Robert F. Kennedy Jr. makes another bizarre confession days after he admitted leaving a dead bear cub in Central Park
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made another bizarre admission, just days after revealing that he abandoned a dead bear cub in New York’s Central Park in 2014.
On Sunday, Kennedy released a video in which he tells comedian Roseanne Barr that he put the dead bear in his car with the plan to “put the meat in my refrigerator.”
Kennedy was in court in Albany this week. The case was about whether he falsely claimed to be a resident of New York State, a claim he used in his petition to be on the presidential ballot.
As Kennedy left court on Wednesday, reporters asked him if he had encountered any other animals on the road or if it was a one-time occurrence.
“I’ve been picking up roadkill my whole life,” the presidential candidate said. “I’ve got a freezer full of them.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. waves to supporters as he enters court Wednesday. As he left, he told reporters he had a “freezer” full of eaten animals, as journalists continued to question the story about the dead bear cub.
According to the Associated Press news agency, the comment was laughed at.
Kennedy’s inclusion in the 2024 presidential election cycle has made a wild campaign season even wilder.
In May, The New York Times published a story about how Kennedy suffered from brain fog and memory loss in 2010, which doctors eventually attributed to a brain worm.
Kennedy revealed this information in a 2012 divorce declaration, in which he claimed the brain worm had diminished his earning power.
Kennedy has since made a film of the brainworm story.
It came up when a reporter for The New Yorker asked Kennedy about depositing the dead bear in Central Park.
“Maybe that’s where I got my brainwave,” the candidate said.
The New Yorker published a photo of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then 60, and the bear cub he later dropped off in Central Park in 2014. “Maybe that’s where I got my brain worm,” the candidate joked to a New Yorker reporter
Vanity Fair published a story claiming that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had sent a photo to a friend of himself pretending to eat a barbecued dog in Korea. Kennedy said it was a goat in Patagonia
The New Yorker published a profile of Kennedy on Monday, including a photo of him with his hand in the dead cub’s mouth.
Kennedy went public with the story about the dead bear cub on Sunday to preempt what The New Yorker would say about him.
“I look forward to seeing how you handle this, New Yorker,” he wrote on X, posting the video of his conversation with Barr.
Kennedy resisted even more vigorously when Vanity Fair claimed last month that he had eaten dog in South Korea.
The article included a photo of Kennedy laughing and holding up the charred body of a dead animal.
According to the magazine, a veterinarian identified the animal as a dog because it had a distinctive “floating rib” that is also found in canines.
RFK Jr. posted a message on X saying that the gray animal was not a dog, but a goat, and that the photo was not from Korea, but from Patagonia.
“Hey @VanityFair, remember when you veterinary experts call a goat a dog, and your forensic experts say a photo taken in Patagonia was taken in Korea, you join the ranks of the supermarket tabloids,” Kennedy wrote.
