Ugly early days of JFK Jr’s romance with Carolyn Bessette is revealed in new biography

John F. Kennedy Jr confronted Carolyn Bessette with a nasty poison pen letter labeling her as a user during the early days of their courtship.

Author Elizabeth Beller’s new book, Once Upon A Time: The Captivating Life Of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, details the ugly scene during a date in Tribeca in 1992.

“The letter claimed that Carolyn was a user, a partygoer, that she was after fame and fortune, that Carolyn was ‘dating guys around town.’

“John casually threw the piece of paper at her, got up and walked out the door,” Beller wrote in an excerpt printed by the newspaper. Wall Street Journall.

The writer of the letter has not been identified, but Beller said it was a trusted confidant of JFK Jr. was whose brutal assessment of his girlfriend was taken seriously.

“Carolyn stared in shock at John as he left and then at the correspondence on the white linen tablecloth.”

‘She had recently said to a friend that one of the main things she liked about John was that ‘he is deliberately down to earth’, so this felt out of character. She read the letter, folded it and put it in her bag. Then she got up and left.”

Carolyn and JFK Jr. – the second child of US President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis – started dating in the early 1990s, and they quickly became one of the most talked about couples in the world.

The couple met when JFK Jr. had an appointment at Calvin Klein’s flagship store in Manhattan, where Bessette worked.

Calvin, his wife Kelly Klein and Calvin’s assistant MJ Bettenhausen agreed that Bessette would join them for the JFK Jr. adaptation.

“John invited her to join his group for a gala dinner,” Bettenhausen told Beller.

When she arrived, JFK Jr. was sitting. with another woman at the table. After the gala, he invited her to an after-party, but she declined, saying, “That’s not possible. I meet people.’

The biography shows Bessette in a different light, as she was previously described as “icy” by headlines.

Caller emphasizes Bessette’s “compassion” as she talks about being there with JFK Jr. urged to call Prince William and Prince Harry after their mother’s death in 1997, but the lawyer refused to answer the phone due to Diana’s extremely public death.

The public already had a huge fascination with the Kennedys, but Bessette’s bold fashion choices and her ability to transform even the simplest looks into a chic ensemble only attracted people even more.

Her shocking and premature death at just 33 years old in a small plane crash in July 1999 alongside JFK Jr and her sister Lauren only added to Bessette’s mystique.

Friends say the couple had serious marital problems and predict the marriage would likely have ended if the crash had not claimed their lives.

In October, Bessette was dubbed a ‘ghost influencer’, with top fashion brands once again praising her simple yet elegant Nineties looks.

The New York Times pointed out that many of Bessette’s style staples — such as pencil skirts, slip dresses, loafers and overcoats — have recently appeared on the runways of New York Fashion Week, while labeling her “the ghost influencer of the season.” ‘

She famously wore a white button-up top tucked into a figure-hugging floor-length black skirt during one of the last appearances she made before her death.

And now several brands – including Peter Do, Dior and Fendi – have shown off similar looks in their latest collections.

In addition, the clothing company Sporty & Rich recreated some of her and JFK Jr.’s most famous paparazzi photos as part of a campaign last month.

“She was minimalist with character—she wasn’t sterile or boring,” Wes Gordon, the creative director of Carolina Herrera, the outlet of Carolyn’s sense of style, told me.
