Jack Schlossberg Calls Bessette-Kennedy Auction Creepy

Jack Schlossberg, grandson of JFK, has publicly criticized the upcoming Sotheby's auction of garments belonging to his late aunt, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, labeling it 'super creepy' and suggesting media should focus on real issues rather than auctioning personal belongings. The auction includes three of Bessette-Kennedy's iconic clothing items, with starting bids ranging from $15,000 to $20,000, reflecting her lasting influence as a fashion icon. Bessette-Kennedy, who died in a plane crash in 1999, has been celebrated for her minimalist style and elegance, which continues to inspire the fashion world. Sotheby's has reported robust bidding activity on these pieces, indicating high interest among collectors. The sale is part of a series of auctions featuring items from the Kennedy family's legacy, which have historically attracted significant attention and financial bids. Schlossberg's comments highlight the tension between honoring family legacies and commercializing personal artifacts.
