Keith Olbermann suggests he dodged a bullet after ex Olivia Nuzzi became embroiled in affair allegations

Lizza published his salacious claims on Substack, evoking Olbermann when writing that he was "used to cleaning up" Nuzzi's messes.

"Later, he covered her rent and furnished her apartment in a doorman building in the West Village. While Keith, who was 34 years older, was generous, there were strings attached," Lizza continued. "Olivia had concealed the relationship from me and other friends, but one day she told me everything - too much, actually - and together we hatched a plan for her escape."

Olbermann responded on X, sharing Lizza's story and writing, "This is me," alongside a gif of Keanu Reeves' character in "The Matrix" dodging bullets. 

"Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days 4 Xmases 4 anniversaries) That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her Gift Certificates from Kmart?" Olbermann wrote. 

Olbermann also appeared to take a jab at Lizza's writing style, posting, "Lost in the Nuzzi avalanche is the fact that every criticism of that excerpt is better written than it is."

In September, Vanity Fair announced it had hired Nuzzi as the magazine's West Coast editor. Her upcoming book, "American Canto," explores what she described as the "love" she had for Kennedy.

A spokesperson for Kennedy previously denied any physical relationship occurred, saying he had only met Nuzzi once. Nuzzi has maintained she never had a physical relationship with Kennedy but did engage in "personal" communications. Kennedy is married to actress Cheryl Hines.

As the scandal unfolded last year, Politico placed Lizza on leave after Nuzzi accused him of blackmail and harassment. She later withdrew a protective order against him. Lizza eventually returned to Politico in a diminished role before launching a Substack publication called Telos.
