  • Summary

  • Behind the glamorous legacy of the Kennedy family lies a tragic and nearly forgotten story. Rosemary Kennedy, the eldest sibling of the famous clan, was once full of promise—but a botched lobotomy left her silenced and erased from history. In this episode, we unravel the hidden, heartbreaking tale of Rosemary’s life, her family’s shocking secret, and the decision that altered her fate forever. Dive into a tragedy that was kept in the shadows for decades—one that most of the world still doesn’t know about.

    And remember, it always gets a little Weirder, After Dark.
