FX’s «Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette» has attracted viewers across the United States, but not everyone is pleased with the series. Despite the fact that the real John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette died in a plane crash in 1999, some people connected to the couple have spoken out against the series created by Ryan Murphy.
Daryl Hannah, who dated John F. Kennedy Jr. from the late 1980s until 1994, wrote a scathing essay criticizing the series for its portrayal of her and her past relationship with the late lawyer.
«The character 'Daryl Hannah' depicted in the series is not even a distant reflection of my life, my behavior, or my relationship with John», - the actress wrote in her essay for the New York Times. «The actions and behavior attributed to me are not true. I have never done cocaine or thrown drug parties. I have never forced anyone to marry. I have never desecrated family heirlooms or interfered with anyone’s private memorials. I have never leaked stories to the press. I have never compared Jacqueline Onassis’s death to the death of a dog. It horrifies me that I even have to defend myself against a television show. These are not creative exaggerations of a personality. These are assertions about behavior—and they are false».
Daryl also noted that «a narrative requires tension. It often requires obstacles. But a real, living person is not a narrative device. There is also a gender aspect to this thinking».
«Popular culture has long elevated some women while portraying others as rivals, obstacles, or villains. Isn’t this a classic example of misogyny—humiliating one woman to elevate another?» Daryl asked.
Jack Schlossberg, the nephew of John F. Kennedy Jr., briefly commented on the show in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning and hinted at Ryan, who was the executive producer of «Love Story».
«If you want to hear from someone who has never met my family and knows nothing about us, talk to Ryan Murphy», - Jack said. «I just want people watching the show to keep one letter in mind, and that’s the capital F for fiction. This guy knows nothing about what he’s talking about and is making a ton of money off the ugly portrayal of someone else’s life»
