Olivia Nuzzi Update: Keith Olbermann Speaks Out on 'Wholesome' Relationship

Political commentator Keith Olbermann has spoken out about his relationship with Olivia Nuzzi , the New York Magazine journalist placed on leave for an alleged affair with Robert F. Kennedy Jr .

Olbermann said that most of his relationship with Nuzzi was "really nice" and "wholesome." He revealed that a story was being written in The New York Post about their relationship.

"Fact check: true. We didn't do much to keep it quiet," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter .

"I just assumed nobody cared. Certainly it has nothing to do with the RFK stuff. I also assumed it had been covered online somewhere."

"Nearly all of it was really nice and (god help me) wholesome. In fact it was she with whom I got my first dog and for that I'll always be grateful to her.

"Anyhoo, I'll put a few basic details in tomorrow's podcast because bluntly if somebody's gonna bring this up I'm not giving the story to them. What am I, the free Nuzzi News Network? But I warn you: it's pretty boring."

New York Magazine released a statement on Thursday stating that Nuzzi, the Washington correspondent, had acknowledged that "she had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign."

Nuzzi confirmed to The New York Times that "some communication between myself and a former reporting subject turned personal" earlier this year, but she said the relationship was not physical.
