You might not know who Mimi Alford is but over the years she has told a few JFK stories about her time working as an intern for JFK when he was President. Now she has finally written down all her stories and had them published. Basically she says that when she was 19, JFK took her virginity in Jackie's bedroom. He made her take drugs once at a party at Bing Crosby's house. They had an 18 month fling which lasted until JFK was killed. They had sex very frequently and at one point she thought she was pregnant and JFK had someone take her to see an abortion doctor. It turns out she was not pregnant. One time JFK also made her perform oral sex on one of his staff. Oh, and there is the fact that during 18 months of sex, there was not one kiss. Sounds nice doesn't it?
What if there was the internet back then?
ReplyDeleteI think we can all agree JFK was a hard core sex addict. I feel sorry for the women that fell for him so hard and got used like toilet paper.
ReplyDeleteI guess he thought he was being faithful to Jackie if he didn't kiss the others.
Oh my Lord! I want to read this.
ReplyDeleteHere's the trouble I have with this. Whats her proof? The other players are dead. DO we REALLY believe her?
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm a first time poster here, but have been reading the blog for years.
ReplyDeleteI've gotta agree with Sadie here...those are some pretty hefty allegations that this woman is throwing here, and of course the people that can prove if it's true or not are dead. Does this woman have any proof that these things really happened? I'm not naive, I know JFK loved his sex, but at the same token I'm not sure if I believe everything she's claiming that happened here.
There have been references going back decades that Mimi was involved with JFK. So there appears to be no doubt about that. Whether a specific sex act was done only she and he would be able to tell you.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is crazy stuff! If true, he was one messed up dude, sexually.
ReplyDeleteAnd hi @Dr_Holly, good to meet ya, and I agree.
He's messed up and so is she for putting up with him.
ReplyDeleteEven if JFK or Jackie were alive, do you really think they would say the truth???
ReplyDeleteI've never understood how people can be so adoring and worshipful of the Kennedys. Any of them.
ReplyDeletetotally believe her, I think it was quite respectful of her not to come out with this prior to nowish
ReplyDeleteI recently read a Jackie O biography from the 80's and good heavens! I totally lost respect for the Kennedys, especially John F.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Reese. I never understood why people look at him as a great person and it makes my spine curl to know that my favorite celebrity of all time, Marilyn, had anything to do with this slime. I remember in 8th grade we went to his grave and it was everything in me not to give it the middle finger. I would have gotten punished for sure LOL.
ReplyDeletehttp://slatest.slate.com/posts/2012/02/05/mimi_alford_jfk_pressured_19_year_old_mistress_to_perform_oral_sex_do_drugs_.html
ReplyDelete"Mimi Alford, then Mimi Beardsley, interned at the White House in the summer of 1962, quickly caught the president’s eye. The 19-year-old joined the 45-year-old president for a noon swim four days into her internship. Later that day, he took her virginity in 'Mrs. Kennedy’s room.'
[...]
"Alford’s identity was first revealed in 2003 when Robert Dallek published portions of a 1964 oral history that described the affair. A press aide had described the affair to a researcher but had asked that it be kept secret. Dallek convinced her to release the interview for his book. The New York Daily News then tracked down Marion Fahnestock, who, faced with a media frenzy, confirmed the affair.
"At the time, the late Hugh Sidey, who covered Kennedy at the White House, wrote in Time, confirming that '[T]here was a Mimi,' quickly adding: 'there was also a Pam, a Priscilla, a Jill (actually, two of them), a Janet, a Kim, a Mary and a Diana I can think of offhand.'"
He really was a rat.
So he treated her like a hooker ...nice.
ReplyDeleteHow do you make someone take drugs?
ReplyDeletein clear the White House was a brothel (if i believe her)
ReplyDeleteI watched a documentary on him recently and he slept with hundreds of women some of them caused the FBI and his own security real headaches because they were allegedly Russian spies. One of them was from East Germany, who was set up with Kennedy by one of his friends. Kennedy thanked him by saying he never had better sex with anyone as with her. Hoover knew all about that and blackmailed him and Robert Kennedy.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh Jackie!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Caroline is felling/thinking about this?
I read the recent Jackie book of her oral history she gave right in 1964. She presented as being so committed to making things good for him during the presidency. Like trying to make things happy and easy at home when he was dealing with major crisies at the office and such.
I find it odd how Jackie Kennedy did not want JFK to interact with MLK Jr too much socially because she thought MLK Jr. was a bad influence, i.e. women. And she was that fucking clueless about her man? This info is coming from that Diane Sawyer ans Maria Shriver thing-a-ma-jing last year.
ReplyDeleteSheesh...
I can believe her story. An older man TAKING ADVANTAGE of a very young woman.
Reese, I absolutely do not adore any of the Kennedys. Let alone most people in the public eye.
ReplyDeleteChopChop, I can believe that he coaxed her into using drugs not necessarily made her.
The original SNL once did a hilarious sketch about JFK and Marilyn Monroe, and I just wish I could recall who the performers were. It had Bobby and Jack wrapping up a meeting, shaking hands, and Bobby leaving. Once he'd gone, Jack opened the back door and Marilyn snuck in. He asked her if she was ready and she said yes, put on a pair of glasses, and sat down behind his desk. Then he started pacing back and forth telling her all about his troubles - with those damn Russians and their missiles in Cuba, with all the civil rights protesters, with LBJ, and so - and she went down the list one by one telling him exactly how to handle all of his issues. All of a sudden Bobby came into the room and she threw off her glasses and jumped on Jack. "Oh, I'm sorry" Bobby said, backing out, "I didn't know you were busy."
