And in response to suggestions that his famous Kennedy deviation has been over played, he stated that he is simply 'a Jew called Schlossberg'.
Most agree that he doesn't look like his handsome grandfather, JFK, or another male Kennedy by the way.
In one Instagram post he also noticed that he did not look like the actors, 'Penn Badgley or Adam Driver', but weird noticed: “I look like Audrey Hepburn.”

The Elder Schlossberg, 79, married Caroline Kennedy on July 19, 1986 in the Roman Catholic Church of the Roman of Our Lady of Victory.

As an outsider who married the most famous – and notorious – Clan Ed Schlossberg of America has always avoided to give interviews and has despised publicity about his private life – a characteristic also inherited by his son who avoids the press, but rescuers who express himself controversially online .
However, Jack Schlossberg recently deleted his accounts on X and Instagram after he had demonstrated a series of splashes on social media with Kelly and Dailymail.com columnist Maureen Callahan.
'I'm sorry for everyone I hurt. I was wrong, “he wrote in his last post last week. “I remove all my social media. Forever. It was fun. Thank you everyone. '
Schlossberg tried to explain his messages on social media on a podcast with Jen Psaki from MSNBC.
'I use my judgment to make messages that I think are funny or stupid, but I have a goal to make you think that this man is crazy. “Why is he talking about his own family that way?”
'But to be honest, then you get all these retweets, quotes, and everyone folds over it.
“I think the internet is a place where it is difficult to break through, and it's hard to break through, especially if you don't say something that is controversial, or somehow unexpected,” he added .
In February 2013, when I reported about a story about him, while Jack was a 20-year-old second-year student at Yale, he refused to talk to me, but instead admitted his best friend to act as his spokesperson and my questions to answer. The friend also asked to stay anonymous.
Just like his son, the father of Schlossberg has long been a controversial figure within the Kennedy family, reveals a narrow source.

In the aftermath of the crash there was a fight between the Kennedy and Bessette families on funeral plans.
Anne Freeman, Bessette's mother had buried near Greenwich, Connecticut, the location of her family house. But the Besettes feared that the Kennedys might be planning to have the couple buried in the Kennedy family plot in Massachusetts.
To eliminate the funeral disposable, a secret meeting was held in New York attended by Ed and Ted Kennedy's wife, Vicki Reggie, according to references in RFK Jr.'s diary.
It was finally decided that the bodies of John, Carolyn and Lauren would be cremated and bury their ashes at sea.
In his diary that was leaked to the New York Post, RFK Jr. That: 'All the Bessette family knows that Ed Carolyn hated and did everything in his power to make her life miserable and … he plague, bullied, bullied, the shattered, mourning mother. '
Years later Bobby Jr. Being a target of annoying online comments from the son of Schlossberg, Jack, who joins other Kennedys in supporting the re -election of Joe Biden while RFK Jr. Still ran like an independent candidate.

In the meantime, Bobby noted with regard to the controversy of Bessette that he had tried to “come up with a good soldier and only positive comments and thoughts” about Schlossberg.

JFK Jr. And Schlossberg in a heated dispute after Schlossberg had inserted itself, uninvited in a project for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.
Schlossberg wanted to be involved in making a film about the role of President Kennedy in the Arts.
When John Jr. Heard about it, he was furious, a Kennedy friend told me in an interview for my book.
“It was what John could talk about,” the friend remembered.
“He continued about how Ed should have consulted him and wondered if ED should be involved in the project … He saw Ed's involvement in the tribute as poaching.
“The two spruce, which resulted in the cancellation of the project.”
