A judge on Tuesday granted a protective order to Olivia Nuzzi, the political writer sidelined due to her ties to fringe presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who accused an ex-fiancé of harassing and blackmailing her.

New York magazine writer Olivia Nuzzi is publicly accusing her ex-fiancé Ryan Lizza, a prominent political journalist with Politico, of orchestrating a harassment and blackmail campaign against her after their split and while Nuzzi had a personal relationship with Robert F.

Last month, the 70-year-old politician was allegedly caught having an affair with New York Magazine journalist Olivia Nuzzi, who is nearly 40 years his junior.
