Carole Radziwill Discussed Carolyn Bessette
Carole Radziwill spoke about Carolyn Bessette during the 'RHONY' episode.
Daisy Toye and Jessel Taank questioned Radziwill about Carolyn Bessette.
"Yeah, she was very fun. She’s a girl’s girl, like before there was a thing called a girl’s girl. I don’t know what she’s like on the show, ‘cause I don’t want to watch the show," Radziwill revealed.
She also reacted to the renewed interest in Bessette’s style, which became known as "Carolyn Bessette Summer" after the FX series premiered.
"I don’t love that," she said bluntly.
Carole Radziwill shared her thoughts on the renewed interest in Carolyn Bessette.
The conversation later turned to the so-called "Kennedy curse."
"Do you not think the family is, like, cursed? Right? The dad gets assassinated, then the mother has cancer, and then they both die…," Taank asked.
Erika Hammond interrupted the conversation and called it "too much," with Radziwill agreeing.
In her confessional, Erin Lichy reflected on the exchange and questioned whether Taank understood how personal the subject was for Radziwill.
"Read the frickin’ room, Jessel. Dude, do not see that this is her best friend, and she’s still grieving?" she said.

Radziwill Previously Addressed 'Love Story'
Carole Radziwill discussed her connection to John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.
Carole's connection to the late couple goes back decades.
She was close to Carolyn and was also related to JFK Jr. through her late husband, Anthony Radziwill, who was JFK Jr.’s cousin.
While Carole was not portrayed in Love Story, she previously shared her thoughts about the series in an essay on Substack.
"Sitting here now, we know how it ended," she wrote.
"And yet the story keeps being told. Reinvented. Embroidered. Filled with details no one could possibly know, by people who weren’t there and don’t care about the truth," she continued.
Carole also wrote that she no longer worried about "misrepresentations, false narratives or bent truths," but made it clear that she would not be watching the series.
