LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A decade-old interview of Robert F Kennedy Jr's daughter, Kick Kennedy, resurfaced online after the environmental lawyer suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed former President Donald Trump.

The interview went viral for the sordid tale the 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' actress revealed about witnessing her father beheading a whale with a chainsaw, as per The Daily Beast.

Kick, in a December 2012 interview with Town & Country, divulged the bizarre story, describing it as "just normal day-to-day stuff." At the time of the interview, she was a "budding actress" and a hardcore environmentalist like Kennedy Jr.

Around 1994, her father heard about a washed-up whale at a beach in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Then, six-year-old Kick accompanied her anti-vaxxer father, who carried a chainsaw to decapitate the whale's head.

Kick Kennedy's sordid anecdote about RFK Jr beheading a dead whale

In the interview, Kick said that Kennedy Jr decapitated the washed-up whale's head, fastened it to his minivan's roof with bungee cords, and left for their home in New York, which was a five-hour drive. The environmental lawyer was fond of studying skeletons and animal skulls.

"Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet," 'The Newsroom' actress said.

"We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us."

According to Town & Country's Hudson Morgan, "Kick's taste for the extreme was fed by her dad's eccentric environmentalism. Exhibit A: When she was six, word got out that a dead whale had washed up on Squaw Island in Hyannis Port."

Her father's bear carcass "prank" in New York City's Central Park was a mystery for years until he disclosed to Roseanne Barr recently that he staged it to fool people into thinking the dead bear cub was killed by a bicycle.

The Kick made headlines last week after she was reportedly spotted in Beverly Hills with Ben Affleck, who recently filed for divorce from his second wife, Jennifer Lopez.

Meanwhile, Kennedy Jr suspended his campaign in ten swing states and declared his endorsement for Trump, who he believes "will make America healthy again." His sister, Kerry Kennedy, and the rest of the Kennedy family, who share a long-standing Democratic legacy, denounced his shift to the MAGA spearhead's camp.

Internet slams RFK Jr after Kick Kennedy's old interview of him beheading a whale resurfaces online

Outraged at the resurfaced revelation of Kennedy Jr decapitating a dead whale's head with a chainsaw, netizens labeled him a "psycopath" and a "freaking lunatic."

"RFK is a SICK FREAK," a user wrote.

"He's a proper American Psycho. I'm glad that at least one son has outgrown him, serving in Ukraine. Those poor kids, though. The trauma they've been through," another remarked.

"That does sound… quite deranged," added a third user.

"Dude is weird and endorsed another weird dude," read a fourth response.



 



 



 



 

"He's a psychopath. Think about the things we don't know about!" an individual claimed.

"The guy is a freaking lunatic by most standards and this is the endorsement the Trump team wants. Sheeze…" someone else chimed in.

"He really is a weird and disgusting person. Perfect for MAGATS," another user said.

"Let's just admit that defiling a dead animal and running away with its head is pretty insane... it's not like he was doing research or something, he just scavenged it, probably breaking a couple of laws in the process," read one remark.
