Politico's Chief Washington correspondent Ryan Rizza is on leave after his ex-fiancée, Olivia Nuzzi, filed a lawsuit in court alleging intimidation and harassment.
Just when you thought this story couldn't get any better…
It all started when Nuzzi himself was placed on leave by the government earlier this month. new york magazinewhere she was considered their star reporter. Everything came crashing down when it was discovered that she had been reporting on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while pursuing a personal relationship with him.
Various sources say that after the interview with Kennedy, who is married to actress Cheryl Hines, Nuzzi cheated on him during the phone call. Kennedy responded by blocking her number. Through various tricks, she was able to convince him to unblock her from time to time. Sources say she sent him sexy photos of herself. someone leaked this information new york magazine. Nuzzi was placed on leave. Liza announced that Nuzzi was now her ex-fiancé. Kennedy is now considering suing her.
But now, Now, NOW(!) things are even juicier…
In a court filing, Nuzzi said: say Riza “expressly threatened to release my personal information in order to destroy my life, career, and reputation, and he has since carried out this threat.”
Nuzzi also claims that “Riza stole personal electronic devices from her, hacked those devices, and anonymously sold information about her to the media.” She added that some of this information may have been “manufactured” by Riza to make it look worse than it really is. She also believes Riza impersonated an “anonymous campaign worker” to damage her reputation in a political campaign.
According to court documents, Nuzzi believes Rizza was the one who told her employer about her relationship with Kennedy. She also claimed that he “threatened her with violence to force her to assume financial responsibility for a joint book deal they had entered into.”
According to her, it was all about blackmailing her not to break up with him.
For now, the judge granted Nuzzi's request to be prohibited from contacting Riza. A trial date is set for October.
So, as far as I can see, Nuzzi (31) is trying to blame Riza for the collapse of his career, but Riza (50), who denies all allegations, is either innocent or has been murdered by a femme fatale to get his career back. Either they are used as a means of transportation.
In any case, who cares? They're both terrible people, left-wing propaganda activists, and your mind must be made of kryptonite if you don't find every turn of this story truly enjoyable.
And don't forget, this isn't the first time Riza has been accused of cheating. Back in 2017, new yorker He was fired on suspicion of sexual misconduct. A year later, he was arrested for stalking and harassing the parents of a then-Congressman. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.).
For some reason bad guys always land on their feet.
