Clash of Titans: Inside the Kennedy Family Feud

KENNEDY SHOCKER! Family's New Power Queen, Kerry Kennedy Cuomo, Bans Brother Bobby Jr. and Cousin Jack Schlossberg from Independence Day Party

In a dramatic turn of events, the Kennedys' "Royal Family" has a new queen, quietly anointed by Ethel Kennedy herself before her passing last year. And that queen is none other than Kerry Kennedy Cuomo, 65, the seventh-born child of Ethel and Senator Robert F. Kennedy. This stunning development comes as the family gathers at their iconic compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, for their annual Independence Day celebration.

But behind the scenes, a power struggle has been brewing. Insiders reveal that Kerry, a devoted Biden supporter like her mother, has "icily blacklisted" her brother Bobby Jr., head of the Department of Health and Human Services under Trump, from the festivities. And it's not just Bobby who's being kept out in the cold – Kerry has also banned her despised second-cousin, Jack Schlossberg, JFK's only grandson, due to his "unhinged" social media rants and attacks on certain family members.

Kerry, a proud Joe Biden backer and Ethel¿s favorite of her 11 children, has already publicly disowned Bobby in public and blacklisted him from attending any extravagant Kennedy events

Schlossberg, a 32-year-old Yale law school graduate with no known occupation, has been at the center of the drama. He wasted no time making an inexplicable attack on one of the Kennedy family's most beloved members: His late grandmother Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis. In a curious Instagram post, Schlossberg appeared on tape holding up the cover of People magazine featuring Jackie standing behind JFK with the headline "Jackie Knew Everything." The post sparked rumors of an affair between JFK and Marilyn Monroe, which had long been whispered about.

But Schlossberg's feud with his family didn't stop there. He also attacked his second cousin Bobby Jr.'s health issues, calling him a "p*k" in one foul-mouthed Instagram video. And things only got worse when he mocked Bobby's neurological disorder, spasmodic dysphonia, in a social media post he later deleted.

The drama didn't stop there – Schlossberg also launched an attack on popular conservative news personality Megyn Kelly after she branded him and his mother "disgusting." He even went as far as to call his cousin Bobby Jr. a "guru shaman figure" who runs a cult, declaring him a "f*ing liar."

Both Bobby and Kerry's other nemesis, JFK's only grandson Jack Schlossberg, were both absent from the family's annual 4th of July bash at their compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts

Meanwhile, Caroline Kennedy, Jack's mother and former US ambassador to Australia and Japan, jumped on the bandwagon by attacking her cousin Bobby Jr. in a public letter to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. She urged members to reject his HHS nomination, calling him unqualified and referring to him as a "predator."

But Kerry Kennedy Cuomo has been busy solidifying her position as the new power queen of the Kennedys. Insiders reveal that she's been working on a forthcoming book about her mother Ethel's life, with the working title "Ethel: Faith, Hope, Family, and an Extraordinary American Life." The book is said to be an intimate portrait of Ethel's remarkable life.

As the family drama unfolds, one thing is clear – Kerry Kennedy Cuomo has taken control, and she's not afraid to use her power. In a shocking move, she even banned her brother Bobby Jr. from the family's Independence Day celebration, leaving him feeling "bereft, insulted, heartbroken and p**sed" for himself and his actress wife Cheryl Hines.

While the rest of the Kennedys celebrated, 32-year-old Jack Schlossberg, best known for his bizarre antics and family-bashing online rants, popped up on Instagram sporting a shaved head, gaming headset and an 'I heart EU' t-shirt

The Kennedys have always been known for their liberal Democratic politics, numerous tragedies, and horrific scandals over decades. But now, they've taken a page from the Kardashian playbook – publicly feuding and virtually blood-letting in front of the world.
