Mimi Alford allegedly lost her virginity to John F. Kennedy while an intern at the White House, she claims in a new tell-all book. According to CNN, Alford claims to have had an affair with the president that lasted 18 months in her new book, “Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and Its Aftermath.”
Alford was just 19 years old when the affair allegedly began in the summer of 1962. She was working in the White House press office when she met Kennedy, and was invited for a personal tour of the residence just five days after beginning her internship. Alford and Kennedy reportedly had daiquiris and the president conducted the tour himself. It was here that the affair first began, Alford said.
“After he finished, he hitched up his pants and smiled at me,” Alford wrote in portions of the book that were released for publishing by the New York Post. “I was in shock. He, on the other hand, was matter-of-fact, and acted as if what had just occurred was the most natural thing in the world.”
Alford said the White House arranged for a car to pick her up while she was still reeling.
“[It] kept echoing in my head: I’m not a virgin anymore,” she wrote.
