Her father's name still has a lot of weight in the US, but Kerry Kennedy is a joke: nypost.com/2016/07/31/kerry-kennedys-fury-sends-family-charity-spiraling-staff/
She claims to be a great advocate for human rights — but former employees tell The Post that behind closed doors, Kerry Kennedy is a monster who’s driving her father’s legacy into the ground.
“For someone who’s a human-rights lawyer, I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who cares so little for the people who work for her,” says an employee who resigned from the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights. “She treats them so badly, belittling and embarrassing them in front of others. Everyone who works there is brilliant, but there is very high turnover.”
In the past year, sources say, at least nine employees have quit.
“In general, she treats everyone as the person who would go get her coffee,” says another former executive. “Her attitude is, ‘You’re here to do what I want you to do.’ RFK surrounded himself with people who would say no and push back against him. She surrounds herself with people who won’t challenge her and who say yes no matter what.”
These employees could never figure out what the foundation’s goals were.
Multiple sources — all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity — say Kennedy uses foundation funds to pay for lavish expenses and the foundation itself as an excuse to party with celebs around the globe. The foundation’s most recent tax filings show she paid herself $357,340 in 2014. That same year, she took out a $2.4 million line of credit for the center, which has offices in DC and on Manhattan’s Madison Avenue.
