Monroe, in her frustration, decided to fight back with a risky move. She threatened to expose the secrets she claimed were shared during intimate moments with the Kennedys. This decision would prove to be her undoing, especially since she alleged that these secrets included classified state information. Imagine her sitting in a room with the President of the United States, and he whispers something so sensitive, it could change the course of history.
Secrets Shared in the Shadows
According to author and Hollywood historian Bill Birnes, Monroe claimed that during her time with President Kennedy, he whispered classified state secrets to her. For instance, she threatened to go public with the information that the CIA was planning to assassinate Cuban President Fidel Castro. Can you imagine the fallout if this information had been revealed? Monroe believed she had leverage, but instead, she found herself in a dangerous game where she was now the hunted, not the hunter.
A Dangerous Turn of Events
Monroe was mistaken if she thought her relationship with the Kennedys gave her leverage. In reality, she had turned two of the most powerful men in the country into her adversaries. Worse still, infamous mobster Sam Giancana saw Monroe as a weapon to be used against the Kennedys. The Mafia viewed her affair with both brothers as an opportunity to bring down the President and the Attorney General of the United States. Actor Gianni Russo noted that there was a theory the Mob killed her because they wanted to destroy the Kennedys, who were working to dismantle organized crime.
The Final Mistake
As Monroe's world spiraled out of control, she attempted to regain control. But her most fatal mistake may have been keeping a secret diary. In this diary, she recorded intimate details about her relationships with several celebrities, including her affair with President Kennedy. Monroe feared for her life, and the diary became a coveted prize, never to be found to this day.
