Kennedy scion dies at 35 after penning blistering criticism of RFK Jr.

Tatiana Schlossberg, a member of the Kennedy family who gained prominence in recent months following her diagnosis with acute myeloid leukemia and her subsequent public advocacy work, has died. She was 35.

As an environmental reporter, Schlossberg examined climate challenges and human responses to ecological threats. Her work centered on solutions-oriented storytelling that explored paths to environmental protection, The Washington Post noted.

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum confirmed her death on social media.

Last month, Schlossberg published a personal essay in The New Yorker detailing her diagnosis and its impact on her life. The piece blended personal reflection on family legacy and mortality with pointed criticism of her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now secretary of Health and Human Services in the Trump administration.

Schlossberg ripped Kennedy Jr. for pushing vaccine skepticism and reducing government support for medical research.

“I watched from my hospital bed as Bobby, in the face of logic and common sense, was confirmed for the position, despite never having worked in medicine, public health, or the government,” she wrote at the time.
