Marianne, you are helping to keep me sane and grounded. I am so grateful for who you are and your expression of truth. Between you and Heather Cox, I hold the boarder perspective, the truth. Forever grateful 💕
Olivia's only crime was finding RFKJr. attractive. For that, she may need therapy. But the treatment she has received is ridiculous. Thank you for calling it out.
Good GOD. TY! It is all so disgusting. The only thing that keeps me afloat is the sacred LIGHT. It gives me such hope. WHEN I remember that, the darkness (currently in power) lifts as it too shall pass. Meanwhile, people are beginning to wake UP.
Oh, projection that masks itself as rejection. Yes, mostly women who defy gravity, but also people who buck the system, in general-the independent-minded homeless, the border crossers who don't check all the boxes and those who are, horror of horrors, INSUBORDINATE irritate the very people who, as you say, got where they are by violating a good many moral laws.
First, I've heard more than one person say that Olivia Nuzzi is an exceptional writer. I haven't heard a single person other than you say that they thought this book was excellent.
Second, having read your essay, I'm willing to give her book a chance.
But I will say that RFK2 it's not a singular event in her life. She has done this with other prominent men, with definite journalistic consequences. She didn't just sleep with a prominent man. She was paid to follow him and report on him as he was pursuing the American Presidency. The things that these journalists write become fuel for people to make decisions about who to elect to consequential offices.
So, as a journalist she catastrophically failed at her assignment. But I don't think she was lacking a moral center. I actually think that Olivia Nuzzi may suffer from an addictive disorder. Elizabeth Gilbert has it too.
I wish both of them well. I will wait to read American Canto, because the story is still fresh and I'm still sorting out everything I hear. But I will give it a chance. Someday.
And I think the way Ryan Lizzo is trying to monetize his portion of this pue is beyond shameful. The jury has yet to cast its vote on this shattered love story, and all the shattered love stories that feature Olivia Nuzzi.
Happy Solstice to you, Marianne.
And yes, I consider you an exceptional writer too. I hope it's true about her as well.
WOW, Marianne... huge respect for your solidarity with someone being the target of misogyny. I had not heard anything about this yet, and now am very interested in reading Oliva Nuzzi's book.
Of all the people deserving shame and exposure, she wouldn't even come close to making the list of any sane person these days. There are so many greedy, grabby, amoral creeps who casually do much more harm, murdering people, kidnapping them, and who broke more actual ethical rules than someone who had an affair. Probably half the accusers align with that old saying that when you point the finger at someone, there are more fingers pointing back at you. It was nobody else's business. Being engaged means she was poised to take vows, but has not taken them yet. That's between them. It also didn't mean she couldn't separate her work from her personal life either and do a good job covering the campaign. Any reporter covering any campaign is going to have their own bias, leaning towards or against that particular candidate.
Brava, Marianne. Brava.

Damn autocorrect 😆
Remember when you talked about the “dark and sinister forces“ in the 2020 race? And they all laughed? Who’s laughing now?

thank u for speaking up.
rfk Jr has got to go.
The Divine Masculine welcomes the Divine Feminine.
Toxic masculinity cowers in fear.
You are so precise and real. TY!

Too many men have such fragile egos they feel it necessary to demean women for any imagined slight.
Well said. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
You’re a wonderful writer, Marianne,
but you forgot to proofread this article!
read the current edit please?
Couple of things, having read your essay.

Portion of *pie

Powerful words and now
I am going to buy Olivia’s book.

People deserving shame and exposure.
My oh my. Who among who would be first on that list (cough 45/47 cough)
That said, Nuzzi was completely compromised. She just *was.
Not necessarily.
