Vanity Fair is reportedly poised to run an “abstract nude portrait” of its new West Coast editor, scandal-plagued Olivia Nuzzi, even as internal tensions over her performance are starting to mount. The artwork, by Isabelle Brourman, was apparently commissioned months before the controversy involving Nuzzi resurfaced. The former New York magazine star reporter is facing renewed scrutiny after her ex-fiancé, Ryan Lizza, published allegations she had an affair with former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, in addition to her alleged digital tryst with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Staffers at Vanity Fair have reportedly said that amid the renewed publicity, Nuzzi has repeatedly missed meetings and failed to deliver on key assignments. Since the new allegations about Sanford broke, the publication has launched a review of her conduct. “We were taken by surprise,” a spokesperson for the magazine said, adding: “We are looking at all the facts.”
