Jackie onassis divorce
Explosive new biography reveals Jackie Kennedy was set to divorce JFK before assassination
Fed up with John F. Kennedy’s blatant philandering, she saw no other way out but to dump the Camelot prince, reveals explosive unauthorized biography “Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: A Life Beyond Her Wildest Dreams,” obtained by the Daily Mail
Jackie confided that Marilyn Monroe’s sexy serenade to the president at his 1962 Madison Square Garden birthday bash was the straw that broke her marriage’s back.
Since their honeymoon, JFK had kept a harem of honeys and an orgy pad at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington that fueled Jackie’s desire to split.
“I just can’t see myself spending the rest of my life with Jack Kennedy. It’s not going to happen,” she confessed to her mother as far back as 1956, the book claims.
Kennedy’s father, Joe, interceded to save the marriage as his son, then a Massachusetts senator, set his sights on the White House.
Jackie responded that it would cost him $20 million if her husband “brings home any venereal disease from any of his sluts,” claims the book, set to be released Saturday.
The meeting came after Jackie paid a surprise visit to the Senate Office Building in Washington and caught Kennedy at his desk receiving oral sex from an office temp named Peggy Ashe, the book claims.
“Because of my father, I was used to infidelities, but Jack’s womanizing hurt me greatly,” Jackie once confided to friend and abstract expressionist painter William Walton.
Kennedy’s infidelity literally drove his wife mad, claims the book.
One night when JFK returned home from a hotel romp with a mistress, he and Jackie got into an ugly fight that spilled into the street. Following the domestic blowup, Kennedy had his wife committed to the Valley Head Clinic in Carlisle, Mass., where she underwent three electroshock treatments.
“From the beginning of her relationship with Jack, she knew about his other women,” Paul Mathias, a former Paris-Match correspondent, is quoted in the book. “It pained her a great deal.”
The sensational biography also borrows from Jackie’s early diaries, in which she wrote about her first impressions of the Kennedy clan following a visit to their Cape Cod compound.
“Old Joe was the only one with table manners,” she wrote. “The rest of the Kennedys are like pigs. Teddy almost cried when he claimed that Bobby took more than his share of the mashed potatoes.”
She described Jack Kennedy as being “no Burt Lancaster.”
“He has a funny body, skinny, with toothpick legs. His best feature is his handsome face,” she wrote.
“Actually, Bobby seems to show more romantic interest in me than Jack does, and Teddy lusts after me like a lovesick puppy dog,” she wrote. “So far I have avoided being alone with Bobby. I think if I went out alone on a boat with him, he’d rape me.”
