Today's Blind Items - The Voodoo Queen
This deceased permanent A + list celebrity is a legend. The problem is that legend and truth have become a bit mixed up over the years. Anyway, if you're a person of a certain age, then you are well aware of who she is. Our celebrity, who I'll call Mrs. K, was an extremely likable and dynamic individual despite how she was sometimes portrayed publicly. Even though she was unlucky in love, she was a real survivor. At a very unexpected time in her life, she found herself caught up in a serious relationship with one of the most famous celebrities in the world. (We'll call him Mr. K)
From almost the moment they met, Mr. K was totally obsessed with Mrs. K. and would not let her out of his sight. Mrs K thought this would be a passing fancy but it wasn't. This man attached himself to Mrs. K and was totally devoted to her until his death. But that is not what makes this story interesting. What makes it interesting is that there was another woman involved in this situation too. This woman was also very much in love with Mr. K and became enraged when he fell in love with Mrs. K. (We'll call the enraged woman Mrs. C.) Mrs. C's scorned-woman rage was epic. She was wildly jealous and vowed revenge on Mrs. K. and was pretty successful at smearing Mrs. K's reputation. Mrs. K was no pushover though. She had a trusted employee who had family ties to the world of voodoo and would confide her anguish about the smear campaign to this employee. The employee was totally loyal to Mrs. K and decided to contact her family members in the islands about what was happening to Mrs. K.
A relative of the employee, with ties to the spiritual underworld there, offered to do a ritual in order to stop Mrs. C's revenge campaign. The ritual was done-- and outwardly was just meant to protect Mrs. K from future attacks on her reputation. But what Mrs. K didn't know was that the servant also secretly had a curse placed on Mrs. C. and those around her. This may seem like stuff from an old carnival fortune teller, but this was serious stuff back then and still is now. Over the years, family members of the employee (now dead) have whispered about this ritual and it's power. They believe that the ritual is still in play and has continued to cause illness, tragedy, and scandal in Mrs. C's circle even to this day.
Guessing Aristotle Onassis, Jackie Kennedy, Maria Callas?
ReplyDeleteMaria Callas, Arizona Onasis, and Jackie Kennedy
ReplyDeleteSo Callas is the one who is cursed? Who's in "her circle" ?
ReplyDeleteWow. Idk if this is thrue ( but it might be, seeing the people involved) but it's entartaining.
ReplyDeleteNo idea but very curious
ReplyDeleteI am thinking Mrs. C was Rose Kennedy and thus the infamous Kennedy curse.
ReplyDeleteNo, i get that CALLAS was the one doing the curse and Jackie was the one " cursed", and is in the kennedy and Jackie familiy that occurred " tragedies" disgraces, etc
ReplyDelete"This man attached himself to Mrs. K and was totally devoted to her until his death."
ReplyDeleteAt the time of his death, Ari and Jackie were estranged and engaged in contentious settlement negotiations related to their divorce proceedings. She almost didn't go to his funeral.
The Kennedy family has often been said to have had curses put on them, so good guess.I think enty reversed the initials.Although The Callas affair started before Jackie and Ari were married, although it's pretty much a given that it continued.
ReplyDelete@Mariaj but that doesn't fit, Callas knew Onassis years before he met Kennedy. From the item, Mrs K came after Mrs C.
ReplyDeleteno, sorry, i read it again and i missunderstood.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm could it have been Joseph Kennedy and the famous celebrity Gloria Swanson?
ReplyDeletehttp://articles.latimes.com/1988-02-14/books/bk-42841_1_gloria-swanson
That's a good guess. After meeting her everyone loved Jackie. After meeting her everyone hated Maria. Maria's life did go down the crapper later.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm maybe
ReplyDeleteJackie K-Mrs. C
Marilyn Monroe- Mrs. K
John F Kennedy-Mr. K?
Bingo! Has to be Marilyn, JFK, and Jackie. Marilyn has the curse placed on Jackie!
DeleteDoesn't work since Maria died in 1977, the Rose and Joe guess maybe works better.
ReplyDeleteAgree. Mrs K(ennedy) and Mrs C(allas) fit the blind, but I'm not sure this is about them because Ari & Jackie only communicated through their lawyers the last year or so of his life.
ReplyDeleteJackie/Ari/Maria don't make any sense time-wise. Maria and Ari were together a decade before Jackie, so that would make her Mrs. K. The Kennedy curse started long before Jackie married Jack.
ReplyDeleteFlipping it around, I really don't think Jackie's reputation was ever in any threat, nor do I think she'd need to engage any voodoo stuff to get rid of Mrs. C. She could have just used her Kennedy contacts to make her disappear.
But hey, whatever.
I like this guess better! The curse really started with Joe's offspring. And I could see Gloria Swanson having voodoo connections.
ReplyDeleteCould this be Wallis Simpson and the Prince? It made me wonder because wasn't he shucked off to the Virgin Islands or something during the war?? If so, then who is Mrs C? hmmmmm
ReplyDelete1. Joseph Kennedy, Jr. was killed during WWII. 2. Daughter Rosemary spent her life in a mental institution. 3. Jack assassinated. 4. Teddy in plane crash that broke his back. 5. Jack & Jackie's son Patrick died soon after being born. 6. Ted involved in death of Mary Jo. 7. Bobby assassinated. 8. John Kennedy, Jr. died in plane crash. 9. Bobby & Ethel's son dies of drug overdose. 10. Kennedy wife kills herself. And on and on. If this isn't a curse I don't know what it is.
ReplyDeletethe jackie and ari onassis part seems very obvious, so it would have to be maria callas. he even spotted us the 'K' and the "C', for pete's sake.
