Marilyn Monroe’s secret diary reveals Kennedys’ role

Marilyn Monroe’s infamous Little Red Diary has long been dismissed as nothing more than a Hollywood legend. The long-missing magazine has surfaced – and its contents are earth-shattering. RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Retired Los Angeles Police Department Detective Mike Rothmiller claims the diary is very real. He says he discovered 70 photocopied pages buried in an LAPD intelligence file titled “Monroe’s Diary.”

Retired LAPD detective Mike Rothmiller claimed that Marilyn Monroe’s long-rumored diary was found in an intelligence file titled “Monroe’s Diary.”

Neatly handwritten in block letters, the notes reportedly reveal Monroe’s private thoughts, personal anecdotes and most intimate memories… page after page of steamy sex, betrayal and heartbreak.

The pages were reportedly removed from a folder and contained references to powerful men identified only as “John” and “Bobby” — who Rothmiller believes were President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.

He said the diary details Monroe’s relationships with both men, along with pillow talk involving explosive political matters — including an alleged plot to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

Monroe crossed paths with the Kennedys after the worlds of Hollywood and Washington collided through Peter Lawford, the… Rat pack actor who married Patricia Kennedy, sister of JFK and RFK. Glamorous parties at Lawford’s beach house in Santa Monica attracted stars like Frank Sinatra and Robert Wagner – and it was there that Monroe first met the powerful brothers.

“Bobby and I made love at Peters,” Monroe wrote, according to Rothmiller. ‘He wants to see me again. This is our secret. Bobby is gentle. He listens to me. He’s nicer than John. Bobby said he loves me and wants to marry me. I love him.’

But her feelings about JFK were much less romantic.

“JFK always wants me to rape him,” Monroe complained. “We just kiss and have sex. I wish it was more, but it’s not.”

According to Rothmiller, Marilyn’s writings portray the brothers as men who live dangerously: attending sex parties, mingling with gangsters and having affairs with the most famous woman in the world.

“They both led very reckless lives for politicians,” Rothmiller noted. ‘Their affairs could have ended their careers. Her diary also showed how one brother, for lack of a better term, simply handed Marilyn over to the other brother.’

In 1962, this reckless lifestyle threatened to result in a scandal. On August 1 – just three days before Monroe’s death – investigative journalist Dorothy Kilgallen reportedly called the Justice Department to ask if Attorney General RFK would confirm an affair with Monroe.

That, Rothmiller claimed, was the breaking point. The Kennedys reportedly cut ties with the actress, and Lawford warned Monroe never to contact them again. She was suddenly “cut off” by the White House and the DOJ, allegedly, according to both her diary and the files of the LAPD’s secretive Organized Crime Intelligence Division (OCID).

Monroe was furious. Her diary entries, Rothmiller says, reveal a woman consumed by betrayal and increasingly obsessed with revenge.

One message said: “They’re not returning my calls. Bob and John used me. I told Peter they’re ignoring me. I’m not going to stand for that. I’m going to tell everyone about us.”

Through Peter Lawford, Monroe met the Kennedy brothers at Hollywood gatherings, including Frank Sinatra.

According to transcripts from Monroe’s phones – reportedly tapped by the OCID – she planned to hold a press conference to expose both cases and reveal the secrets surrounding Cuba and Castro.

After calling screenwriter friend Jose Bolanos, Monroe wrote, “I told Jose I’m going to tell the world about them. They used me. I’m not a whore. Jose said don’t tell anyone about this. It’s dangerous.”

Rothmiller says it was clear Monroe had reached a breaking point. “She was furious and very angry when she thought she was being pushed aside.”

But perhaps she has managed to make herself impossible to ignore.

“John didn’t call,” Monroe wrote in one message. “Bobby called. He’s coming to California. He wants to see me.’

Then came what Rothmiller says was one of the most chilling entries in the diary. On August 3, 1962, Monroe wrote: “Peter said Robert will come tomorrow. I don’t know if he will.” It was one of her last known words.

On August 5, Monroe was found dead in her Brentwood home at the age of 36. She was discovered in bed with empty prescription bottles nearby. Her death was later ruled a probable suicide caused by a barbiturate overdose.

The explosive press conference she reportedly planned never took place. Instead, her death led to decades of conspiracy theories — many of which focused on whether the Kennedys had played a role.

No member of the Kennedy family was ever charged in connection with Monroe’s death.

JFK was dead by the time the conspiracy theories gained traction, and Robert F. Kennedy never publicly discussed the allegations.

Now Rothmiller says he has come to a stunning conclusion: Monroe’s killer was none other than U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy himself.

The official ruling on possible suicide, he argues, is challenged by the six chilling words in Monroe’s diary entry of August 3: “Peter said Robert will come tomorrow.”

Based on the documents he says he reviewed – along with surveillance data, interviews and other material – Rothmiller has developed his own theory about what happened to the Some like it hot beauty.

One of his most important sources, he said, was Lawford himself. Rothmiller claims that Lawford eventually collapsed under the weight of years of guilt and told him in 1982 that RFK was secretly flying to Los Angeles to see Monroe on August 4 – just as her diary indicated.

According to Rothmiller, RFK visited Monroe twice that day – once in the morning and again that evening – in what he describes as a desperate attempt to keep her from coming out.

During the second visit, he claimed, everything got out of hand.

Rothmiller said Lawford told him that Monroe flew into a rage and screamed that she would no longer be treated “like a whore” by the Kennedys. RFK, he alleged, Lawford said, then violently threw her to the ground.

He also said Lawford told him that RFK had searched Marilyn’s drawers for the diary and held her down as she screamed, “Where is it?”

The retired detective claimed Lawford became emotional as he recounted what happened next: RFK allegedly stirred a glass of water with a spoon before handing it to Marilyn – who reportedly commented that it tasted strange.

Lawford allegedly told Rothmiller that he and RFK then searched the house and later returned to find Monroe on the couch where they had left her. RFK reportedly shook her. She moved dizzily, mumbled something, fainted and stopped breathing.

What happened next, Rothmiller said, was even more shocking.

Lawford allegedly told him that two plainclothes LAPD officers suddenly showed up at the door. No words were exchanged as Lawford and RFK left the house and rushed to the airport.

Still, hours passed before 911 was finally called the next morning by Monroe’s personal physician.

By the time news of Monroe’s death broke, RFK had a ready-made alibi: He was publicly seen as the devoted family man who attended church near San Francisco with his wife and children.

In those crucial missing hours, Rothmiller theorizes, the scene was staged to look like a suicide — and every trace of Monroe’s ties to the Kennedys, including the diary itself, disappeared.

For him, that diary is the smoking gun.

Rothmiller claimed that Peter Lawford told him that RFK visited Monroe the day she died.

“What shocked me most was her writing that Bobby was coming to see her that day,” Rothmiller said. “It confirmed all the other things” he saw in classified OCID files involving Monroe and the Kennedys.

Since the publication of his findings in his book Bombshell: The Night Bobby Kennedy Killed Marilyn MonroeRothmiller says even more former OCID agents have quietly supported him and told him about other classified files and surveillance photos that allegedly show Lawford and RFK in Los Angeles on the day Monroe died.

“They didn’t want to speak on the record or go public,” he said, “but they told me, ‘You definitely did a good job.’”
