JFK Jr. was the definition of reckless. He and his wife and her sister died because he was so entitled and reckless.

Yes, Jackie couldn't eradicate that Kennedy part. What could she have done?


From her side too. Black Jack Bouvier was a cad


They all cheated a lot. Her parents, JFK, Jackie, JFK Jr., Carolyn Bessette, etc.


Jackie also married her sister’s ex boyfriend (Aristotle) much to her angst.

It was karma as her sister had a one-time fling with JFK while Jackie sat downstairs while the two of them had their romp in the hay upstairs .


These people were truly trashy.


Lee was a massive beyotch. Hard to know how Anthony turned out okay.

Are you "discovering" the Kennedy's for the first time because of the Love Story show?

For those of us a certain age (I'm 50) Jackie, JFK Jr, Carolyn, to a much lesser extent Caroline were tabloid staples during my formative years in the 80s and 90s.

I grew up with all the books coming out on them, People magazine articles, tabloid stories, etc.

The intense interest died down after the plane crash and really died down after Teddy died.

Guess a whole new generation is discovering them now?


I was just thinking about Caroline today and why she got/gets so much less attention than her brother. I think the fact that she is kinda plain looking and not very glamorous kept the paparazzi away. She's likely quite grateful for that.


Her brother dated celebrities (Daryl Hannah was huge after Splash) and also did things like try to launch a magazine focused on celebs. He chased the celebrity life.


If he were alive today, he would no doubt be somehow involved in a streaming series and in podcasting and social media. He very much did things that put him in front of the public, while his sister did not.


He'd have a Netflix and Spotify deal that result in a bunch of cancelled shows/podcasts with disappointing views, like Harry and Meghan.


I always thought he's end up a lot like Anderson Cooper


I think Anderson is a lot sharper than JFK Jr.

“George” was a great magazine focused on more than celebrities.

You mean her success at golddigging and seducing her dead husband's brother do not cancel out the fact she raised a reckless narcissist who killed his wife and sister-in-law?

I mean, that's just a quote...has little bearing on what she actually did.

Shows what you know bout the Kennedy’s.

John John has talked about the salute. He says he really didn’t know it was his dad’s coffin. The was just always taught to salute the flag.


And if you don't think that's effed up, I don't know how to help you


I think it’s wonderful his father taught him to respect our flag. You’re the one who needs help.


+1 he was so little, had no concept of his father's death or what a coffin meant.
