Marilyn Monroe had a lesbian affair with this 16-year-old, sensational book claims

This is normal for Hollywood. Nothing unusual.

Thank heaven for 16 year old boys.

I do believe Marilyn being a lesbian but a child abuser? No

Uhm yeah, no.

R3 Back in the day this wasn't seen as child abuse. Different times then. And being 16 isn't exactly a child anymore.

Two words: BULL SHIT.

16-year-old?

r3 So Kennedy was just beard?🙄

I don't think Marilyn was very sexual, despite the super sexed-up image she sold.

Sexual abuse; abortions; miscarriages; endometriosis; Hollywood wolves... sounds like her body just brought her misery.

But she was always searching for Daddy. And she never found him.

Everything I've read about Marilyn makes her seem like a Kinsey 0. I recall reading in one of her bios she had zero interest in women sexually.

I call bull, someone's trying to make a buck off her legacy.

Because yeah, Monroe wasn't a predator, and she wasn't even into young guys, much less young girls. She didn't seem to be that interested in sex for his own sake, she used sex to get other people to fulfill her emotional needs, and most of her serious relationships were with people who were older and who could fulfill her need for a teacher, caregiver, or parental figure. Sure, she flirted with anything, but more for the attention than to get laid. She had more dick and pussy on offer than she wanted, she didn't need to go out and hunt for more.

Monroe slept with plenty of women. Everybody wanted to bed her.

r12 That doesn't mean she wanted to bed them.

They were both at the same orphanage but at different times. The author came out even though it was the 50s. The encounters were consensual and she thought that Marilyn was not gay but a free spirit. They remained close friends.

Where is the '"sure Jan " Gif when I need it?

WTF? Even Joan bedded Marilyn.

"Whatever your sexual preference is, it means nothing - love is love."

Bullshit. This type of language didn't even exist in Marilyn Monroe's lifetime.

"Monroe slept with plenty of women."

Nah. Her life has been thoroughly documented, and there was never any evidence that she had affairs with women. She did have an "intense" relationship with an acting coach she had named Natasha Lytess. Lytess was definitely in love with her and was reported to have said to Marilyn "You're wonderful! I love you" to which Marilyn reportedly replied "Don't love me, Natasha, just teach me." Their relationship maybe have been partly sexual. Or maybe not. Anyway, she's the only woman said to have MAYBE been involved in a sexual way with Marilyn.

I think its possible, she spent almost 2 years in the orphanage and it was horrifying and she was alone. I also think it would have been hard to carry out in a communal setting like that. I have my doubts about the Joan crawford encounter and am not sure about Lytess, her drama coach , I know Lytess was madly in love with her, whether Marilyn ever did anything about it I cant guess. I do know Dimaggio was irrationally and insanely jealous of Lytess and hated her far out of the context of her just being a drama coach..

I do think her experiences on the casting couch when she was breaking into films did her serious damage emotionally. I think she was weary of men. When she became the most famous woman in the world I think her desire was to overcome, humiliate, to some degree, and conquer men.

"The encounters were consensual and she thought that Marilyn was not gay but a free spirit. They remained close friends."

Yeah, right! This is truly another case of someone who had a few photos taken with Marilyn Monroe (she was always obliging for anyone who wanted a photo with her) and attempts to parlay them into a sexual relationship with her and "close" friendship.

On the set of one of her movies a fan named Robert Slatzer had some photos taken of himself and Marilyn. He later put out a book claiming they had been MARRIED briefly and that they they remained close friends for the rest of her life. There's no proof of any of that, but Statzer made a career out of being Marilyn Monroe's supposed second husband and her lifelong friend. He also always said she was murdered, and that she had an affair with Robert Kennedy, and all that conspiracy theory bullshit. This guy was on talk shows like Geraldo Rivera and I guess there were people who actually believed him. But he was a con artist, a scammer. Just like this latest person who claims to have had a lesbian affair with Marilyn Monroe beginning when she was just 16. Poor Marilyn! She's being lied about and exploited yet again.

Marilyn herself famously said "They go to bed with Marilyn Monroe and they wake up with me-Norma Jean." Her sex pot image was manufactured by Johnny Hyde who was deeply in love with her. Marilyn was fond of him but not in love. Her image was created and she tried to live up to it. Personally, I now believe she was a suicide. She was 35 and her looks were beginning to fade. She had life long anxiety and depression and a terrible fear that she would be schizophrenic like her mother, Gladys. Maybe she was murdered. I wouldn't rule it out but more likely suicide.

That quote at R21 is from Rita Hayworth.

There are two quotes: "Every man I knew went to bed with Gilda... and woke up with me."

“Men fell in love with Gilda, but they wake up with me.”

Poor Marilyn.

No one treated her as she ought to have been.

I'm looking at you, Jack.

"No one treated her as she ought to have been. "

No, she was treated much, MUCH better than mentally ill, desperately needy people are usually treated.

Some idiots seem to think that if someone had been nice to her it would have fixed her, and that's probably what she believed, but that's bullshit. If a person is mentally ill and a desperate pit of neediness, NO amount of love or forgiveness can ever fill that hole, the world is full of people who've tried and tried to fix people like Monroe and who've had to run away because they were doomed to fail and were being devoured in the attempt. It can't be done, loving the mentally ill doesn't cure the illness.

R8 she was in relationship with Jacqueline Kennedy according to some sites

Stanwyck nailed that.

