Kennedy grandson Jack Schlossberg mocks grandma Jacqueline Onassis' pain over former prez's alleged affair in unhinged post
Schlossberg took a video of a People magazine cover from July 7 featuring his grandmother standing behind his grandfather, John F. Kennedy, with the headline 'Jackie Knew Everything.'
The 32-year-old Kennedy scion captioned the post, 'Jackie was right about everything,' alluding to the former first lady knowing about her husband's alleged affair with pop culture icon Marilyn Monroe.

Jackie allegedly knew about JFK's long-rumored relationship with Monroe and confronted him about it while he was in office, according to People.
J. Randy Taraborrelli — the author of a new biography on the 35th president, 'JFK: Public, Private, Secret' — alleges that Jackie once told Kennedy, 'This one's different, Jack. This one worries me.'

'That's from somebody who was right there in the White House who overheard that conversation,' Taraborrelli told the outlet. 'It was reported to me 25 years ago, when I was writing an earlier book, Jackie, Ethel and Joan.'
While the affair between the sex symbol and former president has been long-rumored, Taraborrelli claimed Jackie 'didn't know if JFK was involved with her or not. She just assumed it. What I do know is after Marilyn died, Jackie was bereft.'
Schlossberg is the only grandson of Jackie, who died of cancer in 1994 at age 64, and JFK, who was assassinated in 1963 at 43.

Jackie Kennedy, who took the name Onassis after marrying Greek business magnate Aristotle Onassis in 1968, was considered one of the most stylish and distinguished first ladies ever, and during her time, was a media magnet — with newspapers, magazines, and TV obsessively trying to cover every aspect of her life.
This isn't the first time Schlossberg has made a bizarre comment about his grandmother.
Following the 2025 inauguration, the Harvard grad questioned whether Vice President JD Vance's wife, Usha Vance, was 'hotter' than his grandmother.

'True or false: Usha Vance is way hotter than Jackie O?' he asked his followers on X back in January.
After being slammed for his bizarre question, Schlossberg admitted he was a 'literal pervert' in a follow-up post.
'I called my grandmother hot … have I totally lost it? Jesus … this kid will do anything for attention. Your grandfather would be ashamed. Seriously. Time to get a job,' he wrote.
Schlossberg left many of his followers concerned, with some even telling the 32-year-old to 'seek help.'

Similar to his late grandfather, Schlossberg has held progressive and left-leaning political views.

American Eagle Releases Statement Over Sydney Sweeney Controversy
Sydney Sweeney recently played a central role in a new marketing campaign from American Eagle. While many Sweeney fans were amused by the campaign, there was ultimately some backlash regarding her involvement, and now American Eagle has issued a statement regarding the Sydney Sweeney controversy. It appears that the controversy began with an advertisement where Sydney Sweeney, who has blonde hair and blue eyes, had the following dialogue: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue.' This led some critics to suggest that the advertisement was making a nod to eugenics or Nazi propaganda, particularly because of Sweeney's blonde hair and blue eyes and the consistent reference to 'great jeans,' aka 'great genes.' While Sweeney, who has also collaborated with Dr. Squatch, has yet to respond to the controversy at the time of this writing, American Eagle has issued a statement on Instagram. It's a statement that takes a rather light perspective on the situation. Here's what they shared: ''Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans,' the statement begins. 'Her jeans Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way,' AE continues. 'Great jeans look good on everyone.' Of course, not everyone is happy with the statement on Instagram, with some critics believing that it's not serious enough based on the gravity of the situation. Others feel as though the situation is only being perceived as serious and that it's simply an ad campaign for jeans with a sense of humor. Either way, it's a debacle that has gotten just about everyone involved, including the White House. We'll have to see where the reception of the Sydney Sweeney collaboration with American Eagle goes next, but this is certainly one way for the label to continue their campaign with the same spirit that started it.

Nancy Meyers Reacts With Surprise to News of 'The Holiday' Limited Series
THE RUNDOWN On August 1, it was reported that Nancy Meyers's 2006 film The Holiday was in development as a limited series for Apple TV+ by Deadline. But it looks like Meyers had no idea about the new show and was quick to comment on the production in an Instagram Story. Sharing a screenshot of a report on The Holiday series, Meyers wrote over it, 'News to me. Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw.' Here's everything we know about the project so far. In the original film, two women trade homes in the U.K. countryside and Los Angeles after struggling with their personal lives. Amanda Woods is a Hollywood trailer editor who ends her engagement and Iris is a newspaper columnist stuck in a rut. After trading spaces, Amanda meets Iris's widower brother, Graham, and surprises herself by reconnecting emotionally to love. Iris meets Amanda's neighbor, Arthur, a forgotten Hollywood icon, and then meets a film composer named Miles; both men help her transform. The series will likely be some version of Meyers's original story, keeping 'the setup of the movie about a single American and single British woman living very different lives who swap their houses for the holidays and find love in the process.' The original cast included Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black, but Deadline stated the show will feature 'new characters,' and thus new actors. But maybe we can hope for a cameo? Krissie Ducker is serving as the writer and executive producer for The Holiday series, along with comedian Rob Delaney as a consultant on the script. Not yet. This post will be updated.
