  • Daryl Hannah publicly criticized her portrayal in Ryan Murphy's new series, Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, calling it an inaccurate representation of her life and relationship with John F. Kennedy Jr.
  • In a guest essay for The New York Times, Hannah denied specific actions attributed to her character, including cocaine use, pressuring marriage or desecrating family heirlooms.
  • Hannah stated that the show's inaccurate depiction led to her receiving “hostile” and “threatening” messages from viewers, emphasizing that “real names are not fictional tools.”
  • She argued that using a real, living person as a narrative device and tearing down one woman to uplift another constitutes “textbook misogyny.”
  • John F. Kennedy Jr.'s nephew, Jack Schlossberg, also condemned the series, accusing Murphy of “profiting off of it in a grotesque way” without consulting the family.
