Keith Olbermann<\/a> has implied he dodged a bullet by no longer being in a relationship with ex-New York Magazine<\/em> reporter Olivia Nuzzi<\/a>, who was at the center of the Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/a> \u201csexting\u201d scandal last year.<\/p>\n The former MSNBC<\/a> host took to X on Monday (November 17) to react to new claims by Nuzzi\u2019s ex-fiance, Ryan Lizza, who alleged that Nuzzi had an affair with former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford in 2020. Lizza claimed that he found love notes written by Nuzzi to Sanford.<\/p>\n \u201cMy heart stopped when I realized who he was,\u201d Lizza wrote on his Telos News newsletter<\/a>. \u201cHe was a famous politician, 32 years older than Olivia, and well-known for a sex scandal. But more importantly, he was a presidential candidate, a source, and the subject of Olivia\u2019s recent profile for New York.\u201d<\/p>\n Olbermann reacted to the bombshell report on X, writing, \u201cRyan Lizza appears to be accusing Olivia Nuzzi of an affair with Mark Sanford when she was covering HIM in 2020?\u201d<\/p>\n He then shared an image of Keanu Reeves<\/a>\u2018 character dodging bullets in The Matrix<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThis is me,\u201d he wrote alongside the pic.<\/p>\n Olbermann and Nuzzi dated over a decade ago, when she was 21 and he was 55. Lizza addressed Olbermann\u2019s \u201cunusual relationship\u201d with Nuzzi in his newsletter, alleging that the news anchor acted as a sugar daddy, buying Nuzzi expensive gifts and paying her college tuition.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile Keith, who was 34 years older, was generous, there were strings attached,\u201d Lizza wrote. \u201cOlivia had concealed the relationship from me and other friends, but one day she told me everything \u2014 too much, actually \u2014 and together we hatched a plan for her escape.\u201d<\/p>\n Olbermann has not yet addressed the sugar daddy claims or commented further on his past relationship with Nuzzi. However, he did respond to one X user who said he had \u201cthe absolute worst taste in women.\u201d<\/p>\n
