CAROLINE KENNEDY furious at her clan’s “organized-crime family” antics, turns into a one-woman riot squad!
REELING from the recent drug-related bust of her cousin Kerry, a furious Caroline Kennedy is feuding with relatives more than ever, accusing them of dragging the once-hallowed family name through the mud.
Kerry, the 52-year-old daughter of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy, made headlines when she was arrested in New York for allegedly driving under the influence of drugs after she hit a tractor-trailer and fled the scene, say authorities.
The Kennedy family immediately tried to influence the case by ordering their own battery of tests to show that Kerry was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Despite a fervent denial, police lab tests showed Kerry was under the influence of Ambien., a powerful sleep narcotic.
“They act like some organized-crime family,” fumed a law enforcement source. “They come out playing hardball with bare knuckles.”
And Caroline is up in arms!
“The bust is the latest in a series of crazy public meltdowns, and Caroline is determined to rein in her family to save their name,” said an insider.
“She read Kerry the riot act and is calling the family together to lecture them on cleaning up their act. She’s furious that some of them don’t seem to care about future generations of Kennedys, who she hopes will go on to do great things like her dad JFK and Kerry’s father.”
Kerry’ headline making accident comes weeks after her cousin Bobby Kennedy Jr.’s wife Mary committed suicide and then he dug up her corpse to remove it from the family plot.
“She was sad and sickened at the news,” said the source. “
She’d tried to counsel them both and was rebuffed.
“Caroline feels the family is at its lowest point ever. Being compared to a crime family is the saddest, most disgraceful thing she has ever heard, and she is hopping mad.”
