The Forgotten Story Of Rosemary Kennedy, Who Was Lobotomized So That JFK Could Succeed

Though John F. Kennedy and Jackie might be the most recognizable members of the family, the Kennedys were famous long before John became president.

Their father, Joe Kennedy Sr., was a prominent businessman in Boston and his wife, Rose, was a noted philanthropist and socialite. Together they had nine children, three of whom went into politics. For the most part they lived their lives in the open, almost like America’s version of a royal family.

But, like every family, they had their secrets.

Born in 1918, Rosemary Kennedy was the third child of Joe and Rose and the first girl. During her birth, the obstetrician who was supposed to be delivering her was running late. Not wanting to deliver the baby without a doctor present, the nurse reached up into Rose’s birth canal and held the baby in place.

The actions of the nurse would have lasting consequences for Rosemary Kennedy. The lack of oxygen delivered to her brain during her birth caused lasting damage to her brain, resulting in a mental deficiency.

Though she looked like the rest of the Kennedys, with bright eyes and dark hair, her parents knew she was different right away.

As a child, Rosemary was unable to keep up with her siblings, who would often play ball in the yard, or run around the neighborhood. Her lack of inclusion often caused “fits,” which were later discovered to be seizures or episodes relating to her mental illness.

However, in the 1920s mental illness was highly stigmatized. Fearing repercussions if her daughter couldn’t keep up, Rose pulled Rosemary out of school and instead hired a tutor to teach the girl from home. Eventually, she sent her to a boarding school, in lieu of institutionalizing her.

In 1928, Joe was named an ambassador to the Court of St. James in England. The entire family moved across the Atlantic and was presented at court to the public. Despite her disabilities, Rosemary joined the family for the presentation.

Of course, no one knew the extent of her disability, as the Kennedys had worked hard to keep it quiet.

In England, Rosemary gained a sense of normalcy, as she had been placed in a Catholic school run by nuns. With the time and patience to teach her, they were training her to be a teacher’s aide and she was flourishing under their guidance.

However, in 1940, when Germany marched on Paris, the Kennedys were forced back to the states, and Rosemary’s education was abandoned. Once back stateside, Rose placed Rosemary in a convent, though it didn’t last long. According to the nuns, Rosemary would sneak out at night and go to bars, meet strange men and go home with them.

At the same time, Joe was grooming his two oldest boys for a career in politics. Rose and Joe worried that Rosemary’s behavior could create a bad reputation not just for herself but for the whole family, and eagerly searched for something that would help her.Dr. Walter Freeman was the answer.Freeman, along with his associate Dr. James Watts had been researching a neurological procedure that was said to cure the physically and mentally disabled. The procedure? The lobotomy.

When it was first introduced, the lobotomy was hailed as a cure-all and was widely recommended by physicians. Despite the excitement, however, there were many warnings that the lobotomy, though occasionally effective, was also destructive. One woman described her daughter, a recipient, as being the same person on the outside, but like a new human on the inside.

Despite the warnings, Joe needed no convincing, as it seemed like this was the Kennedy family’s last hope. Years later, Rose would claim that she had no knowledge of the procedure until it had already happened. No one thought to ask if Rosemary had any thoughts of her own.

In 1941, when she was 23 years old, Rosemary Kennedy received a lobotomy. Two holes were drilled in her skull, through which small metal spatulas were inserted. The spatulas were used to sever the link between the pre-frontal cortex and the rest of the brain. Though it is not known whether he did so on Rosemary, Dr. Freeman would often insert an icepick through the patient’s eye to sever the link as well as the spatula.

Throughout the entire procedure, Rosemary was awake, speaking with doctors and reciting poems to nurses. They knew the procedure was over when she stopped speaking.

Immediately after the procedure, the Kennedys realized that something was wrong.

Rosemary could no longer speak or walk. She was moved to an institution and spent months in physical therapy before she regained movement, and even then it was only partially in one arm.

Rosemary Kennedy spent 20 years in the institution, unable to speak, walk, or see her family. It wasn’t until after Joe suffered a massive stroke that Rose went to go see her daughter again. In a panicked rage, Rosemary attacked her mother, unable to express herself any other way.

