Scandalous!
Caroline Kennedy has allegedly waged a war against all of Disney (which owns A&E), threatening to cancel the release of audiotapes (never-before-heard conversations with her mother) on ABC and refusing to publicize the book of transcripts of the tapes (to be released by Hyperion) if The Kennedys wasn't scrapped, reports the NY Post. But why?
It's the 50th anniversary year of JFK's inauguration and, according to a source close to the family, the actual Kennedys didn't appreciate the promos portraying the fam like "an episode of Dallas."
A network source also alleges that Caroline's literary agent called Hyperion in December and announced that Caroline "is going to pull back" on the book "if she doesn't get what she wants."
And it seems Caroline won!
The series reportedly cost over $25 million to make and the cable network had committed an additional $3-4 million more to promote it.
Check out the trailer above - think the infamous fam is portrayed poorly?
