I don't know if any of you watch Michael Franzese's interviews. I do. He states that his father John, who was Colombo underboss, had an affair with Marilyn Monroe who was also having an affair with Monroe. He says that's one reason why Robert Kennedy pursued and convicted his father.
Michael's a showboat and full of shit. Thats complete unadulterated BS. More guys bedded her than you have fingers and toes. What was RK gonna do, have a vendetta with everybody?
Don't get me wrong, Sonny banged a lot of braciola in his lifetime, but I for one don't believe he ever did M. Monroe. And even if he did, Whats that got to do with RK?
Kennedy went after everybody, Sonny was not even high on Kennedys list in the scheme of things in those days. Kennedy ran the Senate Labor Rackets Committee which exposed the Teamsters Union and other top locals for corruption.
The likes of union boss Jimmy Hoffa, Tony Ducks, Johnny Dio, Jimmy Jerome Squillante, the longshoremen's union, etc., were Kennedys main targets. Sonny Franzese by and large had zero to do with those unions, or any other major unions in those days.
Franzese later involved himself in a few "catch-all" independent union locals, but these were long after Bobby Kennedy's focus on the mob and unions waned.
What I'm saying is that there is little to no correlation between Franzese, Monroe, Kennedy, and the rest.
Next Michael will be saying that he was partners with Lucky Luciano, and ran all the casinos in Las Vegas and the Havana, Cuba. Lol
He figures who's gonna question him right?
