Ryan Murphy Slammed by Kennedy Family Over JFK Jr. Series Timing After Tatiana Schlossberg’s Death

Hollywood producer Ryan Murphy is facing sharp criticism from Kennedy family insiders who say the timing of his upcoming TV drama is “insensitive” given the recent tragic loss of Tatiana Schlossberg.

The FX/Hulu series American Love Story, which dramatizes the lives and marriage of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, is still set to premiere next month, just weeks after the death of Tatiana, JFK Jr.’s niece, who passed away at age 35 after a battle with leukemia.

According to Page Six, some relatives “assumed that the show would be pushed back.” That has not happened.

“This is a very sorrowful time for Caroline and for everybody in the family right now,” a source close to the Kennedy family told the outlet.

This isn’t the first time Murphy, 60, has found himself at the center of the family’s anger.

Jack Schlossberg, John F. Kennedy’s grandson and Tatiana’s brother, previously slammed the American Horror Story producer via Instagram.

“For those wondering whether his family was ever consulted, or has anything to do with, the new shows being made about him, the answer is no,” Jack, 32, wrote via his Instagram Stories in June, per E! News. “For the record, I think admiration for my Uncle John is great. What I don’t think is great is profiting off of it in a grotesque way.”

Murphy later responded to Jack’s comments when he appeared on the This Is Gavin Newsom podcast the following month.

“I thought it was an odd choice to be mad about your relative that you really don’t remember,” Murphy said at the time.

It didn’t take long for Jack to fire back.

“You’re making millions off John, making a public spectacle of it but won’t contribute any of your riches to the causes he championed, or the legacy of public service he represented,” Jack wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post.

He then went on to share specific memories of JFK Jr.

“Hey @ryanmurphyproductions: My earliest memories are of John calling me Jackolatern and ‘the nudist,’ picking me up from school, his Pontiac convertible,” Jack added. “I remember being the ring bearer at his wedding and the day he died. I remember Wyclef singing at his funeral. More memories are passed down from stories —like the time he locked himself out of a car in an intersection and asked the guy screaming at him if he could borrow a golf club to smash the window to get the keys, and then did it.”

As of now, American Love Story remains on track for its planned release, with no indication that the timeline will change. Whether the criticism will impact the show’s reception remains to be seen.

Representatives for Murphy did not immediately respond to Parade’s request for comment.
