The Daily Wire had more details to report:
Costume designer Patricia Field said she once kicked John F. Kennedy Jr. out of her Manhattan boutique because he made rude comments toward her transgender employees.
“The Devil Wears Prada” costume designer, who had a reputation for hiring transgender employees, made the claim in her new book, titled “Pat in the City: My Life of Fashion, Style and Breaking All the Rules.”
According to a report published Sunday by Page Six, Field said in the memoir that the younger Kennedy had come into her shop along with his then girlfriend, actress Daryl Hannah, and appeared to take issue with the fact that Hannah was getting more attention than he was from the staffers.
“Drag queens love a good mermaid,” Field wrote in the book, suggesting that Hannah’s role as a mermaid in the 1984 film “Splash” was the reason that her staffers “went gaga” over the actress — and all but ignored Kennedy.
“He looked around and announced, ‘Bunch of freaks.’ If JFK Jr. was looking for attention with his comment, he got his wish,” the “Sex and the City” costume designer wrote. “All the queens at the shop were more than capable of dismissing anyone who acted up.”
Field recalled that it had been an employee named Codie who let Kennedy have it: “If you don’t like it here, get the f*** out.”
“There was no room for interpretation. He went to wait outside while his girlfriend got the royal treatment,” Field added.

The Daily Mail had more details to add:
Famed New York City costume designer Patricia Field claimed she once threw John F. Kennedy Junior out of her Manhattan boutique after he berated transgender staff members for paying more attention to his then-girlfriend, actress Daryl Hannah, than him.
In her new memoir, Pat in the City: My Life of Fashion, Style and Breaking All the Rules, Field recalled how JFK Jr. and Hannah stopped into her downtown storefront, which was always famous for hiring transgender employees.
Field noted the staff members were ‘making a fuss’ over Hannah, causing JFK to grow angry.
‘He looked around and announced, ‘Bunch of freaks,” she wrote, according to Page Six.
‘If JFK Jr. was looking for attention with his comment, he got his wish. All the queens at the shop were more than capable of dismissing anyone who acted up.’
‘If you don’t like it here, get the f**k out,’ Field wrote an employee named Codie said.
‘There was no room for interpretation,’ she wrote. ‘He went to wait outside while his girlfriend got the royal treatment.’
It’s fair to say JFK Jr. would be a Republican in today’s America.
Kudos to him. Demonstrates he was sane before culture became insane. https://t.co/yZ5BVVePue
