Diary Details Encounter with Tom Hanks

In an entry dated February 2000, Kennedy labeled Tom Hanks as a "chronic complainer" despite his successful career, revealing a less seen side of the beloved actor.

Hanks reportedly expressed dissatisfaction in a specific event, which prompted this critique, though the diary does not note the exact details of the event.

Bruce Willis Praised in Kennedy's Writings

Contrastingly, Kennedy's notes from the same month praise actor Bruce Willis for his physical appearance, describing him as "slim and strong," a stark contrast to his tough on-screen persona.

This observation was made when the two met, providing insight into Kennedy's personal interactions and the impressions they left on him.

The diaries also delve into more sensitive topics, such as his cousin's husband Edwin Schlossberg, whom Kennedy accused in March 2001 of mishandling the estate of Jackie Kennedy Onassis. Kennedy's entries claim Schlossberg considered himself a "financial genius," yet allegedly rewrote Jackie's will poorly, not sheltering a penny of the estate.

Alec Baldwin's Personal Struggles Shared with Kennedy

In a more personal revelation, the diaries disclosed a conversation between Kennedy and Alec Baldwin in January 2001. Baldwin, amid his divorce from Kim Basinger, expressed concerns about the well-being of their daughter Ireland.

These entries not only discuss Baldwin's fears but also highlight the personal nature of Kennedy's relationships with other celebrities, who confided in him during times of personal strife.

The diaries' most controversial aspect perhaps is their coded entries regarding Kennedy's sexual activities. Using numbers to signify different acts, with "10" indicating intercourse, these codes show a secretive side to Kennedy's recording of his extramarital relations.

Tragic End for Mary Richardson Kennedy

These secretive writings only came to light following the tragic events leading up to May 2012, when Mary Richardson Kennedy took her own life after discovering these diaries. Just days before her suicide, RFK Jr. had filed for divorce.

This sequence of events casts a shadow over the Kennedy family, adding a layer of tragedy to the already complex narrative of the diaries.

RFK Jr. has stated that the diaries served as "a tool for self-examination and for dealing with my spiritual struggles at the time," suggesting a therapeutic intent behind their creation. This aspect highlights the personal and introspective use of the diaries, amidst their more sensational contents.

Controversy Surrounds Kennedy's Emotional Affair

Adding to the controversy, in early 2024, it was revealed that Kennedy had an emotional affair with journalist Olivia Nuzzi. Although Kennedy denied that the relationship was physical, Nuzzi later admitted that their communication turned personal and regretted not disclosing this conflict of interest sooner.

Despite the turmoil, Kennedy's current wife, Cheryl Hines, has stood by him, supporting his decision to withdraw from the presidential race amidst the ongoing controversy.

As the public processes the contents of these diaries, the revelations continue to stir debate and discussion about the personal lives of public figures, the ethical implications of their private actions, and the impact of such disclosures on their public and private relationships.
