Howard Stern Says He Knew Carolyn Bessette and Backs Critique of FX’s Love Story

His remarks highlight a dispute over invented scenes in a hit series nearing its finale.

Overview

  • Stern told his radio audience he knew Carolyn Bessette and said he would keep the specifics of their connection private.
  • He said he is watching FX’s Love Story about Bessette and John F. Kennedy Jr., with the finale set for March 26 on FX and streaming the next day.
  • He recalled posing for a 1996 George magazine cover overseen by Kennedy, describing an awkward colonial costume and saying Kennedy came to the photo shoot.
  • He noted that Kennedy later gave him a candid on-air interview, a moment also described by Kennedy’s aide RoseMarie Terenzio in her memoir.
  • He voiced support for Daryl Hannah’s complaint about her portrayal in the series, saying she is right to object to scenes she says are false.
