Was Marilyn Monroe Truly Assaulted by JFK?
Investigating the Truth Behind “Blonde”
A Controversial Encounter
In a grand New York hotel, two Secret Service agents forcefully escort a disoriented young woman to meet their boss.
The blonde woman, clearly under the influence of drugs, questions her purpose in this encounter, wondering if she is simply a piece of meat for room service.
It becomes apparent that this is precisely the case, as she is taken to a suite where a U.S. president lies on his bed, engrossed in a phone call.
Without interrupting the call, he coerces her into pleasuring him, with strong hints of rape.
Shockingly, his bodyguard remains nearby, casually reading a newspaper without even bothering to close the bedroom door.
This scene, depicted in the new Netflix biopic “Blonde,” has caused outrage on social media, dividing audiences and sparking debates about its accuracy and ethics.
Exploring the Life of Marilyn Monroe
“Blonde” is an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' semi-factual 2000 novel, which presents a distilled narrative of Marilyn Monroe's life.
Director Andrew Dominik, known for his controversial casting choice of Ana de Armas, a Cuban-born former Bond Girl, aims to highlight Monroe's portrayal as a tragic victim of predatory men.
The film delves into her experiences as an unloved girl navigating the harsh Hollywood industry, presenting a stark contrast to the flirty s** symbol often associated with her iconic roles in films like “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “Some Like It Hot.”
Instead, viewers are presented with a lonely, abused, and traumatized Monroe, plagued by anger, insecurity, and helplessness.
