The first photos of Ryan MurphyThe next series ”American love story“Have created controversy, a full seven months Before the premiere date for February 2026 – and Murphy strikes back. The first part of the new potential franchise-which comes after the success of the respective American “Horror,” Crime “and” Sport “stories-will cover the relationship between Tabloid favorite” 90s John F. Kennedy, Jr. And Carolyn Bessette. The couple died in 1999 when a plane Kennedy piloted crashed. The photo series, with Paul Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon in character such as Kennedy and Bessette, was published on Instagram June 13, Set a week -long firestorm of heated internet and debate about thought.
In a “The Cut” piece June 16Author Danya Issawi criticized the style elections for Kennedy and Bessette. “These do not seem to be the discreet, tailor-made and soft yet structured Calvin Klein, Prada and Yohji Yamamoto garment Besset-Kennedy Bar in the 90s, nor do they remind them,” wrote Issawi and took specific problems with the fashion goods that look like “modern 90s.” In an interview with VogueBessette’s hair colorist Brad John’s stacked, “No one would think Carolyn in the 90s would ever have that color from me. It’s for 2024.”
“Why didn’t Vogue call us and asked,” Let’s talk about your decisions. What are your reference photos? “, Said Murphy in response.” It is interesting because Vogue called several times with an interest in covering the show, but one of the first things they write is this without even checking with our us? “Murphy also told Variety that several of the pieces were not final.
“We write a story about a person – an unknown person – who falls in love with the most famous man in the world and suddenly she cannot leave her house. She was constantly photographed and called a pussy by the paparazzis,” Murphy explained.
Joining the critical choir was actual Kennedy Jack Schlossberg (Here is a family tree for the curious), who said the family was not involved in the production.
“See, the right to integrity – which includes the ability to control your own name, image and equality – does not survive death in the state of New York, and for that matter he has considered a public person,” Scholssberg said In an Instagram video. So there’s not much we can do. But I hope that those who do these shows seriously take what he stood for in his life, everything he achieved in it. And that they donate some of the winnings to what they do to John F. Kennedy library. “For the record I think my uncle John is good. What I don’t think is good is to benefit from it on a grotese.
Also for the record, Murphy said he would donate to John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. He also added that he was a fan of Schlossberg’s Instagram videos “when he only lip synchronized to” 90s girl groups. I want more of it. But I think it would be really difficult if your relatives are always in the media. “
Murphy’s series is no stranger for controversy. Both “monsters” seasons, who each handled real killer, ignited heated debates. One of these subjects, Erik Menendez, even issued a statement himself that criticized the show. “I find it interesting that he has issued a statement without having seen the show.” Murphy told us Entertainment tonight At that time, he seems to be echo in Kennedy-Bessette Brouhaha.
“If I ever do something like that again, I have to put a warning label on top of the caption and explain to people what the process is,” he concluded in the variety interview.
