The odds that she doesn't actually write for Vanity Fair is pretty high.

Scoop: As questions swirl around Olivia Nuzzi, I’ve learned she’s been relatively absent in the day-to-day at Vanity Fair, as the magazine continues to weather the storm the controversial hire brought through 1 World Trade Center

that said, an interesting thing I've seen multiple times is a grifter being exposed by regional media in the 1970s or 1980s and simply moving elsewhere in the country, because if you lived in, say, California there was very little chance you would stumble on an expose from Texas.
