A Massachusetts woman is suing the National Enquirer over a story claiming that she gave birth to Senator Edward Kennedy’s "love child" in 1984, and participated in a 20-year cover-up of the purported scandal. Caroline Bilodeau-Allen charges that "virtually every critical fact" in two 2006 stories is "false and defamatory," according to a lawsuit filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Boston. She denies Enquirer claims that her son Christopher was fathered by the Democratic senator, and that the politician paid her at least $15,000 in hush money. Christopher, now 22, is also a plaintiff in the complaint, which names the tabloid’s corporate parent, American Media, and two reporters as defendants. The woman is asking for $75,000, which doesn’t seem like much. You can see the Kennedy story here and here.
