Jennifer Siebel Newsom has opened up about the death of her older sister in Hawaii and revealed that she accidentally ran her over with a golf buggy.
Governor Gavin Newsom's wife admitted that days before her seventh birthday, she had been playing on the carts with several other children, including her sister Stacia, in Hawaii in 1981.
The second-eldest of five daughters, Siebel Newsom, 48, had been on a family vacation when the cart reversed and killed her sibling who she hadn't seen hiding behind her buggy.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, she wrapped her arms around herself as she told the story, expanding that she felt the need to push herself in all aspects of her life to make up for her sister's death.
'I felt the pressure to be perfect, to make my parents forget, by being two daughters instead of one,' she said.
'I'm sure there was survivor's guilt, and I'm sure, in my subconscious, it's like I have to make up for that loss.
'And I have to do something to improve other people's lives or have an impact, double my own, which is a little crazy. I don't use the word 'crazy.' But you know, it's aspirational.
'I realized that I'm really hard on myself. I realized that you can't blame a 6- [or] 7-year-old. You can't ask them to understand things.'
She also opened up about having her case against disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein dismissed in 2022.
Jurors could not reach a verdict, meaning that the disgraced movie mogul has been facing the possibility of a retrial.
She claimed Weinstein sexually assaulted her during a 2005 meeting – telling her: 'Relax, this is going to make you feel better.'

Is this the beginning of Gavin Newsome’s presidential run?
That’s only the one we know about.
How many others are there?
>>Is this the beginning of Gavin Newsome’s presidential run?
Clearly...they just want to get some the skeletons out of the closet before he announces.
“That’s only the one we know about.”
Good point. Seems their evil knows no bounds.
You know, as someone who rejects Gavin Newsom and all his works and all his empty promises... and was a critic of Jen Siebel Newsom when her casting-couch tales of Harvey Weinstein surfaced, even I’ve got to say that this story is heart-breaking. It musth have been a tremendous burden for a child to carry the weight of culpability for a sibling’s death. Tragic.
Please, everyone, it’s between Newsom and Michelle Obama.
Biden will not be present by then.
With Robert Kennedy Jr. the wild card.
I would like to explore the idea of Ted Cruz for President if Donald Trump is also not present (May God protect him).
Wow. I’m sure she’ll get the same treatment as Mitt Romney and the dog on the car roof
Probably. Get all the worst skeletons out and rewrite the story so that there is a sympathetic interpretation. They become untouchable when the news hits widespread as to what really happened.
It compels them to detach from reality and escape into the fictional belief system of politics.
She married a Crawley, so it’s kind of to be expected.
Why does she bring it up? Total political move. No sympathy for her for that.
That dog story was weird, and of course, the terrified exposed dog vomited and defecated over the car.
Caddyshack scene: if you want to be fired, it you want to be replaced by golf carts just keep it up.
Monarch.
Timing would suggest so, get the bad news out before the announcement.
Sorry, the victim card has been played prior to
this admission of guilt. We would prefer to hear
Newsom rather than his wife; or will she be co-President
as the Pantsuit aspired to be.
Any guilt on killing California let me know.
That remark about Bush is really quite tendentious.
These are tragic events that can happen to ANYBODY. Be glad you didn’t make a mistake like this today, and pray that you don’t make one tomorrow.
