Olivia Nuzzi’s Future at the Magazine in Jeopardy Following Alleged Affair with Mark Sanford
Nuzzi’s position at the magazine was thrown into doubt after her former fiancé alleged she had a secret affair with another high-profile politician, Mark Sanford, the 65-year-old Republican former congressman and governor of South Carolina. It seemed her new bosses were unaware of that relationship.
But that wasn’t their only concern. As Radar has reported, the magazine’s recent hire had barely contributed since she was appointed West Coast editor in September, and insiders said everybody wanted her out.
Other than having the first excerpt of her new memoir, American Canto, which documented her alleged fling with RFK Jr., serialized, she’d been largely absent, according to sources.
“She didn’t have a single story in the next two issues of the magazine,” one source claimed. “She never picked up her Condé Nast computer, never came to a meeting, never responded to an email she was cc’d on.”
The insider added: “The only thing she ‘edited’ in the Hollywood issue got cut.”
It appears that Olivia Nuzzi’s future at the magazine is uncertain, with her lack of contributions and alleged affair with Mark Sanford putting her in a precarious position. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
