The Kennedy family is largely considered the closest thing to American royalty. And while the public may have been sold the idea of ‘Camelot,’ what went on behind closed doors was anything but idyllic – especially for the women sucked into the Kennedy orbit.
Daily Mail columnist and Megyn Kelly Show regular Maureen Callahan is out with a new book, Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed, that takes a closer look at the dark underbelly of the wealth, power, and glamor portrayed by the clan.
In it, she reveals stunning new details about the exploitation, violence, and sexism women associated with the Kennedys – including Jackie Onassis, Marilyn Monroe, Carolyn Bessette, Martha Moxley, Mary Jo Kopechne, Rosemary Kennedy, and many others – were subjected to. On Thursday’s show, Callahan joined Megyn for an exclusive sneak peek at the exposé and to dive into some of the most incendiary revelations.
