Olivia Nuzzi

📍 Location

📝 Description

As of December 13, 2025, Olivia Nuzzi is not missing. The previously circulated missing-person narrative has been debunked by multiple outlets. Public reporting through late 2025 centers on her career developments and a highly publicized memoir rather than any disappearance. In 2024 she departed New York Magazine after disclosing a personal relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; she subsequently joined Vanity Fair as West Coast editor and had an excerpt from her memoir American Canto published there. In December 2025 Vanity Fair announced it would let her contract expire, amid ongoing controversy surrounding her disclosures and related coverage. American Canto, released December 2, 2025, drew wide attention and largely negative reviews, with early sales figures around 1,200 copies in the first week. The coverage focuses on journalistic ethics, personal disclosures, and RFK Jr.’s public responses, not on any verified missing-person incident.

🔍 Circumstances

No missing-person incident occurred. The events documented in late 2024–2025 relate to professional controversy, a personal relationship with RFK Jr., departure from NYMag, transition to Vanity Fair, and the publication and reception of the memoir American Canto.
