There has to be something juicy in those Jackie Kennedy tapes, right?
ABC yesterday blasted a British newspaper report that the network is sitting on an explosive treasure-trove of Jacqueline Kennedy audio recordings that have her blaming President Lyndon B. Johnson for her husband’s assassination and admitting to extramarital affairs.
ABC is airing never-before-heard tapes of Jackie in September as part of a special to mark 50 years since JFK’s inauguration.
But the network denies they’re anywhere near as sensational as reported in The Sunday Express.
“The tabloid reports about content of the tapes are total nonsense,” the network’s rep said. “ABC isn’t releasing any content from those tapes until mid-September, at which time it will be clear how off base these reports are.”
The Express reported that Jackie learned of JFK’s fling with a 19-year-old intern after finding the woman’s underwear in the bedroom. And, according to the paper, she admitted to revenge affairs with actor William Holden and Fiat mogul Gianni Agnelli.
