claims were made in a lawsuit and presented to a D.C. Superior Court judge this week . Lisa, who was one of Politico’s top reporters, denied the allegations.
The case took on added complexity because of Nuzzi’s “undisclosed relationship with Robert Kennedy Jr“, a former independent presidential candidate.
In a statement to CNN, Nuzzi expressed regret for not disclosing her personal relationship with a campaign target, acknowledging that her professional boundaries had been compromised.
New York magazine placed Nuzzi on leave while it conducts a third-party review of her actions after she disclosed her personal involvement in a topic she wrote about during the 2024 presidential campaign.
Although the magazine did not confirm the person’s identity, a source familiar with the situation told CNN that the subject in question was Kennedy. Nuzzi had previously profiled Kennedy and covered his campaign activities, including a tourist trip with him last November.
Kennedy, who has been married to actor Cheryl Hines since 2014, recently endorsed Donald Trump following his own presidential campaign.
