Lefty commentator Keith Olbermann<\/a> celebrated dodging bullets by no longer being with disgraced ex-New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi.<\/p>\n

The former MSNBC host made fun of his ex\u2019s complicated love life, soon after he was called a sugar daddy for his own time with Nuzzi more than a decade ago, when she was just 21 and he was 55.<\/p>\n

Olbermann, however, glossed over the claims about himself and instead focused on another bombshell allegation that Nuzzi had an affair<\/a> with former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford in 2020, years before her sexting scandal with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/p>\n

\u201cRyan Lizza appears to be accusing Olivia Nuzzi<\/a> of an affair with Mark Sanford when she was covering HIM in 2020?\u201d Olbermann posted on X, referring to claims by another of Nuzzi\u2019s ex-fianc\u00e9s, fellow journalist Lizza.<\/p>\n

He quickly followed it with a meme comparing himself to Keanu Reeves\u2019 character in \u201cThe Matrix,\u201d avoiding gunfire.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is me,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

The meme equally reflected his attempts at dodging the latest claims about his own time with the much-younger writer.<\/p>\n

Lizza alleged Olbermann had acted as her sugar daddy by paying her college tuition, fitting her out in Tom Ford and Herv\u00e9 L\u00e9ger dresses, and $15,000 in Cartier jewelry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Keith, who was 34 years older, was generous, there were strings attached,\u201d Lizza wrote.<\/p>\n

\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

Nuzzi has been in the spotlight ever since it emerged she is set to release a tell-all book<\/a> on her racy sexting affair with RFK Jr last year.<\/p>\n

Nuzzi\u2019s career imploded<\/a> when news of her tryst with Kennedy emerged, and Lizza quickly ended their engagement.<\/p>\n

He published the newsletter post \u2014 titled \u201cPart 1: How I Found Out\u201d \u2014 on Monday, soon after excerpts of Nuzzi\u2019s memoir started getting published.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lefty commentator Keith Olbermann celebrated dodging bullets by no longer being with disgraced ex-New York Magazine reporter Olivia…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43559,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[13240,25002,25003,9,11,10,58],"class_list":{"0":"post-43558","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-celebrity-dating","9":"tag-keith-olbermann","10":"tag-msnbc","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-headlines","13":"tag-new-york-news","14":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43558"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43558\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
