"I always knew who killed her". Resonant facts about Marilyn Monroe's death have become known
The life of the Hollywood actress and American sex symbol Marilyn Monroe was full of ups and downs. At the end of her life, the star abused alcohol and drugs. Severe depression led to her death.
However, the American columnist Maureen Callahan sheds light on Monroe's suicide by collecting all the facts about the secrets of the white-haired beauty in her book Don't Ask. According to Ralph Greenson, the star's psychoanalyst, his patient was far from committing suicide. Meanwhile, Joe DiMaggio, the actress's third husband, blamed the Kennedy brothers, Jack and Bobby, for the tragedy, the Daily Mail reports.
Love triangle
As you know, Marilyn Monroe was the mistress of US President John F. Kennedy for a long time. While the politician pretended to be a family man next to his legal wife, in the evenings he would forget himself in bed with the famous Hollywood blonde. Despite the fact that First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy knew about all of her husband's affairs, it was Monroe who worried her the most.
Over time, the president got tired of the celebrity, so he decided to "share" his mistress with his brother Bobby, the US Attorney General. The brothers replaced each other, and although Marilyn had suspicions that she was being used, she simply turned a blind eye.
After the sex symbol sang the famous "Happy Birthday" to the head of state, Jacqueline was furious, taking it as an insult. Then she gave her husband an ultimatum: no Marilyn. Otherwise, she would divorce Kennedy, take the children away, and the American people would finally know why.
Bobby also managed to get away with it. It is worth noting that at that time he had seven children with his wife Estelle. Then the "general," as the blond woman called him, began to disappear constantly because of work. Marilyn took it to heart.
Scandalous photo shoot and threats
Monroe suffered from severe depression, and her consumption of alcohol and medication was "staggering," Callahan writes. In the end, her "constant inability to get out of bed" caused her to be fired from the set of her last movie, Something's Got to Give.
She "took public humiliation as a challenge" by daring to do a nude photo shoot. At the age of 36, at the peak of her beauty, she posed for VOGUE. In the most daring photos, the artist was naked in bed with her breasts wrapped in pink tulle. The fans' attention was drawn to a long, deep scar, the result of a recent gallbladder surgery. It was a physical manifestation of how Marilyn felt: devastated and destroyed.
But her grief soon gave way to revenge, and both Kennedy brothers received a message: if they continued to ignore Marilyn, she would call a press conference and tell the world the truth. Later, Bobby and Jack discovered that the FBI and the CIA had bugged the star's home and phone line without her knowledge. It was a coordinated attempt to destroy both politicians.
Terrible news
A few hours later, at 7:30 pm, Marilyn called her friend Peter Lawford at home, telling him "goodbye". Her body was found early in the morning by a housekeeper. Monroe was lying face down on the bed, naked, with the phone in her hand.
FBI officers were immediately dispatched to the star's home. Former senior FBI agent James Doyle later admitted that the Bureau had been ordered to delete certain phone records. A surveillance system was missing from her home, as well as a diary that Bobby had apparently ordered "disposed of" months ago.
Marilyn Monroe's death on August 5, 1962, was caused by an overdose of barbiturates. Whether it was accidental or intentional is unknown. But those who knew and loved her the most blamed Jack and Bobby Kennedy.
Blonde DiMaggio's ex-husband banned the president and his brother from attending her funeral, and later reportedly said: "I always knew who killed her, but I didn't want to start a revolution in this country. All the Kennedys were murderers of women, and they always got away with it."
