The Deal with Trump, Raccoon Genitals, and Demons of Lust. Scandalous Diaries of John F. Kennedy Jr. Published in the U.S. 0 12

It is claimed that the scandalous book is based on the personal diaries of the hero. The authenticity of the documents and facts is not officially confirmed, but no one is in a hurry to sue the publisher. Americans are discussing in every way who is responsible for Trump’s return to the White House.

A biography of John F. Kennedy's nephew, "RFK Jr.: The Fall and Rise," has gone on sale in the U.S. It has a total of 304 pages, and the audio version runs for nine and a half hours. The author, investigative journalist Isabel Vincent from the New York Post, claims to have obtained the personal diaries of her subject. She has brought to light details that the Kennedy family would prefer to remain unknown.

Who is Robert Kennedy Jr.

The nephew of the assassinated President John F. Kennedy and the son of the assassinated Senator Robert F. Kennedy is the black sheep in America’s "royal family."

For decades, he was an eco-advocate, then he became famous as the leading voice of the anti-vaccine movement and a staunch supporter of conspiracy theories. Later, he completely broke away from the Democratic traditions of his influential family and shifted his allegiance to Donald Trump, who offered the vaccine opponent the position of Secretary of Health.

Why does Trump want such a character on board? Nothing personal, just business. During the 2024 presidential campaign, Kennedy Jr. ran for the top post in the country as an independent candidate. He began to draw votes that Trump was counting on. Then a miracle happened — Kennedy withdrew his candidacy, supported his competitor, and became part of his team. The ministerial post thus became a payment for loyalty and a refusal of an independent campaign that could have split the right-wing electorate.

Kennedy brought an entire political movement under Trump’s banner — "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA). It consisted of anti-vaxxers, libertarians, independent voters, and young suburban mothers. Many of them, prompted by Kennedy, voted for Republicans for the first time in their lives instead of Democrats.

Where the Facts for the Scandalous Book Came From

Kennedy Jr. documented them himself, says the book's author, as the source of the scandalous revelations is his personal diaries from 1999 to 2001. Here’s how they became public.

In 1994, Robert Kennedy Jr. married Mary Richardson, who was already six months pregnant at the time. Mary, born into a family of a professor at the Institute of Technology and a schoolteacher, entered a fashionable boarding school at 15, where she became close friends with the daughter of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Since then, Richardson had a goal in life — to become part of this family.

During their marriage, the couple had four children. However, by 2010, the marriage had cracked: Kennedy filed for divorce from his mother of many children right on Mother’s Day. The court proceedings became a feast for tabloids — with battles over money, custody of the children, and accusations of infidelity against the husband and alcoholism against the wife.

It was during this period that Mary appropriated Kennedy Jr.'s diaries. According to Vincent, "she viewed them as a kind of leverage" and personal "insurance." For a woman who did not want a divorce and desperately feared losing her status as "Mrs. Kennedy," the diaries became her only weapon in the fight against the powerful dynasty.

But Mary did not intend to publish the entries during her lifetime. As sources told Vincent, she read them over and over, trying to convince herself that she had been married for almost 20 years to a "chronic womanizer." Her husband led a double life.

How Kennedy's Diaries Ended Up with the Journalist

On May 16, 2012, Mary Richardson was found with a rope around her neck in a barn on the family estate in Bedford, New York. She was 52 years old.

A few weeks before her death, Mary handed the diaries to a close friend, whom Vincent described as someone who "knew the family well." In 2013, Isabel Vincent took on the material about Richardson's death for the New York Post. One day, she received an invitation to meet at a restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

At the appointed time, a regular plastic shopping bag lay on her chair in the restaurant. Inside were the very diaries.

"I think this will interest you," the source, whose name Vincent still does not disclose, told her.

After examining the gift, Vincent called Robert Kennedy Jr. himself. According to her, the conversation was short and devoid of warmth.

"I told him, 'I saw your diaries and would like to ask you about these women.' There was silence. He replied, 'You couldn’t have seen them.' I said, 'I did.' Then he said, 'I’m calling my lawyer.'"

And then — silence, no lawsuits, no official denials.

Kennedy himself acknowledged the existence of the diaries in a 2023 interview, calling them "my own way of trying to live and explore life" during his 43 years in rehabilitation programs. The nephew of the legendary U.S. president has tried every known banned substance to American marginal figures and got his own brother addicted, who died from an overdose.

And what was he missing?

Using the diaries, Vincent revealed the dirtiest secrets of the man who today is responsible for the sanitary policy of the U.S.

He detailed his sex life, assigning women scores on his own "pleasure scale" from 1 to 10, where 10 is sexual intercourse. Kennedy, raised in Catholic traditions, referred to his inclinations as "demons of lust." The diaries mention the names of 37 women, which Vincent preferred not to publish.

But some have made their voices heard. In 2024, former Kennedy nanny Eliza Clooney accused him of unacceptable sexual harassment that occurred back in 1998. Kennedy then awkwardly sidestepped the topic, stating that he had "many skeletons in the closet." Journalist Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire book about her sexual correspondence with Kennedy Jr. during the 2024 presidential campaign. The subject's press secretary then explained that Kennedy and Nuzzi had only met once.

"I have everything one could dream of: a beautiful wife, children, a loving family, wealth, education, health, and a job I love. And yet I am constantly seeking what I cannot have to destroy everything. I want more!" Vincent quotes the secret diaries. There are also complaints about his wife: "Our bed is an inhospitable place. She hates it when I lie down with her and never has sex at night. She rarely talks to me about anything other than the schedule."

What’s the Story with the Dead Raccoon’s Penis

The main character of Kennedy Jr.'s biography is not women, but a dead raccoon. In one of the entries from November 11, 2001, which the book's author quotes, he describes a scene that began to be retold in every way on social media:

"I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684, cutting off the penis of a raccoon I hit on the road, and thinking about how strange some members of my family turned out to be. My children were patiently waiting in the car."

Kennedy had an entire "freezer full of dead animals"; he confessed to journalists two years ago that he had picked up dead animals from the sides of the roads all his life. Allegedly, he dreamed of becoming a veterinarian in childhood and had a purely scientific interest in animal corpses. But only the story with the raccoon’s penis became the final proof for the American public that their Secretary of Health is, to put it mildly, a strange character. Moreover, he later admitted that he sawed the head off a whale with a chainsaw, tossed a dead bear cub in Central Park, and blended chicks and mice in a blender to feed pet hawks.

Reaction: Silence and Laughter

Fragments of the book were read on CNN by host Dana Bash, and her guest, journalist Manu Raju, could not even comment, choking with laughter. Correspondents caught Kennedy in the hallways of the Capitol and asked, "Mr. Secretary, what did you do with the raccoon’s penis? Where is it now?" In response, Kennedy just smiled and walked away silently.

The Kennedy clan still maintains a heavy silence. However, the current wife of the scandal's hero, actress Cheryl Hines, denied only one of the relatively harmless details of the book — that Kennedy's daughter Kira allegedly moved in with her while Mary was still alive.

The Office of the Secretary of Health does not confirm the authenticity of the diaries.

Robert Kennedy Jr. himself officially does not comment on the content of the biography, continuing to smile meaningfully in response to all inquiries.
