According to CNN, this individual is former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., although his spokesperson refuted this claim, stating that he only met Nuzzi once for an interview she requested, which resulted in a negative article about him. Kennedy has been married to actress Cheryl Hines since 2014.<\/p>\n<p>In a note posted on its website, New York magazine explained that Nuzzi acknowledged her relationship with a former campaign subject while covering the election, which breached the magazine&#8217;s conflict of interest and disclosure policies. The note stated that had they known about this relationship beforehand, she would not have been allowed to cover the presidential campaign. An internal review found no inaccuracies or bias in her published work; however, she is currently on leave while an external review takes place. The magazine expressed regret over this breach of trust with its readers.<\/p>\n<p>Nuzzi told CNN&#8217;s Brian Stelter that some communication between her and a past reporting subject became personal but insisted she did not report on him during their interaction. She clarified that their relationship was never physical but acknowledged it should have been disclosed to avoid any appearance of conflict and expressed remorse for not doing so sooner.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2023, Nuzzi wrote a profile piece titled &#8220;The Mind-Bending Politics of RFK Jr.&#8217;s Spoiler Campaign,&#8221; but has not covered him directly since then.
