A bombshell biography penned by DailyMail.com columnist Maureen Callahan has unearthed shocking revelations about the tumultuous marriage between Jackie Kennedy and billionaire Aristotle Onassis.
Titled “Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed,” the book delves into Onassis’s dark and abusive behavior, particularly his violent encounters with young male prostitutes.
Published exclusively by the Mail, the biography paints a disturbing portrait of Onassis’s sexual proclivities and his turbulent relationship with Jackie Kennedy.
Onassis’s Violent Behavior Unveiled
According to Callahan, Onassis maintained a clandestine lifestyle that involved paying for the services of young men whom he would later physically assault.
The book details instances where Onassis allegedly inflicted brutal beatings on male prostitutes following sexual encounters.
This revelation challenges the public perception of Onassis as a wealthy magnate and raises questions about his private life that have long been shielded from public scrutiny.
Sexual Humiliation of Jackie Kennedy
Further complicating their marriage was Onassis’s penchant for sexually humiliating Jackie Kennedy.
Callahan’s biography reveals that Onassis enjoyed engaging in intimate acts with Jackie in public settings, including airplanes, deliberately exposing their private moments to others.
These revelations shed light on the power dynamics within their relationship and the extent of Onassis’s control over Jackie during their tumultuous marriage.
Onassis’s Public Persona
Onassis, known for amassing the world’s largest private shipping fleet and being one of the wealthiest individuals globally, maintained a controversial reputation within high society.
His affair with opera singer Maria Callas was widely publicized, further adding to his notoriety.
Despite his financial success and influence, Onassis was often portrayed unfavorably in the media and faced significant public backlash over his relationship with Jackie Kennedy.
Global Reaction and Controversy
The announcement of Jackie Kennedy’s engagement to Onassis in 1968 sparked international outrage and condemnation. Newspapers, including the New York Times, reported extensively on the public’s shock and dismay at the news.
The Vatican’s denouncement of Jackie further underscored the controversial nature of their union, portraying Jackie as having compromised her once-heroic image in exchange for financial security.
Marriage and Decline
Initially, Onassis and Jackie’s marriage appeared promising, with the couple dividing their time between New York, Onassis’s private island in Greece, and his luxurious yacht.
However, Callahan’s biography depicts a gradual deterioration in their relationship over the following years. Onassis reportedly became increasingly disdainful of Jackie, viewing her as a fading acquisition that no longer held his interest.
His public insults towards Jackie in front of guests marked a stark contrast to the glamorous facade of their early marriage.
Onassis’s Death and Legacy
Aristotle Onassis passed away in March 1975, leaving Jackie Kennedy as one of the wealthiest women in the world.
His death marked the end of a turbulent chapter in Jackie’s life, characterized by financial security but marred by emotional turmoil and public scrutiny.
Callahan’s biography not only sheds light on the complexities of Jackie Kennedy’s marriage to Onassis but also challenges the conventional narratives surrounding their relationship.
Conclusion
Maureen Callahan’s biography offers a compelling exploration of the intimate and often unsettling details behind Jackie Kennedy’s marriage to Aristotle Onassis.
By revealing Onassis’s violent bisexuality and the emotional toll it took on Jackie, the book provides a nuanced perspective on the complexities of power, wealth, and relationships within the world of high society.
The revelations presented in “Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed” invite readers to reconsider their understanding of Jackie Kennedy’s life beyond the glamorous veneer, highlighting the personal sacrifices and challenges she faced in pursuit of stability and security.
