I mean, she has admitted to this. Several ex-girlfriends of his admitted to coming over that week at the Stanhope. This isn't a fabrication by People Magazine and Reddit.

He was a serial cheater, like all Kennedy men.


She admitted to going to the hotel but did she confirm they were sleeping together for the 12 months before he died? Because that’s the Reddit discussion.

Oh I've never seen confirmation that they were having a year-long affair, no. In fact I've never heard that rumor. But I've heard the rumor, and her confirm, that she went to the Stanhope the night before the plane crash.

And let's be honest, what reason do you have for going to your married ex-bf's hotel room other than sex?

Why did she go to the wedding with him if this is what was going on?

She didn't want to and he had his secretary call her up and hound her into going.

I was wondering the whole time what they were going to do with this and it was so low key that it almost seemed like he did it on purpose? WTF.

^^I mean the characterization of her. I doubt she had any sway with JFK jr. nor cared much about his life and who he married.

The Ethel character was so dumb. Why would a woman with 11 kids of her own and many many grandkids at that point, give an F about what her nephew, by marriage, does.

Ending was positively ghoulish. No wonder Caroline's son was so worked up about it.

The woman just lost a child to cancer and they make some dramatized ending of her younger brother's death?

Exactly. Watching a video? Lmao. And no way their monthly lunches were strictly platonic. I can't believe she sat on his lap right in front of his wife. What an a-hole.

I’m sad it’s over, I’ll miss this revisit to 90s nyc, and think it’s fine that the show romanticized their ending. it was made for entertainment, not to be a documentary, and as a love story leans in to the idea that they had chemistry and were drawn to each other even if they weren’t a practical match long term. I’d love to see Emmy nods for any of the actors playing Calvin and Kelly, Ethel, Ann, and Carolyn Bessette

I think those three actors are the ones who will get Emmy noms.

I thought the last episode made Carolyn look selfish/needy/demanding. The therapy seemed to be a wake up call, they had a night of great sex and the next day he’s happy and off to work while assuming they were in a better place and moving in the right direction and she pitches a fit like only a crazy woman would.

In real life he never came home that week and I believe his ex Julie Bush came over the night before the crash.


+1 It was such a ridiculous fabrication. I don't think either was quite ready to give up on the marriage though.
