Olivia Nuzzi dubbed ‘shameless’ and ‘liar’ by ex Ryan Lizza

In the wake of Nuzzi’s digital affair with the Kennedy scion and her restraining order in opposition to him, Lizza claimed in his rebuttal final month that the ex-New York Magazine author had entered a “poisonous,” “unhealthy,” “silly,” “psychotic,” “loopy,” “indefensible” relationship with “intercourse addict” Kennedy, who advised her he wished to “possess,” “management,” and “impregnate” her,” per Daily Beast.

But final week, Nuzzi withdrew the protecting order she filed in opposition to Lizza as she had “little interest in preventing a public relations battle,” in line with her lawyer. The lawyer additional claimed that Nuzzi had “concluded she is going to garner the best safety by disengaging from this course of,” including that she fears for her “bodily security and well-being.”

Lizza fumed at these claims, claiming that Nuzzi “shamelessly [used] litigation with false and defamatory allegations as a public relations technique.” “On the eve of a [court hearing to make the order permanent] at which she knew her lies can be uncovered, she has taken the one course out there to her and withdrawn her fabricated claims,” the Politico author added.

“Olivia lied to me for nearly a yr. She lied to her editors. She lied to her readers. She lied to her colleagues. She lied to reporters. And she lied to the choose on this case. I mentioned I might defend myself in opposition to her lies vigorously and efficiently, and I’m absolutely ready to take action. But for now, I’m happy this matter is closed,” Lizza concluded.
