The screenshot of the post read: "Why does Hollywood think female reporters sleep with their sources?"

One X user replied, "There's always a tweet," and a second person agreed, "Truly, Twitter is undefeated. Even tells on its buyers."

A third user replied that it was a "self-fulfilled prophecy," while another joked, "The SNL skits just keep writing themselves."

As OK! previously reported, on Thursday, September 19, Nuzzi "acknowledged to the magazine’s editors that she had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign, a violation of the magazine’s standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures."

"Had the magazine been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign," the statement continued. "An internal review of her published work has found no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias. She is currently on leave from the magazine, and the magazine is conducting a more thorough third-party review. We regret this violation of our readers’ trust."

However, the following day, Kennedy Jr. firmly denied the rumors, claiming he "only met Olivia Nuzzi once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece."

The 70-year-old politician has been married to actress Cheryl Hines since 2014.

Nuzzi later told the New York Times the relationship began when "some communication between myself and a former reporting subject turned personal" earlier this year.

"During that time, I did not directly report on the subject nor use them as a source," she added. "The relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict. I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I've disappointed, especially my colleagues at New York."
