Shocking report makes shocking new accusations against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. allegedly had inappropriate contact with a 23-year-old Kennedy family babysitter when he was 45, according to an explosive new report from Vanity Fair.

According to the report released Tuesday, a then-23-year-old college graduate hired by the Kennedy family in 1998 to care for the family’s children in Hyannis Port revealed in her diary that Kennedy, who was married to Mary Richardson Kennedy at the time, grabbed her leg under the table during a family gathering one evening.

“From what everyone says about the Kennedys and their babysitters, they worried me,” she wrote.

“Like I had to be careful, be cautious. And the other night in the kitchen with Murray, I could have sworn he was touching my leg and my hand. I felt like he thought I was someone else or he wasn’t paying attention. Like he was coming to himself every now and then and getting over his emotions or I was drifting away. It was like he was on something or really tired or he missed Mary or he was testing me.”

The report also states that several weeks after the incident, she entered his bedroom and found Kennedy on his bed, shirtless, with his diary detailing his intimate life open, and asked him to apply lotion to her. She described the interaction as “totally inappropriate,” and then stopped writing about her encounters with Kennedy for fear that he would continue to read her diary.

The episode is one of several allegations detailed in the Vanity Fair article. Another article, accompanied by photos, revealed that Kennedy texted a friend a photo of himself and an unidentified woman posing with the roasted remains of a dog, taken during a 2010 trip to Asia — just as he was diagnosed with the remnants of a parasitic infection in his brain.

This all comes after the publication of a new book, excerpted by People magazine, which details Mary Kennedy’s final days before her suicide in 2012, more than a year after their separation.

According to this account, during the separation, Kennedy cut her off until she was broke, kept her estranged from his side of the family, and pressured a therapist to diagnose her with mental illness, which the therapist refused to do.

After her death, Kennedy delivered a eulogy to the press calling her a dysfunctional alcoholic and then, after the funeral, had her exhumed and moved to a new, unmarked location away from the Kennedy family burial plot.
