EXCLUSIVE: PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER BLOWS OFF MET GALA BOYCOTT CALLS FROM JFK’S GRANDSON
“He doesn’t care what Jack says — Patrick’s a star now,” insider spills
The Kennedy family may pride itself on unity, but Patrick Schwarzenegger clearly didn’t get the memo.
Sources tell #ShuterScoop that the rising actor and style fixture ignored pressure from within the family to skip this year’s Met Gala — including a public call for boycott by Jack Schlossberg, JFK’s only grandson.
“Patrick didn’t flinch,” an insider close to the situation dishes. “Jack made his stance loud and clear, but Patrick doesn’t care. He’s on a different track — one that includes red carpets, not political rants.”
Schlossberg, 31, made headlines after urging prominent figures — to boycott the Met Gala over its perceived elitism and industry hypocrisy. But Patrick, 31, is showing up anyway, striking poses for cameras like it was just another night in his fast-growing Hollywood life.
“He respects the family name, sure,” the source continues. “But he’s not about to let Jack, or anyone else, dictate how he builds his brand. Patrick sees himself as a star — not just a Kennedy by association.”
The tension between the cousins has simmered for years, with Jack focused on public service and maintaining the family’s political prestige, while Patrick embraces a glitzier lane in fashion, film, and fame.
“Patrick’s mindset is: JFK may be Jack’s grandfather, but Arnold is his dad — and that legacy comes with its own spotlight,” the source says.
While Jack fumed over the celebrity circus of the Met, Patrick basked in it — seemingly unbothered by the internal fallout.
“He’s not backing down,” the insider adds. “If anything, this feud just made him more determined to shine. Patrick doesn’t want to inherit a legacy — he wants to redefine it.”
