Marilyn Monroe’s most notorious film has never been seen — after footage of her having sex with John F. Kennedy mysteriously vanished after being offered up for auction in 2014! The tape of the sex film was estimated to be worth at least $10 million — with the movie reportedly capturing a sex romp that included Marilyn, JFK and his brother Robert Kennedy! Reportedly shot on 8mm home-movie film, the reel was owned by memorabilia collector and former celebrity bodyguard David Castleberry. The kinky footage, he insisted, “is real,” adding: “I had it for years,” adding: “I never released it out of respect for Joe DiMaggio,” the baseball legend who had a volatile marriage with Marilyn. Get the shocking inside story of the lost political bombshell, and then click here for more bizarre tales of Hollywood’s top sex scandals…

But the footage suddenly disappeared amid strange circumstances. Castleberry had run into financial trouble while paying installments on a $200,000 legal judgment. When he couldn't afford a $90,000 balloon payment, said Castleberry, "the sheriff came in and seized the sex tape and all of my other memorabilia I have been collecting my entire life." The raid meant that the sizzling film was set to be auctioned by the Tulare County Sheriff in California.

The film would have confirmed decades of Washington and West Coast whispers that Marilyn, who
died mysteriously at age 36 in 1962,
had extramarital affairs with both Kennedy brothers — and
even Teddy Kennedy! Hollywood private eye Fred Otash had already admitted to spying on JFK and Monroe during their romance, and he claimed to have made an alleged audio sex tape of the lover — and had heard Marilyn complain that she was "passed around like a piece of meat" by the brothers.

But just hours before the bidding began, the auction was canceled — after Castleberry's debt was mysteriously paid. His attorneys said they had no idea who made the very generous gesture. An insider then told
The National ENQUIRER that members of the Kennedy family believed that
Caroline Kennedy may have put down money to stop the auction.

"The word was Caroline would gladly pay a fortune to ensure a nasty sex tape of her dad doesn't wind up on the internet," said a family insider. "Years ago, Caroline's mom, Jackie, made both her and her brother, John, promise they would always do anything and everything they could to protect their dad's memory. She has worked all her adult life to preserve the legacy of her dad and stamp out any damaging diaries or tapes that would muddy his reputation."

Caroline was also trying to repair her own reputation in 2014, as well — with
Barack Obama selecting her
as ambassador to Japan after being mocked for seeking a 2008 political appointment to the Senate to replace
Hillary Clinton, who had been appointed Secretary of State. "I can tell you she would be the right person to cover up embarrassing history about her dad," said the insider, adding that she'd be continuing a family tradition!

"It was a big fear of
Ted Kennedy," said the insider. "He discreetly let it be known years ago that he would willingly pay big money to buy and burn any tape...I would bet that if Caroline has anything to do with it, no sex tape of her father will ever surface!"
