In the soon-to-be-released book “White House by the Sea,” author Kate Storey sheds light on an intriguing incident involving the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her Cape Cod garden. According to an excerpt obtained by Town & Country, around 1975, Kennedy’s assistant, Kathy McKeon, noticed some unusual activity in the garden that caught her attention. Suspecting something amiss, she alerted former police chief Jack Dempsey, who often visited the property with the Secret Service.
To their surprise, McKeon and Dempsey discovered that marijuana was growing in Kennedy’s garden. This revelation shocked the former first lady when McKeon informed her about it. Her immediate concern was to keep this matter discreet and prevent any unwanted exposure. “Are you kidding me? Oh my God, this can’t get out. How are we going to fix this?,” Kennedy exclaimed.
McKeon facilitated a meeting between Onassis and Dempsey, where the former police chief suggested a solution. “Just ignore it… we’ll pull it,” he assured her. Relieved by Dempsey’s proposed course of action, Kennedy responded, “Good… I don’t want this to get out.”
Following their discussion, Dempsey and the Secret Service promptly eradicated the marijuana plant from the garden. Notably, neither of Onassis’ children, Caroline and John, were believed to be involved in planting the illicit substance.
Representatives for Caroline Kennedy and the John F. Kennedy Foundation have yet to comment on the allegations presented in the book. However, it is worth mentioning that the book delves into various accounts of the Kennedy family’s life in their sanctuary in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. The Kennedys frequented this peaceful haven, particularly during the summers. Even after President John F. Kennedy’s tragic death in 1963 and her second husband Aristotle Onassis’ passing in 1975, Jacqueline Kennedy continued to visit.
Onassis cherished the time spent on Cape Cod and often extended invitations to her extended family. According to the book, the beloved former first lady enjoyed sunbathing in the nude and pursuing her passion for painting in her sunroom.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, fondly known as “Jackie O,” passed away in 1994. She was preceded in death by both her husbands and her newborn son, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy.
