The Marilyn Monroe Rumor: JFK or RFK as the Father

For decades, rumors have circulated that Marilyn Monroe was pregnant at the time of her death, and that either President John F. Kennedy or his brother Robert F. Kennedy may have been the father. These speculations have captured the public imagination, fueling endless discussions and debates. However, recent investigations, medical evidence, and historical facts provide a clearer picture of what truly happened.

Medical Evidence: Marilyn Monroe's Health

One of the core rumors circulating about Marilyn Monroe is that she was pregnant at the time of her death. However, there is significant medical evidence to disprove this claim. Monroe suffered from endometriosis, a condition that can make it extremely difficult to carry a pregnancy to term. Multiple medical records and personal accounts have consistently highlighted her struggles with this condition. Her body was unable to carry a child to full term, which rules out the possibility of her being pregnant in her final days.

No Evidence of Affairs

Another aspect of the rumors is the suggestion that Monroe had affairs with both John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. However, historians and biographers have meticulously examined the available evidence, and there is no concrete evidence to support these claims. Monroe never had an 'affair' with either Kennedy. Her relationship with President Kennedy was limited to a few social occasions, including a brief appearance at his 45th birthday party. These encounters were typically surrounded by other people, ensuring that Monroe and the President remained in a communal setting rather than being alone together.

No Political Motivations

The idea that John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy could have fathered Monroe's child is somewhat laughable when one considers the political and personal contexts of the time. John F. Kennedy's reputation rested on his perceived hyper masculine qualities rather than moral character. Moreover, the political influence and the pervasive culture of the time made it highly unlikely that such a scandal would have gone unreported or uninvestigated if it were true. Monroe's decision-making and actions in such a scenario would have been more aligned with her persona as a glamorous and savvy actress, rather than filing a paternity suit. Her previous marriages and relationships also cast doubt on such a claim.

The Official Autopsy Report

The official autopsy report, conducted by Coroner Thomas Nogouchi, provides concrete evidence of the manner of Monroe's death. According to the report, her death was attributed to a combination of sleeping pills and barbiturates. There is nothing in the report that suggests that her death was the result of another's hand. Coroner Nogouchi, who was highly experienced, would have noted any signs of pregnancy if they were present. The absence of any mention of pregnancy in the autopsy report further solidifies the belief that Monroe was not pregnant at the time of her death.

Conclusion

The speculation around Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys is rooted in a combination of romantic and political fantasies. While these rumors continue to captivate the public imagination, the reality is that there is no substantial evidence to support the claims of an affair or the suggestion that either President Kennedy fathered Marilyn Monroe's child. The available medical evidence, historical context, and official records provide a clear and definitive answer to these persistent questions.
