The newly released series of interviews with former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy have stirred up quite the controversy and excitement for listeners who want to get a glimpse of what life was like in the White House for the Kennedys. The audiotapes are from the 1964 interviews with historian and former White House aide Arthur Schlesinger Jr., just months after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. These sensitive recordings were under lock and key at the Kennedy Library in Boston and weren't supposed to be released until 50 years after Jackie passed away. But in order to get ABC to drop its drama series about the Kennedy family, Jackie's daughter, Caroline Kennedy, agreed to release the tapes earlier than expected. Here are 10 shocking revelations from the Jackie O. tapes:

1. Jackie believed LBJ was behind JFK's assassination

   One of the most shocking revelations from the Jackie O. tapes was that she thought Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was responsible for her husband's death. Mrs. Kennedy believed LBJ was at the heart of the plot to kill the president, and he was joined by a group of Texas businessmen and gunman Lee Harvey Oswald. Jackie suspected that LBJ had his own agenda about being vice president and was only taking the position to undue his problems in the Senate.

2. Jackie had her own affairs

   The tapes reveal that Jackie had a few shocking infidelities of her own. The former first lady admitted to having an affair with Hollywood star William Holden and Fiat founder Gianni Agnelli while married to the president. Mrs. Kennedy got revenge for her husband's many flings, but noted that weeks before JFK's assassination the couple had turned a new leaf and were planning on having more children.

3. Jackie was not a fan of Martin Luther King Jr.

   Mrs. Kennedy made it clear in the audiotapes that she did not like Martin Luther King Jr. for many reasons. The former first lady called King a "phony" and a "terrible man" because he was also engaged in extramarital affairs. According to FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, the civil rights leader was secretly recorded trying to arrange a sex party while in DC for the March on Washington. Hoover also told Jackie that King was bragging about being drunk at JFK's funeral, and snickered about how they almost dropped his coffin. None of these claims have been confirmed, but Jackie's daughter, Caroline Kennedy, expressed that this information was manipulated by Hoover and was part of the FBI's smear campaign against MLK.

4. The Kennedys had an old-fashioned relationship

   Mrs. Kennedy revealed that she and her husband had an old-fashioned marriage, and described it as "a rather terribly Victorian or Asiatic relationship." She also admitted to getting all of her opinions from her husband, which were often directed at people who had issues with the Kennedy administration. Jackie felt like her role as a mother and wife was to create "a climate of affection and comfort and detente," she said.

5. Jackie thought women should stay out of politics

   One of the most shocking revelations from the tapes were of Mrs. Kennedy sharing her thoughts on women in politics. Despite the fact that Jackie was portrayed as a cultured, wise and progressive thinker, she did not feel women had a place in politics because they're "just not suited to it," she said. Jackie said she worried about "emotional" women entering politics and was humored by "violently liberal women" who disliked JFK and sided with his competitor, Adlai Stevenson. She also shared her true feelings about the former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, describing her as a "prune bitter, kind of pushy, horrible woman."

6. Jackie knew of JFK's womanizing

   The audiotapes reveal that Mrs. Kennedy was well aware of her husband's adulterous acts, especially his White House intern flings. Jackie suggested that the president was having an affair with a 19-year-old White House intern after finding underwear in their bedroom. She said the first adulterous act as president happened on the night of the inauguration when she went to bed early.

7. Mrs. Kennedy loathed the French

   Despite the fact that Mrs. Kennedy was known for wearing French clothing and speaking the language fluently, she apparently had a deep-seeded hatred for the French. According to the Jackie O. tapes, the former first lady said she "loathed" the French and "they are not very nice, they are all for themselves." Even her onetime hero French President Charles de Gaulle failed to impress Mrs. Kennedy upon meeting each other. In the tapes, she refers to de Gaulle as an "egomaniac" and "spiteful man."

8. President Kennedy cried during the Bay of Pigs and Cuban missile crisis

   During the recordings, Jackie revealed a softer side of JFK that many didn't know or see. She recalled the president crying in their bedroom during the Bay of Pigs and Cuban missile crisis. In the event of a potential nuclear war, Jackie pleaded with JFK to not send her and the children to Camp David and to let them stay at the White House with him. Mrs. Kennedy said she told the president, "I just want to be with you, and I want to die with you, and the children do, too – than live without you."

9. JFK feared an LBJ presidency

   Jackie shared the shocking revelation that JFK was strongly opposed to Lyndon B. Johnson ever becoming president. Even though LBJ was her husband's presidential running mate, she had very few positive things to say about the vice president, describing him as an uninspired drinker. Jackie said JFK didn't believe the vice president would be fit for the role as commander in chief because he felt he "could never get an opinion out of Lyndon at any cabinet or national security meeting," she said. Jackie also expressed that LBJ seemed more interested in "the panoply that goes with power, but none of the responsibility."

10. JFK was a ritualistic and religious man

    The tapes exposed JFK's personal life as a ritualistic and religious man. She said the president would change into his pajamas and take a 45-minute nap every day. Jackie shared that the president would say his prayers kneeling on the edge of the bed every night and would attend church, but still had his doubts about faith.
