UPDATE: Journalist Olivia Nuzzi was spotted hiking alone in Los Angeles on Tuesday, just hours after voicing concerns about being followed by paparazzi. The Vanity Fair editor appeared stoic during the outdoor photo shoot, reflecting on the intense scrutiny she has faced after the release of her memoir, “American Canto,” which has drawn sharp criticism from major publications.
According to exclusive images obtained by Page Six, Nuzzi, 32, donned black leggings, a matching long-sleeve top, and hiking boots, shielding her eyes with black sunglasses as she navigated the trails. After her hike, she drove off in a white Ford Mustang. This outing marks her first public appearance since her memoir’s launch and the backlash it has received.
The memoir has faced scathing reviews, with The Atlantic’s Helen Lewis labeling it a “tell-nothing memoir.” Meanwhile, The New York Times described it as “self-serious and altogether disappointing.” In a pointed Instagram post, Nuzzi shared a list titled “Signs Your Book Rollout Has Gone Awry,” humorously addressing the paparazzi’s invasion of her privacy.
Nuzzi’s recent drama stems from a high-profile scandal involving Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. In September 2024, she confirmed a personal relationship with the married politician after he allegedly boasted about intimate messages she sent him. This revelation forced her to file for a no-contact order against her former fiancé, Ryan Lizza, who accused her of infidelity, leading to her suspension and subsequent firing from New York Magazine.
Despite the turmoil, Cheryl Hines, RFK Jr.’s wife, has remained supportive of her husband throughout the controversies. Their relationship has faced scrutiny, particularly after allegations of Kennedy’s inappropriate messages to Nuzzi emerged.
As these developments unfold, many are left wondering how Nuzzi’s public image will be affected and what her next moves will be following the backlash from her memoir and her tumultuous personal life.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story continues to develop.
