On April 21, 2021, the @creepymania_ TikTok account posted a video that purportedly showed a photograph of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy's bloody shirt from the day he died. He was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963, while riding in a car in Dallas, Texas. https://www.tiktok.com/@creepymania_/video/6953809315509718278 The video was viewed more than 1 million times. Its caption read: John F. Kennedy's bloodstained shirt he was wearing the day he was assassinated in 1963. It's true that the picture shows Kennedy's bloody shirt from the day he died. We found several matching photographs on Getty Images that were credited to the National Archives. The TikTok video showed the back of Kennedy's bloody shirt: We also found a picture of the front of the shirt: A third image on the Getty Images website showed what was described as Kennedy's bloody and bullet-riddled shirt: In 2019, Kennedy's bloody shirt made the news after a hoax went around that claimed reality TV show star Kim Kardashian had gifted the item to one of her children, North. This was not true. At the time, People.com reported: Kardashian tweeted that the rumor was fake and a sick joke. Also related to Kennedy's assassination, we found reporting from 2013 where the Houston Chronicle and The Associated Press chronicled another bloody shirt. This one belonged to Texas Gov. John Connally, who was also injured by the gunfire. At the time, Connally's shirt was set to go on exhibit to mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination: Connally was seriously wounded but survived the ordeal. He later died in 1993.
