RFK Jr.’s Daughter Kick Said He Once Beheaded a Whale with a Chainsaw

The story told by Kick Kennedy in her 2012 Town & Country interview resurfaced after news broke of her spending time with Ben Affleck amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.

Kick Kennedy, the daughter of RFK Jr., regaled Town & Country with a tale of a whale in a 2012 cover story that has resurfaced amid rumors of a potential romance with recently divorced Ben Affleck. In the interview, which covered a range of topics from her travels and budding acting career to her family legacy, Kennedy, 36, shared an anecdote about a childhood trip to Hyannis Port, Mass., where her father’s at-times-bizarre fascination with dead animals was on full display through a gruesome story of him beheading a whale. This story comes on the heels of the recent dropout from the presidential race admitting to dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park in 2014, staging it as a bicycle accident—a tale he recounted to Roseanne Barr in an effort to get ahead of an unflattering New Yorker article.
