The DARK Side of RFK Jr., Ep. 18: Mary

Our exploration President #Trump's new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s tumultuous and troubled family life continues in Episode 18.

In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we discuss the suicide of Mary Richardson Kennedy, Bobby’s second of three wives.

During the final months of her life, while going through a prolonged and ugly divorce, Bobby's second wife Mary Richardson Kennedy discovered a secret diary her husband kept documenting scores of affairs he had during their 16-year marriage.

Mary gave the 398-page diary -- along with more evidence, including text messages, phone logs, and photos she had found in Bobby's phone -- to her divorce lawyer for safekeeping. She also gave rather curious instructions to her family members that if anything happened to her, she wanted them to leak the diary to the media so that the world would know the truth about RFK Jr.

Mary was also in the process of writing an affidavit detailing her response to terrible allegations Bobby made against her in divorce court -- allegations she strongly denied. But before she could finish and file the document with the court, Mary took her own life on May 16, 2012.

In these last two chapters we will explore the last days of Mary’s life, the legal battle between the Richardsons and the Kennedys over who would have control of her remains, and Bobby’s bizarre secret exhumation of Mary’s body from the Kennedy family burial plot.

We will also dive into the Bobby’s relationship with Cheryl Hines — the married TV star of HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” — and the secret affair that eventually led to their 2014 wedding.

In more than a decade of marriage, RFK Jr. has allegedly cheated several times on Cheryl, too. What goes around comes around, right?

If the old saying is true, “you can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats his wife,” how, then, will the history books ultimately judge Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.?

Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of #RFKJr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer.

The author also penned a scathing biography of RFK's late mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away in October 2024 at age 96.
