A new biography about RFK Jr has unveiled some truly wild secrets.
Titled RFK Jr.: The Fall and Rise, the book was written by investigative journalist Isabel Vincent.
According to People, the book features some eyebrow-raising secrets which were uncovered in journals that Kennedy wrote in every day, from 1999 and 2001.
RFK Jr is currently the United States Health and Human Services Secretary, and the book features his complaints about 'lust demons', documenting his affairs, and er, a raccoon penis.

Yes, you read that right.
Apparently, the journal entries were given to Vincent by a source, a year after Kennedy's second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, sadly took her own life in 2012.
The source said that Mary had kept hold of the bombshell diaries to use as 'leverage' for their divorce, which had not been finalised before she died.
The book documents everything from the assassinations of his uncle and father, to his rise to the position of power he holds now, and it has been published today (April 14).
It turns out that Kennedy is a big fan of roadkill.
The book claims that on November 11, 2001, the RFK Jr wrote in his journal how he was driving down a highway with his wife and kids in a minivan.
He recalls spotting a dead raccoon at the side of the road, and pulled over to check it out.
"I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be," he wrote.
He added: "My kids waited patiently in the car."
Vincent alleges Kennedy took the body part to "study them later."
In August 2024, he told the press: “I’ve been picking up roadkill my whole life. I have a freezer full of it."
According to Associated Press, his campaign spokesperson Stefanie Spear said Kennedy is a falconer who trains ravens, and he uses roadkill to feed his birds.
In August 2000, according to Vincent he would write about so-called 'victories' - days he did not cheat on Mary, followed by a series of entries of numbers and names, where he ranked how far they went from 1-10, with 10 being full sexual intercourse.
There is a '3' on August 9, a '10' on August 21, against the name of a woman he met up with again on September 22 for another '10.'
He also battles with his conscience, writing: “I knew daddy was watching me and that he loved me, but I also felt I was disappointing him — when I told a lie, had a sexual thought, got a bad grade.”
He also wrote about his battles with his 'lust demons'.
Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, was reportedly good friends with Kennedy's late wife, Mary, according to Vincent.
The author alleges that Kennedy flew on Epstein’s private plane twice.
He flew with Mary to Palm Beach to visit his mother.
On another occasion, he flew on Epstein's plane to South Dakota to go fossil hunting.
