Overview
- Daryl Hannah published a March 6 New York Times op-ed arguing the series’ version of her is untrue and calling the treatment of women in the show “textbook misogyny.”
- Hannah rejected specific scenes as fabrications, stating she never used cocaine, pressured marriage, intruded on a memorial, desecrated a family heirloom, planted stories in the press, or compared Jacqueline Onassis’ death to a dog’s.
- She wrote that viewers have sent “hostile” and even threatening messages after assuming the dramatization reflects fact.
- FX’s limited series continues to post strong viewership, with reports citing roughly 25 million hours watched across early episodes as producers defend creative choices drawn from published sources without family consultation.
- Public figures portrayed or referenced have pushed back on accuracy, including Annette Bening and designer Narciso Rodriguez, while JFK Jr.’s nephew Jack Schlossberg has criticized the project and Jamie Lee Curtis publicly backed Hannah’s stance.
