of Vogue the political correspondent went to X during the second inauguration of the President Donald Trump on Monday, January 20 and asked the question“True or False: Usha Vance is way hotter than Jackie O.”
Schlossberg’s post drew immediate reactions, with user X responding: “That’s your grandma!!!!”
“I’ll be honest, I think most people don’t do hotness rankings involving their grandmothers,” someone else replied, while others wrote: “Are you that desperate for engagement?” and “It’s not too late to delete this.”
Later on Monday, Schlossberg, 32, admitted that he had surfed the internet comparing the former First Lady, an enduring style icon, to Usha, who stepped into her new role as Second Lady when her husband she was sworn in as vice president.
“I’m a literal pervert,” he mocked via X. “I called my hot grandma… have I lost her at all? Jesus … this kid will do anything for attention. Your grandfather would be ashamed. Seriously. Time to get a job.”
Schlossberg is the only grandson of Kennedy Onassis and the president John F. Kennedyand the youngest son of Caroline Kennedy AND Edwin Schlossberg. it stepped into the limelight last year after his quirky TikTok and Instagram videos went viral. In July, he was hired by Vogue to cover the 2024 presidential election.
“I’m just having a good time. I’m a fun, quirky guy,” Jack said in a recent interview with The Anna Wintour-edited fashion outlet. “I’m a dumb goose—a dumb goose trying, just trying, to get the truth out there.”
His playful and provocative posts sometimes get him into trouble. Earlier this month, Schlossberg falsely claimed through the X he represented Justin Baldoni in his legal battle against Blake Lively.
“I have agreed to take on JUSTIN Baldoni as a client. Why? JUSTICE,” Schlossberg wrote at the time. ALL have the right to a fair trial and a diligent defense. Justin has nothing to hide, justice will be his revenge. After the BOSTON MASSACRE, John Adams represented the British at trial. Same days, different days.”
Although Schlossberg was only joking, fans and the media fell for it, with some outlets running stories claiming that he was, in fact, Baldoni’s lawyer.
Schlossberg passed the bar exam in 2023 and graduated from Harvard Law School a year ago. He jokingly doubled down on his trolling of Baldoni, posting on New Year’s Day: “My personal feelings about Justin Baldoni are irrelevant. Justin is my client, I am his lawyer. even the most despicable individuals have the right to a lawyer for their defense. I’m not a hero. I’m just doing my job.”
