Aristotle Onassis was bisexual and beat male prostitutes after intercourse
Jackie Kennedy’s second husband, billionaire Aristotle Onassis, was bisexual and ‘savagely beat’ young male prostitutes after sex, a new book reveals.
Onassis — who Jackie married in 1968, five years after her first husband President John F Kennedy was assassinated — also hit Jackie and gave her a ‘black eye’, DailyMail.com columnist Maureen Callahan reveals in a bombshell biography.
In ‘Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed’— which is being published by the Mail in a major new series — Callahan writes of Onassis’s ‘string of bought-and-paid-for young men, some of whom he savagely beat after sex.’
Onassis also liked to humiliate Jackie sexually, Callahan reveals: ‘[He] loved to have sex with her in places where people could see them’, including on airplanes.
Jackie was 39 when she announced her engagement to Onassis, then 62. He had built up the world’s largest private shipping fleet, making him one of the richest men in the world.
Jackie Kennedy’s second husband, billionaire Aristotle Onassis (pictured in 1974), was bisexual and ‘savagely beat’ young male prostitutes after sex, a new book reveals.
Onassis (pictured in 1972) – who Jackie married in 1968, five years after her first husband President John F Kennedy was assassinated – also hit Jackie and gave her a ‘black eye’, DailyMail.com columnist Maureen Callahan reveals in a bombshell biography.
‘Onassis was viewed by high society as a gnome-like vulgarian,’ Callahan writes, ‘His affair with the opera singer Maria Callas was well-known.’
Their engagement was met with global fury, running on the front of the New York Times with the headline: ‘The reaction here is anger, shock and dismay.’
‘The Vatican denounced her,’ Callahan writes, ‘Jackie Kennedy — America’s one-time heroine — would now be talked and written about as nothing more than a prostitute who’d sold herself on the global marketplace.’
Despite the backlash, their wedding went ahead with a carefully drawn up contract containing 170 clauses, including stipulations about how often they would have sex and millions of dollars upfront for Jackie.
At first, Callahan writes, their marriage seemed happy enough, with the couple splitting their time between New York, Onassis’s private Greek island and his yacht.
But over the next two years, their relationship soured, and Callahan says: ‘Onassis became openly contemptuous of his wife; as feared, Jackie was a once-glittering acquisition that had lost its luster. He began to insult Jackie in front of their guests.’
Onassis died in March 1975, making Jackie one of the richest women in the world.
