EXCLUSIVE: NO KENNEDYS INVITED TO KENNEDY CENTER HONORS
"THIS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT"
Darlings, let me start with the line my source hissed into the phone before their coffee even cooled:
“Rob, not a single Kennedy was invited. Not one. And let me be clear — this was NOT an accident.”
Yes, you read that right. RFK Jr., Cheryl Hines, and the entire Kennedy clan were intentionally left off the guest list for the Kennedy Center Honors.
Another insider spelled it out bluntly:
“Trump didn’t want them there. Full stop.”
And because subtlety has never been his brand, a third source whispered the cherry on top:
“He’s even toying with renaming the Kennedy Center after himself.”
Meanwhile, RFK Jr. and Cheryl Hines have been laying low, as one source delicately put it:
“After the Olivia Nuzzi week from hell, they knew showing up would’ve been a disaster. But the truth is, they weren’t invited anyway.”
The result? Trump got what he wanted. Camelot got the cold shoulder. And Washington served us another perfectly petty chapter.
So, darlings, take note: in the world of high stakes and higher drama, if you’re going to be naughty, you’ve got to be nice.
Cheers,
ROB SHUTER
Taste took the evening off on December 7, 2025. Soiled, suntan-colored, repurposed nylon stockings filled with brown lentils were substituted for the faces and necks of every attendee photographed at the Kennedy Center Honors. Navy-blue ribbon was substituted for the rainbow stripes formerly rocked by honorees. No Kennedys or Hyannis-adjacent guests were bored, harmed by this landmark D.C. regrouping.