ReplyDeleteThis seems the most likely trio. Except I would see his feeling towards Mrs. K as obsession and not devotion.
ReplyDeleteThe Grimaldi Family /Curse perhaps?
ReplyDeleteGrace Kelley(Mrs K)/Prince Rainier.....?
Not sure about Mrs C-was he involved with Maria Callas? Or someone on the Oanasis family(they were competitors/foes I believe but maybe there was a woman )
Kathleen Kennedy was also killed in a plane crash, and another of Bobby's sons was killed in a skiing accident.
ReplyDeleteAll of these events in the Kennedy family happened before Jackie was involved with Onassis. Actually, Bobby's assassination was what helped drive her to Ari, who assured the safety of her kids.
ReplyDelete@Malone the item doesn't really specify one way or the other, but it does seem like Mrs. K was supposed to have been before Mrs. C.
ReplyDeleteEr, nevermind.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason when I first read this I thought of Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart. And the wife he was married to who raised hell when she found out they were involved.
ReplyDeleteI think I have a headache.
ReplyDeleteWow interesting read @ryan,
ReplyDeleteIm sure its no stretch to think that at some time or another someone placed a curse on one royal family or another.
Speaking of curses, it was written about shortly after John Lennon's death that Yoko had gone to Brazil to have a session with one of the most powerful medicine men in the country. About what, I don't know. Curses were made on people. Allegedly, John was upset about this. He died shortly after the visit. She remains in their Dakota apartment. She has never had to work since. Not that she did beforehand. Sadly, both his sons never made their mark on the music world. Sean, after all these years, still lives with mom. Sad, sad lives.
ReplyDeleteRyan, I think you're right. Queen Mother being King George's wife, mother of the current Queen. She was called "Cake" behind her back and said to have had a crush on her husband's more dynamic brother Edward VII. And she hated Wallis. Good call.
ReplyDeletelol me too grandma
ReplyDeletethanx. once i started reading the wikipedia stuff it seemed to make sense to me. i am sure there are other things that have happened in that family that i couldnt find but the weird part about the prince george that died is the ties to a lot of the other people that he supposedly had
ReplyDeletethe other thing that is mind blowing from that prince george stuff on wiki is that raine (barbara cartland's daughter)was princess diana's stepmom. so according to the prince george wiki, there was a rumor that prince g. was actually raine's real father? so that would make diana's stepmom the daughter of her ex-husband's (chuck's) great uncle :o *and* the bio father of the husband of jackie kennedy's sister? you cant make this shit up
ReplyDeleteQueen mother was called cookie bc she was the child of her father and their cook but raised as if she was legitimate from his wife
ReplyDeleteWasn't Edward the crazy one and George the boring one with a stutter
OMG, wow, Enty? Some people have a serious disbelief of karma... SMDH.
ReplyDeleteEnty has to do the reveal because heads are spinning like the exorcist.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to make this about Marilyn and Joe DiMaggio as he was totally devoted to her, during her marriages after him and he never married after her plus there are lots of "stories" about her. Just couldn't figure out mrs c
ReplyDeleteme too, think abt Acetaminophen lol...
ReplyDeleteEven by the low standards of this site, this tripe is embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteyes, i read the nicknames cookie and cake and typed cookie. this blind is crazy (in a good way) but i think the title tells all
ReplyDeletethe lower the standards are here, the more i like them personally :)
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone around here know?

Defo jackie for Mrs k, the employee was providencia paredes who was initially from Dominican republic.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about mrs c, sounds like callas but the only impact would be on the onassis family.
Death of Ari, both his children and callas herself. His granddaughters husband cheated on her and she has renounced her greek roots selling off Scorpios island.
Yoko Ono's father was a banker, descended from the Emperor of Japan.
ReplyDeleteShe grew up wealthy.
Sean lives in a brownstone in Greenwich Village; Yoko still has her multiple apartments at the Dakota.
sandy, how do i load an image next to my name? someone has hijacked my name here so i need to make sure the real me is the real me :) thanx
ReplyDeleteDamn it I just typed you an answer and it disappeared, so if this shows twice that's why.

I guess I'm way off. I thought of Debbie Reynolds - very likable, unlucky in love and Liz Taylor was the thorn in her side. I then thought of Grace Kelly
ReplyDeleteCan't be JacquK / AriO bec. Ari was not devoted to her or any of his women. Only person he cared for was his son Alexander -- Ari was devastated when Alex was killed in plane crash. Sounds very like Duke & Duchess of Windsor. There are stories that the late Queen Mother (Elizabeth) wanted to marry the Duke, but even if so, she was later very happy w/her husband, Bertie. QM Eliz loathed the Duchess, but she believed the Duch. to be a sexual degenerate & pervert who had learned strange things in a Chinese brothel -- and used these techniques to bewitch and ensnare Prince Edward. As odd as it sounds, this was supposedly confirmed by Brit. Intelligence. Queen Mother was called "Cookie" because it was known that she was the daughter of a scullery maid/cook in the Earl of Strathmore's grand Scottish house. (E. of S. was her father). This is in biog. published recently, author Shawcross. Plus Eliz. hated Wallis for more personal reasons: Eliz was notoriously frumpy while W was tres elegant, always on Best Dressed List; E was homebody, W lived in nightclubs; E was ultra conventional/conservative, W was edgy, trendy, hip. Most likely Mrs. C? How about Thelma Furness? Ex-lover of Edward, rather shabbily dumped by him in favor of Wallis. Was married to a Converse. Lots of trouble & scandal played out in her family.
