Martha Stewart's JFK Jr. Plane Regret Revealed

Martha Stewart recently shared a poignant recollection concerning John F. Kennedy Jr. during an episode of The Real Housewives of New York City. Stewart recounted speaking with JFK Jr. the Monday before the Friday he and his wife, Carolyn Bessette, died in a July 1999 plane crash. She recalled JFK Jr. calling her for advice about his magazine, George. During their dinner, Stewart questioned who was flying his plane, and he stated he was, without a copilot. Stewart expressed that she has often thought about telling him to get one.

This revelation comes as a series exploring JFK Jr. and Carolyn's romance and tragic deaths, "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette," debuted earlier this year. Carole Radziwill, married to JFK Jr.'s cousin, discussed her strong emotional reaction to the series. She described the show as a "body slam" that brought back significant grief. Radziwill, who was reading a book about that time in her life, mentioned that the emotional impact was unplanned and would be a notable arc throughout the current RHONY season.
