Yesterday I binged through Hulu's "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette" which was so sad.

The Gilded Age på Max. My brilliant friend på Max/hbo må lese tekst. Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette på Disney. Outlander - Netflix. The Crown - Netflix. One Piece - Netflix. The Law according to Lidia Poët - Netflix. Hollywood - Netflix. Anonymkode: 1942c...f1b

Her jump onto the Carolyn Bessette Kennedy bandwagon via a makeup and fragrance cosplay video on instagram seems in poor taste imo. A lot of "I'm sure Carolyn would have been a fan of this/done this this way" and "Carolyn would have approved of this product [if it was available when she wasnt dead]" etc and a lot of faux insider knowledge. Feels quite ghoulish.

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/Former_Ad8217 AITAH for calling my girlfriend weird over her John F. Kennedy obsession? Originally posted to r/AITAH Thanks to a longtime lurker for suggesting this BoRU TRIGGER WARNING: Controlling behavior, ableism, theft Original Post Feb 18, 2026 Throwaway account because my girlfriend surfs Reddit often. So my girlfriend, 19F, is a high-functioning autistic and tends to obsess over things more than the average person. Ever since I met her, she's always been a huge history buff and is now getting a bachelor's in American History and an associate's in Political Science. She is very politically driven and fixates a lot on political history. Ever since high school, she's had a deep fascination with the Kennedy family, but more specifically, John F. Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy. She can name their birthdays and death dates and times off the top of her head, she can name all of the children Bobby had, she knows every single executive order President Kennedy has made in his years in office. It's not just John and Bobby, but the rest of the Kenndy siblings as well. I was never judgy about it, but I've always thought it was a little strange. We recently moved in together, and I now realize how intense this obsession is. I knew she had some memorabilia, like old newspapers and campaign pins, but I had no idea that it was more extreme than that. She has posters, statues, books, article clippings, and an Ita Bag. Yeah, my girlfriend has a JFK Ita Bag. She also has almost every copy of George Magazine (JFK Jr.'s Magazine), she recently bought like $100 worth of Jack Schlossberg's campaign merch and will vote for him when mid-terms come around, she has Jackie's White House tour on VHS, the whole thing. She collects anything and everything Kennedy related, and will talk my ear off about them for hours. It started to become very off-putting for me, seeing her obsess over real people who are now dead. Last night, we were eating dinner when the topic of Carolyn Bessette came up. As she was talking about Carolyn's relationship with JFK Jr., I explained to her that she was really weird and it was strange that she just knew everything about these people. I said that it's okay to have special interests but it gets to a point. She didn't take it very well and left to go stay at her best friend's house for the night. I think she's overreacting, but I do feel a little bad, so am I the asshole? EDIT: My girlfriend has always had a past with severe bullying, especially on her interests. I've never poked fun at them, so she knows that my response was not bullying. RELEVANT COMMENTS larachaes i'm not the biggest history nerd but i think knowing that much about history and politics is fucking awesome and tells me that she's a smart person. i'm assuming she's not dry humping a body pillow of jfk every night, so i don't know what your issue is. you knew she liked these things before y'all got together and now you're complaining when it's in your face. yta absolutely OOP I knew but not the extent and based off how big she loves JFK she might as well own a body pillow. I don't appreciate how much she obsesses over him and the family. larachaes jesus christ get the fuck off my screen dude ~ RaymondBeaumont of course you are the asshole, how would you not be? have you never met a person with deep knowledge about something and collects stuff about it? no friend who is obsessed with football? OOP I do, but football is different. larachaes how is it different??? OOP It's more normal. A lot of people like football, and yes sometimes people can take it to the extreme but I find that football is more reasonable than the Kennedys. ~ WarmFaithlessness162 Yes YTA. Just because you might not be into it doesn’t mean it’s weird, also as you mentioned she’s autistic spoiler alert it’s most likely her “special interest” which means yes she’s gonna talk about it repeatedly and be knowledgeable about the topic. Have you told her how you feel since it’s obviously such an issue to you? Or did you just run to Reddit to try to shame her for her interests just because they don’t align with yours? OOP I never thought it was an issue before so I never felt the need to talk to her about it. I came here because I just thought it was weird that she likes these things so much and I wanted to know if I was the only one who saw it that way Update Apr 8, 2026 (2 months later) So it's been a few months since I last posted. First off, yes I saw that everyone called me an asshole. I still think some of you were overreacting, but whatever. My girlfriend stayed at her friend’s place for three days. She barely responded to my texts except to say she needed space. When she finally came back, she didn’t yell or anything, which honestly made it more uncomfortable. She just sat me down and tried to explain, again, that her interest in history and specifically the Kennedys is something that brings her comfort and structure, especially because of her autism and past bullying. She said me calling her weird hit a nerve. I told her I understood, but I also said I still think the level she takes it to is excessive and borderline unhealthy. I thought I was being reasonable by not backing down completely. She told me that if I really thought it was that weird, then I probably had no idea how much of her collection I had actually been interacting with on a daily basis. I asked what that meant and she just