Title: JFK’s 18-Month Affair with 19-Year-Old White House Intern Revealed in New Book.
In a shocking revelation, a new book claims that President John F. Kennedy had an 18-month-long affair with a 19-year-old White House intern, which began with him taking her virginity in his wife Jackie’s bed.
The sensational details are unveiled in investigative journalist Maureen Callahan’s upcoming book “Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed.”
According to the book, the scandalous affair started in 1962 when JFK’s right-hand man, Dave Powers, invited the young intern, Mimi Beardsley, to join one of the infamous “pool parties” at the White House.
These gatherings were a frequent occurrence and involved young female staffers.
Just four days into her internship, Beardsley received another call from Powers, this time inviting her to an informal gathering at Kennedy’s family residence.
It was during this encounter that the President allegedly got Beardsley drunk on daiquiris and took her on a private tour of his home.
When they reached Jackie Kennedy’s bedroom, JFK reportedly guided the young intern to the bed and took her virginity.
Beardsley, who was 26 years younger than the President, also wrote about the experience in her own book, “Once Upon a Secret,” published in 2011.
In her account, Beardsley recalled, “The next thing I knew he was standing in front of me, his face inches away.
“He placed both hands on my shoulders and guided me toward the edge of the bed.
“Slowly, he unbuttoned the top of my shirtdress and touched my breasts. Then he started to pull off my underwear.”
She admitted that she had always imagined her first time would be with the man she loved on her wedding night, but questioned whether she could have resisted the President’s advances.
Despite the circumstances, Beardsley claimed that she did not feel any guilt or regret over the affair.
“I wasn’t invading the Kennedys’ marriage; I was merely occupying the President’s time when his wife was away,” she stated. “If he wasn’t troubled, why should I be?”
The revelation of this affair adds to the long list of rumors and allegations surrounding JFK’s notorious philandering.
He was reportedly a serial cheater who had affairs with numerous women, including iconic figures such as Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, and even his wife’s press secretary, Pamela Turnure.
Callahan’s book suggests that Kennedy’s frequent unfaithfulness was an open secret within the White House, with Jackie suspecting that he had even slept with her own sister, Lee Radziwill.
The 18-month affair with Beardsley, which continued until JFK’s assassination in 1963, sheds new light on the President’s personal life and the extent of his extramarital activities.
As the nation reflects on the legacy of one of its most iconic leaders, the revelations in “Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed” are sure to raise eyebrows and spark heated debates about the private lives of public figures.
The book provides a fascinating insight into the complex and often controversial world of the Kennedys and the women who were caught in their orbit.
