What Martha Stewart Warned JFK Jr. Days Before His Plane Crash Death

JFK Jr., Carolyn Bessette's Wedding Planner Weighs in on Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Wedding LocationMartha Stewart is getting real about her shocking John F. Kennedy Jr. connection. The homemaking queen made a surprising cameo during The Real Housewives of New York City's season 16 premiere, visiting her longtime makeup artist (and new cast member) Daisy Toye for a glam session. While bonding over their love for FX's drama Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, Martha revealed a chilling, untold story from the week of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette's fatal 1999 plane crash. "I was with him the Monday before the Friday he died," the 85-year-old told Daisy during the Bravo series' Sept. 8 episode. "He called me, I was running Martha Stewart Living magazine, and he called me and said he was in trouble and could he please talk to me about what to do with George, the magazine he started. And I said, 'Of course, anything you want.'" So, the two stars met up for a one-on-one meeting that July."We had a very nice dinner," Martha continued, "and at the end of the dinner I said, 'What are you doing this weekend?' And he said, 'We're going to a wedding on Martha's Vineyard and I'm taking my wife and her sister.'" Of course, Martha had no way of knowing that then-38-year-old's single-engine plane would crash into the Atlantic soon after takeoff, killing him, Carolyn and her sister Lauren Bessette. But she had a bad feeling about the trip, nonetheless. "I said, 'Who's flying?' He said, 'I'm flying,'" Martha recounted. "I said, 'You have a copilot, right?' He said, 'No, I don't need a copilot.'"Richard Corkery/NY Daily News Archive via Getty ImagesLooking back decades later, Martha still can't believe the eeriness of her warning. "I've thought about that so many times that I told him to get a copilot," she confessed to Daisy. "I feel sorry."
