It's April 7th. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, where pop culture meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. A new biography on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is dropping diary entries that expose the rough patches in his marriage to Mary Richardson Kennedy Wright before her death in 2012. The 72-year-old politician admitted in those pages to his own self-destructive habits, even while having a stunning wife, kids, family, support, money, smarts, health, and a career he dug. He first locked eyes with Mary in 1993, already hitched to his initial wife Emily Black, but they were on the rocks. When Mary got pregnant, he divorced quick and tied the knot with her in April 1994. Still, he confessed to chasing thrills outside the marriage, always craving more no matter what he had. Mary's boiled over in their Bedford, New York spot, especially during a messy home reno that dragged in crowds and killed their privacy. Mary handled raising the kids under that glare, but by Mother's Day 2010, Kennedy told

her divorce was coming. Cobb showed her multiple times for family blowups, and she faced the drunk driving bus soon after. He filed papers May 12th that year, and the split got nasty with those incidents thrown in her face. Two years later, on May 16th, 2012, Mary was found hanged in the garage, no public note, and the medical report raised eyebrows with. Her fingers snagged in the noose, leaving some docks questioning her intent. These revelations from the book painted a raw look at Kennedy's personal chaos as he moved on, linking up with Cheryl Hines in 2011 and, marrying her in 2014, reminding us how private demons can shadow public lives.