ReplyDeleteDon't forget - he was her *boss*. She had a great opportunity interning at the White House. She was probably afraid to say no. Things were different back then. Plus, he was her first (it seems consensual) so she probably fell hard for him, too.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like Ruth Madoff
ReplyDeleteI definitely believe her story, clearly JFK was a p-hound and pretty much all around asshole at least as far as women were concerned. But what is the point in writing about it now? Other than the money, of course
ReplyDeleteI mean, the story certainly doesn't shine a bright light on her, 19 years old or not. Its bad enough that she did it, why tell the world and embarrass your family as well as his? I find this no different than Tiger Woods' skanks who come slithering out from under their rocks for their 15 minutes of fame.
Bonk JFK or LBJ? JFK!!
ReplyDeleteJFK was a sex addict just like Fassbender played in Shame. There was way more to it than that. I read that same book as Brenda Love. My eyes were opened. Remember kids, psychopathy is genetic.
ReplyDeleteHow do you even have sex without kissing? I understand prostitutes--they use lube. But most of us women can't even get aroused without kissing...?
ReplyDeleteI totally believe this. JFK was a politician afterall. JFK was known for cheating on Jackie. I don't doubt any of this for a minute. The Kennedy's were all shady.
ReplyDeleteWow, she was lovely. How sad that she was infatuated with and used by a powerful and morally corrupt man who happened to be the POTUSA. She probably felt honored and flattered by his attentions.
ReplyDeleteread the book The Importance of being Kennedy.
ReplyDeletethat whole family was fucked.
Kennedy is looked at like a demi god and he was a fkn dick who had no business being President.
Karl Rove probably still gets a woody thinking about it.
Thank you Reese! That is exactly how I felt about the Kennedys. It was like they had a black cloud over their heads, what with all the scandals that have happened to them. I find it very concerning when you assign reverence to a human being. Look at Joe Paterno! People talk of how wonderful he is and all the great things he's done, but the bottom line is: he had a choice to intervene when a boy was being raped in a shower, and he turned his head. It would have been so easy for him to do something, and he chose to pass the buck. When JFK Jr died and all these tributes were being made, all I could think of was that he was told not to fly that day because conditions were bad, and he did it anyway.
ReplyDeleteWowsa. The thing that blows me away the most is the 'not one kiss' thing. Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteAndrewBW- THANK YOU for sharing that!!!!
ReplyDeleteFucking fantastic.
Eff all these misogynistic mother fuckers who think women are nothing but walking holes for them to use and discard.
That being said- please. I can think of a dozen presidents off the top of my head who were worse than Kennedy. He wasnt THAT bad (a president that is, obviously he sucked at marriage, faithfullness, and an overall sense of integrity or honor)
What makes the Kennedy's so special? Because they made a bunch of cash during prohibition and then got into politics? That's basically it. They act like trailer trash with money.
ReplyDeleteOne word:ewwwww!
ReplyDeleteOne word: ewww!
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't a "sex addict," he was intoxicated with power, and knew he could get away with anything he wanted.
ReplyDeleteJax, the only book I can find that is listed as "The Importance of being Kennedy" is a work of fiction by Laurie Graham, is that the one you mean?
ReplyDeleteI had to request the Mimi book from the library, I won't pay for it, but it may be an interesting read. The rumors were swirling about JFK (and other presidents) for years, this doesn't surprise me. If you want a really good look at some of the older presidents from the eyes of someone who knew them all, get Upstairs at the White House by JB White. It's an old book, 1973, but it's really interesting.
Personally I think Old Joe Kennedy made a deal with the devil, and the payments are still being made into the third generation. NOT my idea of a happy family.
ReplyDeleteI dont think there has ever been a president that didnt use the interns as stress relief but when did JFK have time to work with all the sex he was having.
ReplyDeleteIve often wondered if JFK would be so well loved if he went two terms.
There are some even freakier claims of sex w JFK floating around online from a few women who claim to have been mind control victims that were groomed from a very young age to service men of power thru ritual sex abuse and worse. They are appalling! If anything in them is remotely factual this woman's accounts are mild in comparison.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago a friend in New York who is Irish Catholic like the Kennedys told me that his mother refused to vote for JFK because she thought he was a bad Catholic and that she thought he was cheating on his wife. That tells me that there was at least some vague awareness even at the time of his election of his ways. I've always wondered just how extensive it might have been.
ReplyDeleteThat said, if you ask me Cuban Missile Crisis: JFK or Richard Nixon? there's not a shred of doubt in my mind - JFK all the way.
And speaking of Nixon, he treated his wife horribly too, thought not in the same way that JFK did. Nixon alternately ignored Pat and abused and insulted her in public. He was a real bastard. I always remember the slogan from the '68 election - Dick Nixon Before He Dicks You!
@rareavis - Oh how glorious that would have been.
ReplyDeleteAgree w/ the others that say this family was completely screwed up.
