Carole Radziwill stands up for Jack Schlossberg in response to Ryan Murphy's remarks concerning a potential JFK Jr. TV series.
In the world of television, Ryan Murphy's latest production, "American Love Story," has stirred controversy. The series, which dramatizes the courtship and tragic deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, has faced criticism from those close to the real-life characters.
Jack Schlossberg, the son of Edwin Schlossberg and JFK Jr.'s sister Caroline Kennedy, has raised objections over the upcoming series. He accused Murphy of grotesquely profiting off his late uncle's death, a sentiment echoed by JFK Jr.'s cousin Carole Radziwill, who was married to Anthony Radziwill.
Schlossberg expressed his displeasure on Instagram in June, stating that his family was not consulted or involved in the new shows being made about JFK Jr., and there's not much they can do to stop "American Love Story."
Radziwill, a former star of The Real Housewives of New York City, has also spoken out against Murphy. She shared Murphy's comments and called them unkind and hurtful. Radziwill, who opened up about the trauma of JFK Jr. and Carolyn's tragic deaths during her RHONY tenure, defended Schlossberg in his feud with Murphy.
The actress who plays Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in "American Love Story" is Naomi Watts. Sarah Pidgeon, cast as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, expressed her desire to honor Bessette-Kennedy's memory in her portrayal. Pidgeon acknowledged the responsibility that comes with playing such a widely beloved character and expected strong opinions about the casting.
This is not the first time that Ryan Murphy has faced criticism from the subjects of his docu-dramas. Real people depicted in Murphy's shows The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story and The Assassination of Gianni Versace have publicly criticized him in the past.
Murphy, the creator of American Horror Story, complained that it was an "odd choice" for Schlossberg to object to a depiction of a relative that he doesn't remember. However, the ability to control one's name, image, and likeness does not extend beyond death in New York, where "American Love Story" is being filmed.
As of the provided information, "American Love Story" does not yet have a premiere date on FX. The series is sure to generate further discussion as its release approaches.
