Kennedy Clan's New Outsiders: RFK Jr. and Jack Schlossberg Left Off July 4 List

Victoria Kennedy (pictured in Boston in May, 2017), Ted Kennedy's wife, commented underneath the video confirmed that every family member was invited, but some had other plans to attend

KENNEDY FAMILY DRAMA: Jack Schlossberg's Descent into Madness and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Anti-Vaxxer Meltdown

The Kennedy clan, America's most iconic and influential family, gathered at their Hyannis Port estate in Massachusetts for their annual Fourth of July bash. But amidst the patriotic fervor, two scandal-plagued members were noticeably absent: Jack Schlossberg, JFK's only grandson, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been shunned by his own family due to his anti-vaccine views.

Jack's Descent into Madness

The Kennedy clan gathered at their Hyannis Port compound for their annual Independence Day celebration - but Schlossberg and RFK Jr. were notably absent

While his relatives celebrated with flags and cheer, 32-year-old Schlossberg was busy posting a bizarre Instagram reel that has left many questioning his sanity. Wearing a shaved head, gaming headset, and an "I heart EU" T-shirt, he launched into an awkward mix of patriotism, revisionist history, and self-correction.

"Halo and happy Fourth of July," he began, before veering off on a tangent about the importance of European allies in America's founding. "This country wouldn't be anything without our European friends... We needed their help to stand up to the great British Empire." He added, "So on this 4th of July, I'm celebrating my own country... Of course, I am."

The video was met with an overwhelmingly positive response from fans, who praised Schlossberg's message and humor. But critics say his behavior has been increasingly erratic, and that he has become a full-time internet troll.

Schlossberg's War on Megyn Kelly

Just days before the Fourth of July celebration, Schlossberg launched a grotesque attack on journalist Megyn Kelly, labeling her "despicable" in a tweet. He then deleted his social media accounts after being accused of having a breakdown. But when Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan wrote about his behavior, Schlossberg lashed out again – telling both Callahan and Kelly to "eat s" and referring to the writer as "Maureen V**."

RFK Jr.'s Anti-Vaxxer Meltdown

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been at odds with his own family for years over his anti-vaccine views, was noticeably absent from the celebration. His son, Schlossberg, has lashed out at RFK Jr. in a series of unhinged posts, calling him a "liar," a "predator," and a "guru shaman figure." In one bizarre post, he challenged his uncle to a one-on-one fight, writing: "Me and you, one-on-one, locked in a room, we hash this out. Nobody comes out until one of us has autism."

Schlossberg's Failed Attempt at Credibility

After graduating from Harvard Law School in 2022, Schlossberg was hired as a "political correspondent" for Vogue. But the role quickly fizzled, with him publishing only a handful of vague columns before disappearing from the magazine's pages.

Murphy's Response to Schlossberg's Drama

When Ryan Murphy shared photos of the lead actors in his new show about John F. Kennedy Jr., Schlossberg jumped into the comments again – writing: "HEY RYAN — admiration for John is great but maybe consider DONATING PROFITS TO THE KENNEDY LIBRARY thanks." Murphy replied, "@jackuno I absolutely will."

The Question on Everyone's Mind

As the Kennedy family gathered at their Hyannis Port estate to celebrate America's birthday, one question lingered: what was really going on with Jack Schlossberg and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? Were they shunned by their own family for good reason, or are we seeing a manufactured drama?

The Bottom Line

The Kennedy clan may have celebrated Independence Day in style, but the real fireworks were happening behind closed doors – between two of its most scandal-plagued members. As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the Kennedys will always be America's favorite family – for better or worse.
