Despite suspending his presidential campaign, stories about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s personal life persist. The latest anecdote, shared by his daughter Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy in a 2012 interview with Town & Country Magazine, recounts a peculiar incident involving a dead whale carcass.
According to Kick Kennedy, Kennedy used a chainsaw to remove the head of a whale that had washed up near their family home in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. He then transported the whale's head on the roof of their minivan back to their New York residence. The journey was described as unpleasant, with whale juice seeping into the vehicle and passersby reacting negatively.
Recently, tabloid reports have linked Kick Kennedy romantically with actor Ben Affleck, bringing further attention to the family.
Kennedy's decision to suspend his independent White House bid and endorse former President Donald Trump came after failing to gain traction against Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. His campaign faced challenges due to reports about his personal life that garnered national media coverage.
In one incident, Kennedy revealed a health issue caused by a parasitic worm entering his brain in 2010. Subsequently, Vanity Fair published an article featuring allegations of sexual assault by a former part-time babysitter. Additionally, a controversial photo implying Kennedy eating a dog was circulated. Another bizarre revelation was Kennedy's admission of placing a bear carcass in New York's Central Park in 2014, which attracted international attention.
These revelations have added layers to the public's perception of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., extending beyond his political aspirations.
