Scratch this subject off the list of what Senator Edward Kennedy will talk about in his memoirs--the love child the National Enquirer accused him of having with a Massachusetts woman.
In 2006, the Enquirer claimed that Kennedy fathered a child with Caroline Bilodeau-Allen in 1984 and that a cover-up ensued. Bilodeau-Allen filed a lawsuit in Boston claiming that is completely false and that she and her 22-year-old son, who is also a plaintiff, have suffered psychological damage as a result of the rumors.
The Smoking Gun has documentation of the case and the pages of the Enquirer's story. The story the Enquirer weaves is a sordid one involving "hush money."
