CAROLINE KENNEDY UNMASKED!
JFK & Jackie’s only surviving child is loner who lives apart from hubby
PRESIDENT John F. Kennedy’s diplomat daughter, Caroline, has been leading a shocking double life — hiding her sham marriage, secret marijuana garden, her single life as an ambassador in Japan and a bitter family feud, insiders tell GLOBE.
“Caroline Kennedy has a lot of skeletons in her family closet,” says a source close to the 60-year-old daughter of assassinated JFK and his late wife, Jackie.
“Now those skeletons are all starting to come out!”
After more than three decades of marriage, “the walls of Caroline’s wedded bliss” to New York businessman Ed Schlossberg, 73, “have come tumbling down,” says a source close to the diplomat and attorney.
“The thrill is gone.” Caroline and Schlossberg wed in 1986 and are parents of Rose, 30, Tatiana, 28, and Jack, 25. But “it’s a marriage in name only,” an insider insists.
“They live separate lives.” Their rocky relationship was exposed when Caroline was appointed U.S. ambassador to Japan in 2013, says the insider.
She went overseas while Ed stayed with the kids in New York, and “they liked it that way,” blabs the insider. Normally, ambassadors have a spouse who also attends social events, but maverick Caroline moved around as a single woman.
Since returning from Tokyo, Caroline’s continued her single lifestyle, traveling the country as a speaker while Ed remains in the Big
Apple, sources dish.
But divorce is not in the cards for staunch Catholic Caroline, who insists she’ll never split with Ed because her faith mandates marriage is forever, the source says.
“Caroline has decided there’s been enough tragedy, scandal and bitter marital conflict in the Kennedy family,” says the source.
Behind the scenes, she’s secretly battled to save her legendary family from being torn apart by infighting, tragedy, legal scandals and bitter divorce after losing her dad and Uncle Bobby to gunmen, her mother to cancer in 1994 and 38-yearold brother John Jr. to a horrible 1999 plane crash many believe was murder.
In 2012, Caroline admitted the Kennedy dynasty was at its “lowest point ever” with the DUI arrest of her cousin Kerry Kennedy, who is one of Bobby’s daughters.
After smashing into a tractor trailer in New York, officers found Kerry unable to walk, talk or see straight — and arrested the dazed Kennedy.
Following her bust, the clan acted like an “organized crime family … playing hardball and trying to influence the police investigation by order--
a battery of independent tests to prove Kerry’s innocence,” the source says.
She was later acquitted, but Caroline was furious at her relatives’ ham-fisted antics and “determined to rein in her family to save the Kennedy name and future generations, who she hopes will go on to do great things like her dad, JFK, and Kerry’s father,” says the source. But, sadly, the modern Kennedys seem more about addictive selfobsession than public service. David Kennedy died from a 1984 drug overdose. After serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, Caroline’s cousin Patrick — the son of hard-drinking Ted — quit politics to battle booze and drug problems.
Caroline also was caught up in a drug scandal of her own. In Christopher Andersen’s 2003 book, Sweet Caroline: Last Child of Camelot, the author revealed teenage Caroline grew pot among the cabbages in the garden of the Kennedy Hyannis Port, Mass., compound — and insisted she and brother John smoked the reefer together!
Now all her secrets are being smoked out, insiders say.
“Caroline was trying to keep a lot of these things under wraps,” says a pal. “But the past is finally catching up with her!”
