00:00If you want to know someone who's never met anyone in my family, knows nothing about us, talk to Ryan
00:05Murphy.
00:05I would just want people who do watch the show to watch it with one letter in mind, and that's
00:10a capital F for fiction.
00:12Jack Schlossberg once again blasted TV super producer Ryan Murphy for his Hulu series Love Story,
00:19which portrays the romance between the late John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.
00:23Schlossberg, who was Kennedy's nephew, called the popular series grotesque
00:27in a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning that aired on March 1st.
00:31When asked about the show, Schlossberg blasted it and suggested Murphy donate some of the profits he's making on it.
00:37I would hope that Mr. Murphy would donate some of the millions of dollars of profits that he's making
00:43to maybe some of the causes that John championed throughout his life.
00:46Justice, maybe he would donate some of that money to the JFK library to help keep President Kennedy's memory alive,
00:51but he's not, he's making money.
00:53Schlossberg initially blasted Murphy for profiting off Love Story in July 2025, writing on Instagram at the time,
01:00You're making millions off John, making a public spectacle of it,
01:03but won't contribute any of your riches to the causes he championed,
01:07or the legacy of public service he represented.
01:09Ryan Murphy defended himself on Gavin Newsom's podcast,
01:13saying he was surprised Schlossberg had negative feelings about Love Story,
01:17since he allegedly didn't even remember his late uncle.
01:20To that, Jack clapped back.
01:22Hey Ryan Murphy Productions, my earliest memories are of John calling me Jack-o'-lantern and The Nudist,
01:29picking me up from school, his Pontiac convertible.
01:32I remember being the ring bearer at his wedding and the day he died.
01:36I remember Wyclef singing at his funeral.
01:39Schlossberg previously shared his disdain for the show based on Kennedy and Carolyn,
01:43who both died in a 1999 plane crash, alongside her sister, Lauren Bessette.
01:49He said on his Instagram stories, per E! News,
01:52For those wondering whether his family was ever consulted,
01:55or has anything to do with the new shows being made about him,
01:58the answer is no.
02:00For the record, I think admiration for my uncle John is great.
02:03What I don't think is great is profiting off of it in a grotesque way.
02:08Love Story quickly became one of the most talked about shows on television,
02:11after premiering on February 12th.
02:13Although the Hulu series romanticizes Kennedy and Bessette's relationship,
02:17in private their dynamic was more complex.
02:20Sources told Page Six that while Kennedy,
02:22the only son of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis,
02:26loved attention, Bessette was reserved.
02:29The show initially caused controversy due to casting choices
02:32and criticism of Carolyn's wardrobe in the series.
02:36CBK, a fashion icon, is played by actress Sarah Pidgeon,
02:40while JFK Jr. is played by actor Paul Anthony Kelly.
