 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence. Police later said that after reviewing available evidence, including CCTV footage and digital devices, the investigation had concluded that “the evidential threshold had not been met” and no further action would be taken.

 Vanity Fair cuts ties with Olivia Nuzzi amid Robert F. Kennedy Jr. controversy

 Vanity Fair is ending its relationship with West Coast editor Olivia Nuzzi amid controversy over her past involvement with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while she was a Washington correspondent for New York magazine. A statement Friday from both Nuzzi and the publication said they “have mutually agreed, in the best interest of the magazine, to let her contract expire at the end of the year.” Nuzzi had joined Vanity Fair as West Coast editor in September.

Nuzzi, 32, gained prominence at New York magazine for her political profiles until 2024, when it was revealed she had a personal relationship with Kennedy, then a presidential candidate and now head of the Department of Health and Human Services. She was fired from New York magazine for failing to disclose the relationship. She later recounted the relationship and its fallout in her memoir, American Canto, which refers to Kennedy as “The Politician” and her ex-fiancé Ryan Lizza as “the man I did not marry.” The memoir’s release coincided with Lizza posting allegations on Substack, including claims that Nuzzi had an affair with another profile subject and had offered political advice to Kennedy—both considered off-limits for journalists. Lizza also published private text messages from Kennedy to Nuzzi that he had obtained.

Nuzzi dismissed Lizza’s posts as “fiction-slash-revenge porn” in a Substack interview. The announcement of her departure came shortly after the release of American Canto, which was poorly received by critics and ranked low on Amazon’s bestseller list. Critics described the memoir as lacking substance, with one calling it “a tell-nothing memoir.” Nuzzi responded to the difficult week with humor, publishing a Substack column titled “Signs Your Book Rollout Has Gone Awry,” which included quips such as “Monica Lewinsky reaches out to check on your mental health.”
