Teddy Kennedy's La Brasserie Vignettes
In December 1985, just before he announced he would run for president
in 1988, Kennedy took a run at a pretty young woman employed as a
Brasserie 'waitress'. The woman, Carla Gaviglio, says the following
account, which appeared in Penthouse, is full and accurate:
It is after midnight and Teddy Kennedy and his drinking buddy Chris
Dodd are just finishing up a long dinner in a private room on the
first floor of the restaurant's annex. They are both shitfaced. Their
dates, two very young blondes, leave the table to go to the bathroom.
Their girls are drunk too. "They'd always get their girls very, very
drunk," says a former Brasserie waitress. Betty Loh, who served the
partiers, also leaves the room. Raymond Campet, the co-owner of La
Brasserie, tells Carla the senators want to see her.
As she enters the room, Kennedy grabs the five-foot-three, 103-pound
waitress and throws her on the table. She lands on her back,
scattering crystal, plates and cutlery and the lit candles. Several
glasses and a crystal candlestick are broken. Teddy then picks her up
off the table and throws her on top of Dodd, who is sprawled out in a
chair. With Carla on Chris Dodd's lap, Teddy jumps on top of her and
begins grinding his penis into her crotch, supporting his weight on
the arms of the chair.
As he is doing this, Betty Loh reenters the room. She and Carla start
screaming, drawing the attention of a couple dishwashers. Startled,
Kennedy leaps up. He laughs. Bruised, shaken and angry over the
sexual assault, Carla runs out of the room. Kennedy, Dodd and their
hookups leave shortly thereafter, following a drunken argument between
the Senators over the check.
Eyewitness Betty Loh told me that Kennedy had at least "three or four"
cocktails in his first half hour at the restaurant and wine with
dinner. When she walked into the room after Carla had gone in, she
says, "what I saw was Senator Kennedy on top of Carla, who was on top
of Senator Dodd's lap, and the tablecloth was sort of slid off the
table 'cause the table was knocked over-not completely, but just on
Senator Dodd's lap a little bit, and of course the glasses and the
candlesticks were totally spilled and everything. And when I walked
in, Teddy got off of her and composed himself. Carla jumped up and ran
out of the room crying."
According to Betty, Kennedy "was straddling Carla, and giving her a
'Dry Fuck'. Chris Dodd, she adds, "said 'Hey, Don't blame me!, It's
not my fault.' " Kennedy said jokingly, "Did I get any on ya?"
Brasserie II: On September 25, 1987, Teddy and a charming young blonde
congressional "Lobbyist" got caught at a booze-fueled lunch in the
private VIP suite upstairs and succumbed to the temptations of the
carpet, where they were surprised in a state of undress and
wholehearted passion by waitress Frauke Morgan. The room, located next
to the restrooms, is secured only by a flimsy accordion door, which
could not be tightly closed. Waitress Virginia Hurt, says Morgan
described the scene to her shortly after witnessing it, recalls,
"Teddy was on the floor with his pants down around his ankles on top
of the "Lobbyist", and when he stared at her and she just backed away
and closed the door. The girl didn't see Frauke. So Frauke went
downstairs and told the manager and another waitress."
The waitress to whom Morgan spoke just after the incident says, "She
told me
she went up to offer them coffee and when she opened the
door
there they were on the floor." Morgan said explicitly, the other
waitress goes on, that Kennedy had his pants down and the blonde "had
her dress up," and the two " 'were screwing on the floor.' "
Another waitress to whom Morgan immediately related the episode, "She
said she had walked in to ask them if they needed anything else before
she gave them the check, and she found Senator Kennedy, 'drilling for
oil' on top of his date on the floor and they were sort of half under
the table and half out."
A copy of La Brasserie's reservation list for that day shows that a
luncheon table for two in the VIP room was reserved for Kennedy. A
copy of the check, signed "Edward M. Kennedy," shows he was billed for
two bottles of Chardonnay Wine.
Teddy was born and bred to act like the last of the Kennedy rakes: to
be a boor when it pleases him, to take what he wants, to treat women
as score-markers in the game of Sport-Fucking and to revel in
high-stakes risks. Joseph Kennedy Sr. flaunted his affairs in front of
his wife and children, made crude passes at his sons' girlfriends and
well past his middle years was still chasing pussy. John Kennedy's mad
womanizing-frolicking with naked sluts in the White House swimming
pool, banging a whore girl in Lincoln's Bed, carrying on barely secret
affairs with a mobster's girlfriend Judith Campbell Exner, with
Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield-was beyond anything Teddy has ever
done or, for that matter, anything anybody has ever done. Neither Joe
nor Jack was punished by church, state or wife for such behavior and
the late-born Teddy, coming into the family when its adult behavior
patterns were already mythologized, presumably figured that neither
the Rules of Decency nor of Retribution applied to him. The boy grew
to manhood without learning how to be an adult. His drinking suggests
nothing so much as a frat boy on a toot. His actions with women seem
to be more evidence, as writer Suzannah Lessard put it in 1979, of "a
severe case of arrested development, a kind of narcissistic
intemperance, a huge, babyish ego that must constantly be fed."
