So a friend of mine told me that I should share what I call The Curse of Rosemary Kennedy... so I'm going to .. I haven't done a thread, let alone a none serious one... though this is some heavy shit...

So Rosemary Kennedy was the eldest Kennedy daughter.
(see far right). (Also the cutest IMO).

Rose was also a firecracker and a cheeky one...

Joe Kennedy was a tyrant...

This was the early 1900s... this is a recipe for disaster.

Joe, center. Rose Kennedy to the left of whichever mini Kennedy that is (Idk Bobby? THere were clearly a lot of them) . You can see JFK above her and Rose to the right.

So Rose.. being the spitfire she was was NOT the demure lady Joe demanded ... she was rumoured to be "fast" and sassy and talk back. I think she may have stepped out with a few gentlemen you know living her best life. But it was 1930 and that shit as not gonna fly.

So Rose was taken for "treatment" for her "disorders" .... it is possible she had mood disorders but we'll never know cause it was the early 1900s and their version of treatment for women who were "difficult" was a lobotomy. It was about this age she was take to a facility

there she was lobotomized.

For those that don't know tit's when they take the equivalent of a sterilized ice-pick and push it up your nasal cavity into your brain matter and keep going until the results they seek are found.

For Rosemary she was awake, as was custom, and they kept pushing until her speech became slurred and toddler like.

After this they shipped her to a private psychiatric facility..

Joe and Rose Kennedy Srs told the other children including JFK that Rosemary had run off to WI.

Rosemary was basically ignored for twenty years after this.. and not acknowledged by the family until during JFKs winning the presidency.

They didn't publicly acknowledge her until 1969.

And they didn't acknowledge what happened to her until 1980s ...

And that's why I think they're cursed.. and not a ONE of the siblings got out of a painful or mysterious death.. and she took JFK's son imo.

Rosemary was left alone and ignored.. not knowing where her family was for twenty years with nuns and doctors.

She never regained her full speech. Had to relearn how to walk. Forever wore diapers. And her arm developed palsy after the procedures and her bodies succumbing to the injury to her brain.

The only reason that Onassis heiress girl got away is she's not Kennedy blood.

She's Onassis blood. Her mother was Caroline Onassis.. Jackie was her great aunt.

And the Jackie also had her own family curse...

The Bouvier blood.

Edith and Little Edith Bouvier.

Edith Bouvier was Jackie's O's aunt.

They were French-American money.

This is Jackie O's cousin Little Edie Bouvier in front of the family summer home in the Hamptons.

aka Grey Gardens.

After she went home in 1954 and didn't leave again until 1977.

Her mother moved in 1931 .. she never left.
