Even on the Kennedy Scale, Robert F. Kennedy Jr's sexual dalliances are legendary — as in the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the Legend of Legend of Hell House, or the Legend of Chupacabra. It's all awful and somebody ends up dead.
Kennedy's father, Bobby, and uncles, Jack and Ted, were also notorious lechers.
Cruel comparisons were drawn — sometimes by Democrats — between Bill Clinton's conquests like Paula Jones and Marylin Monroe. Monroe was rumored to have been passed around between JFK and RFK, perhaps contributing to her untimely death by a barbiturate overdose in 1962.
RFK is believed to have had affairs with multiple women including, if the rumors are true, Lee Remick and Kim Novak. "Bobby Kennedy came from a family where marital infidelity was not necessarily a virtue, and wasn’t practiced a whole lot," Larry Tye, author of "Bobby Kennedy: The Making of A Liberal Icon," told People magazine in 2016.
And that's the Kennedy Tye described as being "probably the most puritanical and probably the most sanctimonious of Joe Kennedy’s boys."
Sheesh.
The dark joke, oft-told about Ted Kennedy was that he was called the "Lion of the Senate" because "he mates and kills at will." If I had to guess, based on his lifelong love of Mary Jo Kopechne jokes — no, I'm not kidding — Ted probably told that "Lion of the Senate" joke himself on occasion.

Many people might have forgotten or overlooked this story from the New York Post about 12 years ago:
https://nypost.com/2012/05/17/rfk-jr-s-wife-hangs-herself/
HEADLINE: RFK Jr.’s wife hangs herself
EXCERPT:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s estranged wife, Mary, who battled her husband’s rumored philandering by turning to alcohol and prescription drugs, hanged herself in a barn on their Westchester estate yesterday, sources told The Post.
The 52-year-old mother of four — the latest victim of a family dynasty cursed with tragedies — may have taken her own life because she was haunted by her broken marriage, her friends lamented.
[ END EXCERPT]
Mary Kennedy had previously found RFK Jr’s secret diary detailing dozens of his affairs.
If a wife driven first to booze and pills and then to suicide isn’t enough to take down a presidential candidate — and I’m aware that these days that maybe it isn’t — then I’m not sure what would anymore.
What I’m forced to wonder though is, if Kennedy’s candidacy is such a threat to Presidentish Joe Biden’s reelection, why they haven’t brought out the big gun against him.
Theories?
To be fair I think it would be impossible to resist Lee Remick or Kim Novak in their prime. Both are unequivocally Not Guilty.
This article is stupid. All the things about his relatives are irrelevant. He has plenty of skeletons in his own closet.
Someone shoot the Dems’ wad for them too early to make this old news way before November?
RE: All the things about his relatives are irrelevant.
Doesn’t that make Stormy Daniels irrelevant as well? Yet, the Dems are making it a legal issue.
That’s already fully public.
IMO what they are more likely to have on him is some sort of deal from his drug days.
Of course, the wife supposedly committing suicide and the Kennedy shenanigan’s with her burial afterwards isn’t pretty either.
But the only thing I imagine could have got the threat of prison is his drug stuff.
I thought she claimed she had an affair with him, not his father.
Ah, the leading Dims may actually like RFK and don’t care about his ruinous philandering, but know/knew those truths would ruin his candidacy in the general election. So what do the leading Dims do? They just try to ignore him, less they have to admit what theyve known all along and never challenged him about. How can they, they defended BJ Clinton forever.
RE: But the only thing I imagine could have got the threat of prison is his drug stuff.
Not gonna happen. Not unless Hunter goes to prison as well.
Trump does better with RFKJR on the ballot. Leave it to Republicans to trash him and hurt Trump.
While not supporting their kin politically, maybe the Kennedy clan doesn’t want their family name dragged through the mud again. And they probably know where a few bodies are buried. Not to mention the parallels with Hunter being awkward.
Beyond what you wrote, it’s pretty certain that Jr. actively goaded her into offing herself.
with a voice like his, he sure didn’t sweet talk his conquests
Just looking at the level of dirt they may have and be using to control him.
More illicit sex stuff than we realize could also be involved.
I dunno - maybe because nobody cares who his dad was boinking sixty years ag?
Kennedy being in there hurts Biden more than Trump so let him run.
“Bobby Kennedy came from a family where marital infidelity was not necessarily a virtue, and wasn’t practiced a whole lot,”
Trying to make sense of this. Surely the author meant fidelity.
“ If a wife driven first to booze and pills and then to suicide isn’t enough to take down a presidential candidate — and I’m aware that these days that maybe it isn’t — then I’m not sure what would anymore.”
Sorry but you are at least 4 decades out of date. Kennedy didn’t kill his wife, and while her broken marriage may have contributed to the depression that lead her to suicide in the end she committed the act, and unless he somehow actively encouraged her to do it, trying to claim he’s the cause of her actions is just disingenuous nonsense.
End of the day, she killed herself. Husband and wife’s are cheated on daily, and the suicide is not the normal end game for them.
Thing this would destroy Kennedy in this day and age is pretty silly.
