**Kennedy Nephew Slams JFK Jr. TV Series as ‘Grotesque’ Profiting**

**NEW YORK, NY** – Jack Schlossberg, the son of Caroline Kennedy and nephew of John F. Kennedy Jr., has publicly criticized the upcoming Ryan Murphy series, “American Love Story,” which dramatizes the romance between JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.

Schlossberg took to social media to express his concerns, stating that his family was not consulted about the series and that legal constraints prevent them from halting its production. “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. And there’s really not much we can do.”

While acknowledging the public’s admiration for his uncle, Schlossberg condemned what he sees as exploitative “profiting.” “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.” He urged the show’s creators to donate a portion of their profits and accurately portray JFK Jr.’s legacy.

The series has already faced controversy after the release of initial photos, with some criticizing the casting of Sarah Pidgeon as Bessette. Murphy defended the show and his casting choices, noting that the scrutiny of the actress mirrors the intense media attention Bessette experienced in real life.

“American Love Story” stars Paul Kelly as JFK Jr., alongside Naomi Watts as Jackie Kennedy, Grace Gummer as Caroline Kennedy, Sydney Lemmon as Lauren Bessette and Alessandro Nivola as Calvin Klein. A release date for the series has not yet been announced.
