Famed New York raconteur Fran Lebowitz once said, “Los Angeles is a large city-like area surrounding the Beverly Hills Hotel.” Perhaps today it would be West Hollywood’s San Vicente Bungalows.

Former New York mag writer Olivia Nuzzi was spotted at Los Angeles’ most exclusive private club last week at a small party — and again at a dinner with friends another night.

We’ve previously reported that the political writer has been in LA in the aftermath of her alleged Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sexting scandal, and the breakup of her engagement to fellow journo Ryan Lizza.

RFK Jr. meanwhile has been hobnobbing with President-elect Donald Trump as his pick to head the Department of Health and Human Services.

Celebrating nearby Nuzzi at the club, perhaps ironically, was the creative team behind the Cannes Film Festival feature “The Apprentice,” starring Sebastian Stan as the Donald.

(The film was so controversial that Trump previously sent a cease and desist to filmmakers when they were shopping the movie about his early career. But the movie that also stars Jeremy Strong is in current release.)

Nuzzi, 31, exited New York magazine in October after nearly eight years amid the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. scandal.

RFK Jr., who is married to Cheryl Hines, has denied the digital dalliance.

Nuzzi has stayed out of the public eye, but Page Six exclusively reported that she was spotted at another event in LA by high-end fashion brand Argent last month, alongside guests including “Fantastic Four” star Kate Mara and “Selma” director Ava DuVernay.

A source told us at the time of Nuzzi: “She is mostly laying low and was in a safe place. LA is a place for reinventing yourself.”

RFK Jr. was seen last week at Trump’s private club Mar-a-Lago at a gala with his wife, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star Cheryl Hines, as well as Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle and Tucker Carlson.

Sylvester Stallone introduced Trump, 78, at the gala, and guests also included Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz.

Kennedy, 70, was also spotted on Trump Force One sheepishly posing with a McDonald’s Big Mac and a Coke — which would  seemingly be at odds with the former presidential candidate’s crusade to overhaul the American food system and public health.

Nuzzi wrote a profile on the Kennedy scion — who endorsed Trump after dropping out of the race himself — that was published in November 2023. Sometime after that, the two began an alleged fling.

An insider told Page Six that the alleged secret lovers had “incredible” FaceTime sex — and even said they loved each other.

Via his rep, however, the son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, denied the romance and told The Post he’d only met Nuzzi “once in his life for an interview she requested.”

A Nuzzi rep did not comment.
