Can A Bloodline Be Cursed When Love Turns Deadly
from Strange Deranged Beyond Insane · host Melissa
Send us Fan MailHollywood can invent a curse in a writers’ room, but what happens when real life already looks like the script? I watched Netflix’s Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen and couldn’t shake the feeling that its “marry your soulmate or die” premise echoes the way people talk about the Kennedy family tragedies. So I pulled the thread: the red flags, the dread, the wedding-week pressure, and the brutal idea that fate is waiting at the altar.From there, I pivot into the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy love story and the long shadow of the so called Kennedy Curse. I walk through a timeline of losses that people point to again and again, from assassinations to plane crashes to accidents and medical tragedies, and I talk honestly about why these patterns feel “too in your face” to ignore even if you’re skeptical. I also get into the parts of these stories that make viewers angry, like what’s shown versus what’s rumored, and the line between “disrespectful details” and the reality that death is part of life.Then it gets personal: I share what I’ve learned about my own family connection, the ancestry notes my cousins sent, and how digging into names and dates can make history feel uncomfortably close. If you’ve ever wondered why some families seem followed by disaster, or why we reach for the word “curse” when grief won’t resolve neatly, you’ll feel right at home here.
