She took total advantage of her role and helped usher this nut job into his current position and she appears to feel that the public outrage is unfair? And the absolute gal to call someone else out for violating "journalistic ethics." She's gross and should never be trusted.

He was never going to sleep with her. She was just his unscrupulous toadie hack reporter; a henchwoman working for free.

He also published a part 3 (also behind a paywall) and part 4 is coming out tonight.
I can't imagine that Vanity Fair wouldn't fire Olivia after this. Sleeping with several of the men you're writing profiles about is very bad, but feeding them non-public info to help their political careers breaks every principle of journalism (of which she had very few, it seems).

One night in early August 2024, before I knew anything, Olivia Nuzzi became obsessed with obtaining an advance copy of an article that The New Yorker was set to publish the following day. Olivia was desperate to get a preview of a profile of Bobby Kennedy Jr. by Clare Malone, a political reporter whom Olivia viewed as a competitor.
The piece included a killer anecdote, one of the most memorable of the presidential campaign, and which would come to define Bobby’s image for much of the public: A decade earlier, he had left the carcass of a black-bear cub in Central Park as some kind of twisted prank.
This was precisely the sort of story that Olivia relished, a Twin Peaks-like tale that illuminated the darker parts of a candidate’s mind. Olivia had written one of the earliest profiles of Bobby, so I figured her fixation on getting The New Yorker piece was also about professional jealousy. Bobby was her subject. Now she had missed a major scoop about the candidate whom, behind the scenes and without much explanation, she insisted would be the next president.
What I didn’t know at the time was that she was secretly working to help make Bobby the next president.
