John F Kennedy Got Flight Attendant Pregnant, Paid for Abortion: Bombshell Book Claims

  • A new biography by J. Randy Taraborrelli, titled 'JFK: Public, Private, Secret', claims John F. Kennedy impregnated flight attendant Joan Lundberg and paid for her abortion just months after his daughter Caroline's birth.
  • The affair began in 1956 when Senator Kennedy met 23-year-old Joan, a single mother and Frontier Airlines flight attendant, and the pregnancy news came two years later amid his political rise.
  • Kennedy told Joan he owed her much, wired $400 to cover an abortion, urged her 'You'll know what to do,' and she later took care of it despite feeling angry, disappointed, and realistic.
  • JFK doubted paternity and was unhinged after a delay in money transfer, but Joan assured him he was the father, while Jackie knew of the affair but not the pregnancy or abortion.
  • The biography reveals tensions in their relationship and suggests these events highlight Kennedy's complex private life, impacting historical views of his presidency and personal conduct.