kind of looked at me and said “you really don’t notice anything, do you?” Apparently, and I swear I am not making this up, a lot of the stuff in our apartment that I thought was just “normal decor” is actually Kennedy related. The framed black and white city photo in the hallway is from the day of JFK’s inauguration. The dishes we use are replicas from a White House set. The throw blanket on the couch has some kind of subtle pattern tied to Jackie Kennedy’s fashion line or something like that IDFK. Even the stupid coasters have little embossed dates on them that correspond to important moments like his assassination, JFK and Jackie's marriage, Bobby's assassination, and so on. I told her that kind of proves my point, that it’s too much if she’s literally building her entire environment around this family. She got really quiet again and said she didn’t think it was a problem because it makes her feel happy and safe. While she was out again the next day, I decided to help. I packed up a bunch of what I thought were the things like the its bag, some of the statues, and a stack of magazines, and I took them to a storage unit my cousin has. My thinking was that if it wasn’t constantly in her face, she might tone it down a bit and we could have a more normal living space. I didn’t tell her beforehand because I knew she would say no and she'd probably blow up in my face. She came home, immediately noticed things were missing, and completely lost it. I have never seen her like that. Not yelling, but like full shutdown panic. She started going through every room, opening drawers, checking closets, asking me where everything was. I told her I just moved some stuff out for now and she started crying and said I had no right. Her best friend showed up with her mom. Apparently my girlfriend had called them in a panic thinking someone had broken in and stolen her things. Her mom was furious at me and basically said I crossed a major boundary and that this wasn’t about clutter, it was about me trying to control something that is important to her. I tried to explain that I was just trying to make things healthier, but nobody was on my side. Her mom literally told me to give everything back immediately or they would come with her to get the rest of her stuff and she would be moving out. She is currently staying with her mom again. I had to go back to the storage unit and bring everything back, and she came by with her friend to collect not just the items I moved but also a bunch of her other stuff that I didn’t even touch. Before she left, she told me that what I did felt worse than the bullying she dealt with before, because at least those people weren’t pretending to care about her. I honestly think that is a huge exaggeration. I didn’t destroy anything, I didn’t throw anything away, I just relocated it temporarily. But now her entire family thinks I’m some controlling asshole and she is talking about not coming back at all. So yeah. That’s the update. I still feel like I had a point about the obsession being too much, but now I’m apparently the villain for trying to do something about it. So Reddit, am I still the asshole? THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT THE OOP DO NOT CONTACT THE OOP's OR COMMENT ON LINKED POSTS, REMEMBER - RULE 7 submitted by /u/Direct-Caterpillar77 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Excerpt from Maureen Callahan's book: Ask Not "Carolyn was so good at reading people, the mercurial Calvin especially, that soon she was styling some of his clients. The models, the movie stars, the network news anchors, the socialites. And after each wealthy female client left, Carolyn's diffident mask would drop. She'd turn and drill down every colleague in the room: Where do you think that woman gets all her money? How did she land that guy? Where do you go to meet rich men? Famous men? Carolyn was serious. That was her endgame. She studied Calvin's models harder than any subject in school: How did they stay so thin? What did they do to their hair? Their skin? Who did their waxing, plucking, dyeing, manicures? Polish or no polish? Nails short or long? She studied their high-low aesthetic, the way they'd match a white Hanes T-shirt with Prada or low-top sneakers with a floor-sweeping silk skirt. The trick was to look like you threw it all together without thinking, when really you spent hours trying. All that effort had to look effortless." Carolyn learned about minimalism from working at Calvin Klein. She learned about fashion, fabrics, how to mix high /low trends. What the latest it" clothing brands, shoes and "it" bags that were trending - which were Hermes & Prada, and what models / actresses were wearing when they'd come in for styling or meet with Calvin Klein himself. Do you think she altered her look – thin eyebrows, hair color, weight loss because she thought this is what JFK Jr’s wife should look like? Or do you think she altered her looks based on what was trending? We saw a different Carolyn from 1994-1996 when she married John. We all hop on the latest trends, but when Carolyn transformed herself to her version of an ideal Kennedy wife, what do you think her friends and family thought when they saw her in tabloids? Were they concerned? Most of the women that married Kennedy men from the 80s-90s didn't alter their looks this much. Was Carolyn's look really that effortless? \*several of John's co-workers and closest friends mentioned Carolyn cared about how she looked in the tabloids.* submitted by /u/marshamarshamarsha88 to r/CarolynBessetteKnndy [link] [comments]

I’ve been noticing how much Carolyn Bessette Kennedy style is trending again — black, white, clean lines, very ’90s minimalism. Personally, after a long New York winter, I want spring to feel like relief — more personality, more texture, sometimes more color. I pulled together a few outfit boards inspired by minimalism but with slightly more individuality — curious how others are approaching spring this year! — (Edit: I shared a link earlier for those who asked, but realized it’s against the rules here. If you’re looking for the outfit links, feel free to DM me or check my profile.) submitted by /u/Habit_Hacker to r/femalefashionadvice [link] [comments]
