The daughter of US presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr has caused a stir after posting - and then deleting - an unflattering comparison between her stepmother and a famous fictional character.
Social Media Storm
In a now-removed Instagram story, Kick Kennedy shared a side-by-side image comparing her father's wife, actress Cheryl Hines, to the cartoon character "Cinderella's stepmother" from Disney's animated classic. The post quickly drew attention across social media platforms.
Family Tensions Surface
This public airing of apparent family discord comes at a sensitive time for RFK Jr's independent presidential campaign. Political analysts suggest such personal controversies could potentially distract from his policy messages during a crucial campaign period.
Public Reaction Divided
The incident has sparked heated debate online, with some defending it as harmless family banter while others condemn it as inappropriate behavior from a prominent political family. The Kennedy clan has long been subject to intense public scrutiny, with every family interaction potentially carrying political consequences.
Neither Kick Kennedy nor the Kennedy campaign have issued official statements regarding the deleted post at this time.
