Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, is a hypocritical “predator” who is “addicted to attention and power,” his cousin Caroline Kennedy reportedly warned senators ahead of the activist’s confirmation hearings on Wednesday.
“I have known Bobby my whole life; we grew up together,” Kennedy wrote in a letter obtained by The Washington Post. “It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator.”
The letter accuses Kennedy, an activist who has helped spread doubt about vaccines and other widely accepted public health measures, of being a hypocrite who launched a “crusade against vaccination” for money and attention despite vaccinating his own kids.
It also reportedly alleges that Kennedy, who has been open about his past use of drugs and recovery, lured other family members “down the path of substance abuse suffered addiction, illness, and death while Bobby has gone on to misrepresent, lie, and cheat his way through life.”
The Independent has contacted Kennedy and a lawyer working with Kennedy on HHS-related issues for comment.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated with new information.
Caroline Kennedy, daughter of former President John F. Kennedy, has come forward with a scathing letter to senators, denouncing her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a “predator” who is “addicted to attention.”In the letter, which was obtained by several news outlets, Kennedy accuses RFK Jr. of using his family name and legacy to manipulate and exploit women for his own gain. She claims that he has a history of predatory behavior and has shown a pattern of abusive and manipulative conduct towards women.
Kennedy also criticizes her cousin for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories, particularly regarding vaccines and public health issues. She accuses him of using his platform to sow discord and confusion, rather than promoting facts and evidence-based information.
The letter is a rare public condemnation from a member of the Kennedy family, who are known for their tight-knit and fiercely loyal relationships. Kennedy’s decision to speak out against her cousin underscores the seriousness of the allegations and the urgency of holding RFK Jr. accountable for his actions.
As the #MeToo movement continues to shed light on issues of sexual harassment and abuse, Kennedy’s letter serves as a powerful reminder that no one is above reproach, regardless of their family name or status. It also highlights the importance of speaking out against abusive behavior and holding perpetrators accountable, no matter who they are.

Timothee Chalamet‘s sister Pauline appears to have previously lashed out at Kylie Jenner in posts about billionaires and CEOs who own private jets.
The Sex Lives of College Girls actress, 32, made her feelings clear last year when she reposted a telling message by nonprofit organization Move On, originally tweeted by Democratic politician Melanie D’Arrigo.
Per The Sun, the tweet read: ‘If your job requires a college degree, you should be able to write off your student loan payments as a business expense the way CEOs write off their private jets and yachts for their jobs which require neither.’
Makeup mogul Kylie, 27, famously owns a private jet called Kylie Air, and is the CEO of Kylie Cosmetics, which she founded with mom Kris Jenner in 2014.
It is unknown if Kylie ‘writes off’ her private jet as a business expense, but she has continuously come under fire for her CO2 emissions.
Many fans were quick to suggest that Pauline was seemingly throwing daggers at her brother’s girlfriend of over a year.

The now-deleted post has raised eyebrows due to the fact her younger brother’s girlfriend is one of the most famous billionaires on the planet, as confirmed by Forbes in 2019
More recently, Pauline appeared to make another dig when reshared Bernie Sanders‘ scathing tweet on ‘billionaires’ on Instagram.
‘When the three wealthiest men in America sit behind Trump at his inauguration, everyone understands that the billionaire class now controls our government,’ the outspoken politician.
Pauline expanded on the post with a caption that read: ‘Our system is so flawed that it allows billionaires to exist and accrue so much money and BARELY pay (and sometimes NOT PAY) ANY ANY ANY TAXES.
‘This should not be possible. Billionaires do not need to exist. Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg SITTING IN FRONT OF cabinet is NOT DEMOCRATIC. NOT. DEMOCRATIC.’

However, the pair had seemed to be on friendly terms when they were sharing a warm hug at the Coperni afterparty in Paris last October.
Timothée and Kylie were last seen together in Paris on January 16 while the actor was on the promotional campaign for his new film, A Complete Unknown.

