Conor Kennedy Arrested for Defending Gay Friend in Bar Fight

You may recognize Conor Kennedy as the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy and great nephew of JFK. He also dated Taylor Swift for a minute--we'll let you decide which is more relevant.

The young Kennedy was recently arrested for defending a gay friend in a bar fight. He was charged with disorderly conduct when a fight broke out after someone refused to apologize for using a homophobic slur at his friend. Police were called to the Bootsy Bellows nightclub in Aspen where the altercation took place.

Conor's father, Robert Kennedy Jr told the Aspen Times:

"Conor has always reacted against bullying. I'm happy he stood up for his friend. I'm very sorry it turned into a police incident. Conor is not liking the attention."
