Love to Death: The Adventures of the Stars Who Ruined Them – From Monroe to Princess Diana

John F Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe first met at a Peter Lawford party. Both at this time were not free, but that did not stop them. A stormy romance began between celebrities. For a long time they met either in expensive hotels or in rented apartments. However, the senator dreamed of a serious political career, and an affair with an actress, who was notorious, did not add points to him. He needed stability, and Marilyn needed recognition. At some point, she got tired of being his plaything… Monroe was convinced that if she became the president’s wife, her attitude towards him would change. On this basis, she had serious psychological problems.

She couldn’t imagine life without Kennedy. There were rumors that the actress even became especially close to John’s sister Patricia in order to be closer to the famous family. Apparently the politician didn’t like it and he asked his younger brother to talk to the fatal blonde.

On August 5, 1962, Monroe was found dead in her bed with a telephone receiver in her hands. The cause of death was an overdose of sleeping pills. Rumors around the resounding affair did not subside. There was a version that Kennedy ordered Monroe’s assassination, fearing exposure. After all, many famous personalities poured their souls into Marilyn, and the 35th President of the United States was no exception.

On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was mortally wounded by a gunshot. It happened as the presidential motorcade was driving down Elm Street in Dallas. The murder of the politician has not yet been elucidated.

After a failed marriage to Prince Charles and an unhealthy relationship with Dr Hasnat Khan, Princess Diana found happiness with Dodi Al Fayed. But it didn’t last long…

The couple’s first meeting took place in apartments on the French Riviera, where Lady Di arrived with her sons at the invitation of Dodi’s father, Mohammed. Since then, the lovers have not left each other. At first, no one knew about the affair, but after the photo of the journalist, who captured Diana and Dodi on one of the producer’s yachts, the paparazzi began to chase the lovers.

According to rumors, the intentions of the two were serious. Shortly before her death, Diana consulted a trusted priest about the possibility of marriage between people of different religions. She even considered converting to Islam.

According to Dodi’s bodyguard, the day before the tragedy, the producer bought the ring, allegedly to propose to the princess. On August 31, 1997, the couple had dinner at an expensive restaurant in central Paris. Dodi and Diana wanted to go unnoticed, but at the last moment they changed their plans. Rushing out of the restaurant, the lovers got into the car and disappeared.

Trying to evade the annoying reporters, the famous driver lost control and collided with a concrete column in the tunnel. Dodi died at the scene and Diana died in hospital. More than 20 years have passed, and the controversy surrounding this highly publicized case does not subside. Some believe that the Queen of England is responsible for the death of the rebellious princess and her lover, others are convinced that this tragedy happened through the fault of journalists.

Comedian Jim Carrey and makeup artist Catriona White met on set. White, an Irishwoman, came to America to conquer Hollywood. True, she never became an actress.

It is not known exactly when the lovers started dating, but already in 2013 they announced their separation. Catriona had a hard time breaking up, as she was obsessed with the actor. Among other things, the make-up artist could not find a normal job, because she was illegally in the United States. As a result, she entered into a fictitious marriage with cameraman Mark Burton in order to resolve the document issue.

Kerry, in turn, suffered from depression. According to friends of the comedian, he could lock himself in his apartment for a week in order to immerse himself completely in a state of apathy.

In May 2015, Jim and Catriona resumed their relationship, but a few months later they decided to go their separate ways again. White missed this shot. The girl took a lethal dose of psychotropic drugs and left a note in which she blamed the actor for her death.

Caroline Flack is known to many as Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend. Their fateful meeting took place at one of the parties of mutual friends. Initially, Flack helped the heir to the royal dynasty survive a difficult breakup with Chelsea Davy, but soon the relationship between friends took a new turn. No one knew exactly about the novel until the paparazzi released photos showing Harry leaving Caroline’s apartment.

From that moment, serious problems began in the couple’s relationship. Caroline began to be called a pervert and even accused of pedophilia due to the fact that she was 5 years older than Harry. Excessive media attention and public pressure forced the lovers to decide to separate.

After a while, Harry found his happiness with actress Meghan Markle, but Caroline was at the center of the scandal. The TV star’s boyfriend Lewis Burton has sued her, accusing her of domestic abuse. Due to a tainted reputation, the TV presenter was fired from the Love Island project. Flack was very upset by all these events.

On February 15, 2020, she was found dead in her apartment in London. In March, another hearing into the beating case was to take place, during which a video was to be shown of a half-dressed, drunk Caroline raising her hand to Burton. Obviously, the star was afraid of the publication of the material and the subsequent persecution, so she decided to take her own life.

Ariana Grande and Mac Miller have known each other for a while, but only started dating in 2016. After images in the press of the stars kissing at a sushi bar, the world learned of their romance. Fans of artists couldn’t stop staring at this beautiful couple. However, two years later, the lovers unexpectedly announced their separation. The initiator was rumored to be Ariana, who spoke of a tough work schedule. Later, it was learned that the star was tired of the toxic relationship and could no longer be a support for Mac.

The singer was hit with an outpouring of hatred from Miller fans. But Grande didn’t stay free for long: a week after the split, insiders reported on the singer’s new boyfriend, prompting a new wave of criticism.

Mack struggles to break up: during this period, he begins to have problems with alcohol and drugs again. And on September 7, 2018, the musician was found dead at his home. The cause of death was an overdose of illicit drugs.

This caused a strong reaction from the fans of the hip-hop artist. They blamed the death of singer Ariana. The artist, in turn, appealed to the investigation asking to punish, to the fullest extent of the law, the person who sold Mac a lethal dose of drugs.
