😱 Ryan Murphy Faces Major Backlash from Kennedy Family as JFK Jr. Series Drops After Tatiana’s Death 😱

Hollywood loves a good love story, but what happens when that story belongs to a grieving family that says enough?

Right now, Ryan Murphy is finding that out the hard way as his new JFK Jr. series moves forward just weeks after the death of Tatiana Schlossberg.

And the Kennedy family is not staying quiet.

If you’ve somehow missed it, Murphy’s latest project is “American Love Story,” an FX Hulu drama about the lives and marriage of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.

On paper, it sounds like Prime Prestige TV.

Glamorous couple, tragic ending, all the ingredients for a buzzy limited series.

The problem is that it’s scheduled to premiere next month, right on the heels of a devastating loss for the Kennedys.

Tatiana, JFK Jr.’s niece and Caroline Kennedy’s daughter, died at just 35 after a battle with leukemia.

For a family already defined by public grief, this timing feels like a fresh hit.

According to insiders, some relatives honestly thought the show would be pushed back.

One source close to the family described it as a very sorrowful time for Caroline and for everybody in the family right now.

So, you can understand why seeing billboards and headlines about a glossy recreation of their most famous tragedy isn’t exactly landing well.

But here’s the thing: this tension didn’t come out of nowhere.

Tatiana’s brother, Jack Schlossberg, has been calling out the project for months.

On Instagram, he told fans that the family was never consulted about the series and has nothing to do with it.

He said admiration for his uncle is fine, but turning that legacy into what he called a grotesque money maker is a different story.

In other words, viewers aren’t the only ones questioning how far is too far.

Murphy, for his part, hasn’t exactly backed down.

On the “This is Gavin Newsom” podcast, he called it an odd choice to be angry about a relative you really don’t remember.

That comment did not go over well.

Jack fired back again, accusing Murphy of making millions off his uncle while not contributing to the causes JFK Jr. cared about.

He then did something very specific.

He listed personal memories, nicknames, car rides, that wedding where he served as ring bearer, and the funeral where he remembers the music.

It was his way of saying, “You don’t get to tell me what I remember.”

Now, layer Tatiana’s death on top of all that.

You have a family mourning a young mother, a daughter, a niece, and at the same time, watching Hollywood roll out a romanticized version of their pain.

For some relatives, that’s not just uncomfortable; it feels deeply insensitive.

As of right now, there’s no sign the premiere date is moving.

Murphy’s team has stayed quiet, and “American Love Story” is still coming.

The real question is, will viewers see it as a tribute to a legendary couple or as one more example of Hollywood ignoring a family’s grief for the sake of a hit show?

Let us know where you land in the comments.

Are you planning to watch, or does this timing cross the line for you?

The situation raises broader questions about the ethics of storytelling in Hollywood and the responsibilities creators have when dealing with real-life tragedies.

As the premiere approaches, the tension between artistic expression and familial grief continues to unfold, leaving audiences to ponder the true cost of entertainment in the face of personal loss.

The Kennedy family’s legacy is already steeped in public scrutiny, and this latest development only adds another layer to the complex narrative surrounding their lives.

In a world where stories are often commodified, the challenge remains: how to honor the past without exploiting it.

As viewers prepare for the series, they must also grapple with the implications of watching a dramatized version of a family’s pain and the potential impact on those still grieving.

The conversation about the intersection of fame, family, and tragedy is far from over, and it will be interesting to see how this story develops in the coming weeks.
