RFK Jr’s confession of dumping bear carcass in New York’s Central Park sparks outrage, memes: ‘Did your brain worms…’

On Sunday, RFK Jr posted a bizarre video on X, in which he can be heard confessing how some of his drunk pals suggested that it would be a great idea to dump the dead bear off in Central park and staged the scene to “make it look like” that a bicyclist had run over the animal.

This shocking incident had baffled New Yorkers ten years ago after a dog found the deceased female bear in some bushes. Kennedy seemingly posted the video to counter a forthcoming New Yorker article that he thought would be a “bad story”.

Interestingly, he captioned the video as “Looking forward to seeing how you spin this one, @NewYorker.”

Kennedy, who was speaking to actor Roseanne Barr in the video posted on X, claimed that a woman had struck and killed the bear with her car while he was driving behind her through New York’s Hudson Valley on a falconry expedition. He then placed the bear in his vehicle with the intent of skinning it and eating its meat. However, he ran out of time to take the bear home before having to catch a flight.

Kennedy told Barr that they thought “it would be amusing” for whoever found the carcass. However, he realised his mistake when “the next day it was on every television station. I was like, ‘Oh my god, what did I do?’”

“I was worried because my prints were all over that bike … Luckily, the story died down after a while.”

Sharing a laugh with Barr, he stated that the New Yorker had found out about his role in the event, adding that “It’s gonna be a bad story.”

Florence Slatkin, a local who was residing near the park, told Associated Press that her friend’s dog found something lying on the ground. “At first, we thought it was a bag of clothes or maybe a dead dog.”

They later realised that it was a tiny bear “with its mouth wide open and scratches on the side.” Following this, police arrived at the spot and discovered that the bear had injuries on its body. However, they were uncertain how it died, leading to a probe that was never resolved until RFK Jr‘s confession.

This admission comes after Kennedy announced that a parasite stuck in his brain and died. In addition, RFK Jr refuted claims that he had eaten a dog after one of his friends sent Vanity Fair his picture, showing that he was about to take a bite of charred animal. However, he later claimed the animal was a goat.
