Kick Kennedy, RFK Jr.’s daughter, shared this latest Kennedy tale in a 2012 magazine article. According to her account, when she was a child in the 1990s, a dead whale washed ashore near the Kennedy family’s Cape Cod, Massachusetts compound.
RFK Jr. then reportedly decapitated the whale with a chainsaw, secured the animal’s head on the roof of his car and drove it five hours back to New York with his children. Allegedly, the fluids from the carcass leaked into the vehicle during the drive.
This has all resurfaced again not just due to renewed public interest in RFK Jr. following his participation in the 2024 presidential race, but also because of reports about his daughter’s personal life. Kick Kennedy recently made headlines for her alleged association with Ben Affleck, fresh off his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. The rumors gave the whale story new life after it was again rehashed in an article from The Cut.
Meanwhile, the Center for Biological Diversity requested a federal investigation by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) into Kennedy’s actions concerning the dead whale.
The environmental organization is concerned that what Kennedy is said to have done may violate several laws, including those related to the Endangered Species Act and safeguards against transporting illegally gathered wildlife remains across state lines.

SHE RECOUNTED HOW AS A CHILD IN THE 1990s, A DEAD WHALE HAD WASHED UP ONSHORE NEAR THE KENNEDY COMPOUND IN CAPE COD, MASSACHUSETTS.
HER FATHER THEN WENT OUT WITH A CHAINSAW, DECAPITATED THE WHALE, TIED THE HEAD TO THE ROOF OF HIS CAR, AND DROVE FIVE HOURS BACK TO THEIR FAMILY HOME IN NEW YORK WITH HIS CHILDREN- ALL WHILE FLUIDS FROM THE DEAD ANIMAL WOULD POUR INTO THE WINDOWS OF THE VEHICLE ANYTIME THEY SPED UP.
THIS IS ALL COMING TO LIGHT AGAIN 12 YEARS AFTER IT WAS FIRST MENTIONED NOT JUST BECAUSE OF RFK’S PARTICIPATION IN THE 2024 ELECTION…
BUT ALSO DUE TO RUMORS ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER’S LOVE LIFE- WITH THE CUT RECENTLY PUBLISHING A STORY ABOUT KICK KENNEDY’S PAST AFTER SHE WAS SPOTTED OUT WITH BEN AFFLECK, FRESH OFF HIS DIVORCE WITH JENNIFER LOPEZ.
MEANWHILE, THE CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY HAS ASKED THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION TO INVESTIGATE KENNEDY OVER THE INCIDENT.
CITING A NUMBER OF LAWS HE MAY HAVE BROKEN BY DOING THIS- INCLUDING THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT AND SAFEGUARDS AGAINST TRANSPORTING ILLEGALLY GATHERED WILDLIFE REMAINS ACROSS STATE LINES.
