Marilyn Monroe’s alleged relationships with President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy have long been the subject of speculation, but they were never confirmed beyond doubt. According to a report previously cited by Radar, former detective Mike Rothmiller said he discovered 70 photocopied pages in an LAPD intelligence dossier labeled “Monroe’s Diary,” a collection that supposedly shed new light on Monroe’s private life and her reported romances with the Kennedy brothers.
Rothmiller claimed the diary pages suggested that Monroe was caught in a risky and deeply secretive web involving two of the most powerful political figures of the era. He described the situation as reckless for politicians, saying any affair with Monroe could have destroyed their careers. His account also suggested that the brothers’ involvement with Monroe was not only personal but intertwined, with one allegedly “turning” her over to the other, according to the diary material he described.
One alleged excerpt from the diary portrayed Monroe as frustrated by her relationship with JFK, which she supposedly viewed as mostly physical and emotionally unfulfilling. In the text attributed to her, she reportedly expressed disappointment that he wanted sex but did not offer the deeper connection she wanted. The supposed entry conveyed a sense of longing and dissatisfaction, implying that Monroe wished the relationship had more substance.
By contrast, the diary pages allegedly painted Robert Kennedy in a much warmer light. According to Rothmiller’s description, Monroe wrote that she and Bobby made love at Peters and that he wanted to see her again in secret. The pages purportedly described Bobby as gentle, attentive, and kinder than John. In the alleged diary entry, Monroe is said to have written that Bobby told her he loved her, wanted to marry her, and that she loved him in return.
The supposed diary content adds to the enduring mystery surrounding Monroe’s final years and her connections to the Kennedy family. For decades, historians, biographers, and conspiracy theorists have debated the nature of her relationships with JFK and Bobby, while questions about what was real, exaggerated, or fabricated have continued to fuel public fascination.
Because the diary itself has never been conclusively verified in a way that silences all doubt, the claims remain part of a broader historical controversy rather than settled fact. Still, the alleged entries continue to draw attention because they offer a dramatic and intimate version of events that have long hovered between rumor and legend. Monroe’s name, the Kennedy brothers, and the secrecy surrounding their alleged affairs remain linked in one of the most persistent celebrity-political mysteries of the 20th century.
