Keith Olbermann suggests he dodged a bullet as he gloats over ex-girlfriend Olivia Nuzzi’s latest scandals

Lefty commentator Keith Olbermann celebrated dodging bullets by no longer being with disgraced ex-New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi.

The former MSNBC host made fun of his ex’s complicated love life, soon after he was called out for having dated Nuzzi more than a decade ago, when she was just 21 and he was 55.

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

“Ryan Lizza appears to be accusing Olivia Nuzzi of an affair with Mark Sanford when she was covering HIM in 2020?” Olbermann posted on X, referring to claims by another of Nuzzi’s ex-fiancés, fellow journalist Lizza.

He quickly followed it with a meme comparing himself to Keanu Reeves’ character in “The Matrix” avoiding gunfire.

“This is me,” he wrote.

The meme equally reflected his attempts at dodging the latest claims about his own time with the much younger writer.

Lizza alleged Olbermann had acted as her sugar daddy by paying her college tuition, fitting her out in Tom Ford and Hervé Léger dresses, and $15,000 in Cartier jewelry.

“While Keith, who was 34 years older, was generous, there were strings attached,” Lizza wrote.

“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.”

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

Nuzzi’s career imploded when news of her tryst with Kennedy emerged, and Lizza quickly ended their engagement.

He published the newsletter post — titled “Part 1: How I Found Out” — on Monday, soon after excerpts of Nuzzi’s memoir started getting published.
