- Quick Answer: Jack Schlossberg called out Ryan Murphy for creating a "grotesque," fictionalized account of JFK Jr.’s life without family involvement, urging him to donate profits.
John F. Kennedy Jr.'s nephew, Jack Schlossberg, recently called out the new limited series Love Story and its producer, Ryan Murphy, for its portrayal of his family.
The FX series, which explores the romantic relationship of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette from their courtship to their untimely deaths in 1999, has been getting a lot of buzz among audiences since it premiered last month. It also sparked renewed interest for the couple as it made fans do more research and readings about their lives.
However, one of the prominent members of the Kennedy family has spoken out against the series' existence.
Why Jack Schlossberg is Calling Out Love Story and Ryan Murphy?
In a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning (via EW), Schlossberg offered his candid thoughts on Love Story and the creation of the series without the family's involvement.
He criticized the limited series, describing it as a "grotesque display" of exploring someone's life and making money out of it.
"Well, if you want to know someone who's never met anyone in my family, knows nothing about us, talk to Ryan Murphy," he said.
"I would just want people who do watch the show to watch it with one letter in mind, and that's a capital F for fiction. The guy knows nothing about what he's talking about, and he's making a ton of money on a grotesque display of someone else's life."
Schlossberg suggested that Murphy donate his earnings from the series to charity organizations and the JFK Library.
"I would hope that Mr. Murphy would donate some of the millions of dollars of profits that he's making to some of the causes that John championed throughout his life," he added.
"Maybe he would donate some of that money to the JFK library to help keep President Kennedy's memory alive, but he's not. He's making money. This is not a documentary. And I'll leave it at that."
Schlossberg also admitted that the timing of the series bothered him, especially after President Donald Trump rebranded the Kennedy Center and the controversies surrounding Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
"There's a lot of misinformation now and iconography being used about the Kennedy family, my family, at a time when we really can't afford to confuse people," he said.
"We really need to take every breath that we have to try to make things better. So, if Ryan Murphy really cares so much about the Kennedy family, my uncle John, maybe he would try to do something about getting Trump out of power."