In the transcripts of her taped sessions with her psychiatrist, Dr Ralph Greenson, Marilyn admitted to a full-blown lesbian encounter with Joan Crawford. She had a one-off encounter with Elizabeth Taylor

Joan Crawford was succeeded in Marilyn's lesbian adventures by two other veteran Hollywood stars, Barbara Stanwyck and Marlene Dietrich

R3 Statutory rape was a crime in the 50s; it is just people were less likely to talk about it back then. Errol Flynn was arrested for having sex with an underage girl.

Leave Mrs.Dimaggio alone....she should have stayed married to "Joltin Joe".....hollywood is a horrible place.

Bridgette Bardot wrote in her memoirs that Monroe pursed her and eventually succeeded in seducing her.

Its pretty obvious Monroe liked women, too

I’ve read the memoirs of BB. She doesn’t write that [R32]. She only mentions to have met BB in Buckingham Palace, during some reception. And that MM was very sexy.

Yes, BB wrote that MM vigorously pursed her and eventually succeeded. Why dispute this?

I think Bridgette Bardot is a lesbian too

BB is a vile right winger, but before I knew this I read her memoirs many years ago. In French. Yes the story is true. Or this is what she claimed.

R36 BB is a vile right winger

Is it true?

[R34] because it is NOT in the book. I think BB is bisexual [R35].

Didn't Bardot and Fonda marry a same man? Fonda is a lesbian so her hubby was probably gay and that makes Bardot gay too

Deneuve too

"In the transcripts of her taped sessions with her psychiatrist, Dr Ralph Greenson, Marilyn admitted to a full-blown lesbian encounter with Joan Crawford."

There's no proof those tapes ever existed. An old coot named John Miner (he was a former prosecutor in L. A.) said he listened to tapes her possessive psychiatrist Ralph Greenson had made of their psychiatric sessions. Supposedly Greenson had him listen to the tapes in order to exonerate himself from all blame in Marilyn's death. Yeah, right. Anyway, Miner said he listened to the tapes and "took extensive notes."

Decades later he comes out with what was on these supposed tapes. The Marilyn Monroe on these "tapes" sounds like a male pig's idea of what Marilyn Monroe was like; dumb and sex crazed. On the tapes she tells Greenson she'd love to fuck him, but knows he's too ethical to have sex with one of his patients. And there's the crazy story about a one night stand with Joan Crawford where poor Joan screamed in ecstasy at Marilyn's expert cunt eating. Poor Joan wanted more, but Marilyn was done with her, so Joan hated her for that. Actually Joan Crawford hated Monroe for being younger and a hot new star while Joan was an aging star whose glory days were gone. Marilyn also mentions her "friend Mae West." Marilyn Monroe never met Mae West. These tapes, it would seem, were a figment of John Miner's imagination. Maybe in his later years he wanted to be remembered and thought that if he came out with these "tape" he would be. Anyway, there is no proof, none, that the tapes existed. To believe Miner's story you have to, as one critic said, "take it on faith."

"BB wrote that MM vigorously pursed her and eventually succeeded. Why dispute this?"

Because BB is a cuckoo, that's why.

Yeah, I can believe that Monroe might have done it with some woman during her days of using the casting couch, if she'd met some woman who could have helped her career, but honestly... most of this stuff about lesbian encounters sounds like shit that someone made up to sell books or just out of somoene's straight male imagination.

The supposed psychiatrist tapes are obvious bullshit, as is anything that is anything that depicts Marilyn as hypersexual and doing it with everybody. She doesn't seem to have been all that sexually motivated, sex was something she did because other people wanted it, what she sought out was love and caretaking.

On the supposed psychiatric tapes Marilyn has plans for her career. She said she eventually hoped to produce and act in the "Marilyn Monroe Shakespeare Film Festival". She said she would dedicate a whole year to studying Shakespearean acting with Lee Strasberg and then will go to Olivier for additional help that he once promised her. WTF?! The Marilyn Monroe Shakespeare Film Festival? Marilyn Monroe didn't give a SHIT about Shakespearean acting. And Laurence Olivier promised her "help" with her Shakespearean acting? Olivier couldn't stand her. She drove him crazy on the set of "The Prince and the Showgirl", never showing up on time, not remembering her lines and having the horrible Paula Strasberg at her side every moment. What absolute bullshit.

It may have been Jane Birkin who shared a lesbian love scene with Bardot and said Bardot had zero attraction to women. I don't know where these lesbian rumors are coming from although I'm sure Marilyn and Bardot were more than likely pursued by many women over the years so until a credible person comes forward I hesitate to believe these stories because those published so far seem like wishful thinking.

Marilyn Monroe: 15 Female Lovers You Never Knew She Had Affairs With

Who's interested in a famous lesbian love affair story?

Marilyn Monroe & Brigitte Bardott

A rather fantastic love meeting between Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot is described in Bardot's memoirs according to an article in the Swedish newspaper 'Aftonbladet'. Marilyn and Brigitte met each other at a reception which was held for the English Queen in 1952. Brigitte says in her book that it took Marilyn 30 seconds to seduce her, when they met each other in the restroom.

Brigitte writes:

"Marilyn was a extremely beautiful blonde wearing a golden dress that was low-necked almost down to her ankles. She looked so fresh and natural like she'd just got up from the bed. You wanted to kiss her right away!"

Poor Marilyn. I'm surprised that no one has said she had a hot affair with Eleanor Roosevelt. They were both muff diving lesbos, weren't they? So why wouldn't they have had lesbian trysts? I think if somebody came out and said that it would be believed by some gullible trusting souls, too.

There are few actresses more sensual and vulnerable and womanly at the same time. There is nothing of the child-woman waif about Marilyn, there's a worldliness and backbone there (compared to, say, the ever simpering Natalie Portman) but audiences - and the men she met - truly wanted to care for her.
