Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his strange stories with marine animals: whale, bear, and scandalous romance with Ben Affleck
27 august 2024 в 11:28
Whale, whale, whale, it seems that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has his own style.
Kick Kennedy, the daughter of RFK Jr., delighted Town & Country with a cover story in 2012, which has become relevant again amidst rumors of a possible romance with recently divorced Ben Affleck.
In an interview covering various topics, from her travels and budding acting career to her family heritage, the 36-year-old Kennedy shared an anecdote about a childhood trip to Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, where her father’s strange fascination with dead animals manifested through a gruesome story of beheading a whale.
Kick recalled that the day began when her father, now 70 years old, heard that a dead whale had washed up on the shores of Squaw Island in Massachusetts. Bobby, who is passionate about studying animal skulls and bones, rushed to the beach with a chainsaw. When he arrived, he cut off the whale’s head and tied it to the top of the minivan. He then drove the family five hours to Mount Kisco, New York, with the whale’s head tied to the roof.
The trip back to New York, unsurprisingly, was far from pleasant for Kick, who was 6 years old at the time.
«Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice poured into the car windows, and it was the smelliest thing in the world», - she recalled in the interview. «We all had plastic bags on our heads with cut-out holes for our mouths, and people on the highway were showing us the middle finger, but for us, it was just a normal thing».
This story came against the backdrop of his recent withdrawal from the presidential race, admitting to throwing a dead bear cub in Central Park in 2014, presenting it as a bicycle accident — a story he told Roseanne Barr in an attempt to preempt an unpleasant article in the New Yorker.
The politician said in a video on August 4 that ten years ago he saw a bear cub hit by a car and killed during a hunting trip in upstate New York.
«So I stopped and picked up the bear cub and put it in the back of my van because I was going to skin it. It was in very good condition, and I planned to put the meat in my refrigerator», - he said.
However, he claimed there was no time to stop at home between hunting, a dinner that dragged on, and the final destination at the airport.
Therefore, while at the Peter Luger Steak House restaurant with friends, they thought it would be a «good idea» to throw the dead bear cub in the park and «pretend it was hit by a bike».
«And we went and did it, and we thought it would be fun for whoever found it, or something like that»
