The alleged affair between Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy (JFK) remains a subject of speculation and has been surrounded by rumors for many years. While there is no concrete evidence, various accounts and statements from individuals connected to Monroe suggest that she may have had affairs with both JFK and his brother, Robert Kennedy.
James Spada, Monroe’s biographer, claimed in his 1982 book “Monroe: A Life in Pictures” that there was ample evidence pointing to Monroe’s brief affairs with both Kennedy brothers. Spada suggested that Monroe had sexual relations with JFK and was later “passed off” to Robert Kennedy in 1962.
The alleged affairs came to public attention through accounts from individuals close to Monroe, such as her live-in maid Eunice Murray, who, in a 1983 BBC interview, claimed that Monroe admitted being tired of covering up her affairs with the Kennedys.
There are also rumors of a tape that could support the assumption that Monroe had affairs with both brothers. The tape, allegedly recorded through a bug in Monroe’s house, reportedly captures the angry voices of Robert Kennedy and Peter Lawford screaming at her during that time.
However, the circumstances surrounding Monroe’s death in 1962 remain a subject of controversy and conspiracy theories. Some speculate that there was a cover-up related to her connection with the Kennedy brothers, while others argue that her mental health and instability may have contributed to the situation.
While there is a wealth of speculation and circumstantial evidence, there is no definitive proof of the alleged affairs between Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedy brothers. The lack of concrete evidence is partly attributed to the different media landscape of that era, where the private lives of politicians were often shielded from public scrutiny by the media.