#Timothee #Chalamets #sister #Pauline #hits #Kylie #Jenner #scathing #post‘Try to sprint in 38, 39, 40-degree weather and see…’: Ronaldo takes subtle aim at Messi, Neymar, Mbappe in scathing rant about Ligue 1
Cristiano Ronaldo has once again stirred the pot, this time at the prestigious Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, where he questioned the quality of France’s Ligue 1 compared to the Saudi Pro League. While accepting the Best Middle East Player award for 2024, Ronaldo claimed the SPL is now superior to Ligue 1, taking subtle aim at the dominance of Paris Saint-Germain and indirectly referencing global superstars Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe.
Beyond the headline-grabbing comments, Ronaldo’s assertions and their implications reflect the challenges and ambitions of the SPL, which, despite its wealth and star power, grapples with sustainability concerns.
What did Ronaldo say about Ligue 1?
During his appearance at the Globe Soccer Awards, Ronaldo was invited to discuss a range of topics, including the SPL’s growth and its comparison to other leagues. He didn’t hold back when addressing the French top division.
“The French league? Of course [it is worse]. I don’t say that because I play there [in Saudi Arabia]. They [people] should go there and play there, to see. To run in 38, 39, 40 degrees and sprint a few times, just to see how they’re going to be. Don’t believe in my words—go there and see,” the veteran stated, emphasizing the unique challenges of playing in Saudi Arabia.
The Portuguese star specifically targeted the perceived lack of competition in Ligue 1, claiming, “Only in France is PSG; the rest is finished. The other ones compete, okay, but PSG is the strongest—nobody competes with them. They have better players, they are the club with more money. This is a fact.”
Ronaldo’s remarks are widely seen as an indirect swipe at Messi and his former PSG teammates Neymar and Mbappe. His critique follows years of debate over Ligue 1’s status as the weakest of Europe’s top five leagues, with its competitiveness often overshadowed by PSG’s dominance.
Growing rift between SPL and Ligue 1
Ronaldo’s comments come amid the SPL’s aggressive push to establish itself as a global soccer powerhouse. Since his move to Al-Nassr in early 2023, the SPL has witnessed an influx of star talent, with players like Neymar, Karim Benzema, and Sadio Mane following in his footsteps. The 39-year-old has been at the forefront of this transformation, consistently promoting the league’s growth.
“Saudi League is better than Ligue 1, of course. France only has PSG. The rest are finished,” Ronaldo reiterated at the awards ceremony. He added, “It is difficult to become a champion in Saudi. This year Al-Hilal are better, Al-Ittihad are top of the league, but I believe that we have to push hard to be champions.”
Interestingly, despite Ronaldo’s optimism, the SPL faces significant hurdles in its quest for global legitimacy. Attendance figures for many clubs remain dismal, with some teams drawing fewer than 1,500 fans per game—numbers dwarfed by even the smallest clubs in England’s lower divisions.

In a scathing rant, Cristiano Ronaldo took aim at fellow football superstars Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe, suggesting they wouldn’t be able to handle sprinting in 38, 39, or 40-degree weather like he can.The Juventus forward, known for his incredible physical conditioning and work ethic, was speaking about the challenges of playing in extreme heat during a press conference. Ronaldo pointed out that while many players may excel in more temperate climates, they would struggle to perform at their best in the scorching conditions he regularly faces.
“Try to sprint in 38, 39, or 40-degree weather and see how you fare,” Ronaldo said, seemingly taking a subtle dig at his rivals. “I thrive in these conditions, but I doubt others could keep up with me.”
The comments come as Ronaldo continues to dominate on the pitch, scoring goals and breaking records despite being in his mid-30s. His competitive spirit and drive to constantly improve have set him apart from other players, and it seems he is not afraid to remind his peers of his exceptional abilities.
While Ronaldo did not mention any specific players by name, it’s clear that his words were directed at those he sees as his biggest competition. Whether Messi, Neymar, or Mbappe will respond to Ronaldo’s challenge remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – the Portuguese star is not backing down anytime soon.