This article discusses JFK’s long history of infidelity, reporting that he cheated sexually on his wife Jackie Kennedy countless times with a long list of women, including Marilyn Monroe, his 19-year-old White House intern Mimi Alford, his 2 secretaries Priscilla Wear and Jill Cowan (nicknamed “Fiddle and Faddle” by the Secret Service), Jackie Kennedy’s press secretary Pamela Turnure, and Jackie Kennedy’s own sister Lee. JFK also used his special assistant Dave Powers to procure and hunt down new young women at destinations and events that JFK would be attending.

It’s interesting because JFK is heralded by liberals as a hero, but his shifty womanizing/cheating sex predator history is often completely brushed under the rug.

If these cheating events happened today, JFK would likely be torched by the media and treated as a #MeToo villain. It is unclear why Jackie Kennedy never divorced him, even when JFK allegedly tried to commit her to a mental institution for calling out his cheating. I am under the impression that she may have felt that she was held hostage by the political name/branding of the marriage.

Also she belonged to the group of women groomed to be the wife of someone rich and successful. They lived for money and status. Without those they felt worthless. Look who she married after. Another horrible man. She could have had anyone. She could have stayed single. Raising her kids as a widow and nobody would have said a word. She would have been independent and respected. Instead… Ultimately she was a byproduct of her social circle.

Edited to add: He was groomed also to be who he became. His whole family was behind him. They wouldn’t let a “silly” woman or some little indiscretions- like sleeping with whom ever that had a pulse- ruin their reputation and dreams of being in top. We don’t know what went on behind closed doors. And he was ugly in my opinion. When they call him handsome I am ?!????!???what?!??????

I loathe JFK the way I loathe a slug in my house and I loathe his golden reputation even more. He was nothing but an overgrown rich boy with a bad back, poor sexual self control and a tendency toward cruelty and callousness and predatory opportunism with women. Solve the Cuban missile crisis? It likely wouldn't have escalated to the point it did if he hadn't been on his chauvinistic bullshit, the whole thing was avoidable. Civil rights? Not on board until he was politically forced to be. I'm far from being a conservative make no mistake... man's just a disgrace, and people that still simp for him need to get some perspective.

If Jackie were blonde he'd be cheating on her with all brunettes

JFK was an absolute slag, but Jackie did not marry him because she loved him. She married him for his money and social status. Whilst she put up with a lot of JFK's rubbish, she was not a passive housewife. She was extremely calculating in terms of her relationships and she ended up marrying into a family with significant social standing and wealth (at the time). After Ari Onassis' death, she managed to secure herself a hefty payout from his estate. She ended up living an extremely comfortable life whilst pursuing one of her passions part-time which was editing. The Kennedys are the real losers in all this.

Off topic. But who said women weren't funny was sorely mistaken🤣

Shocking! Politician has numerous affairs with dozens of women, more breaking news at 6.

Please can we not link an extremely misogynistic , racist, homophobic rag like the Mail here.. American friends: they are worse than Fox News.

I have a friend who, years ago, made this big long Facebook post about how Jackie is her idol, the epitome of strong womanhood, etc. I was like... Uhhhh... She's the biggest pickme IN THE WORLD. How embarrassing to live with the knowledge that everyone sees you kowtowing to such a philandering pig. It didn't go over well.🤷

Edit: I agree that it was a very different time back then and she had fewer accepted options. But she was from a wealthy family and had money of her own. Real strength would've been to leave and send the message that women do not have to put up with shoddy treatment. If she were alive and in the same situation today, I like to think that's exactly what she'd do.

Lol at “the most exciting seven minutes of my life”

So many women worship Marilyn-no wonder we have a generation of pickme's. Her roles in films are at best cringe dumb blonde sex bot roles. Then she wondered why people didn't respect her. Apparently she was "besotted" with JFK after he played with her for a weekend.
She reportedly wrote to Jackie telling her that she intended to become First Lady.

Fine, Jackie replied: 'Marry him. I'll move out and you'll have all the problems.'

Jackie is the goat.
