Overview
- Schlossberg, speaking on Katie Couric’s podcast Wednesday, said the show takes advantage of his family and should be watched with a capital F for fiction.
- He said no one in the Kennedy family was consulted during production and stressed his issue is with the show’s framing, not with people who enjoyed it.
- He described private reactions as amused, saying Caroline Kennedy laughed at a clip of her portrayal and calling an outfit on his father inaccurate.
- The nine-part FX drama, produced by Ryan Murphy and drawn from Elizabeth Beller’s book, became the most-watched limited series on Hulu and Disney+.
- As he campaigns for a U.S. House seat in New York’s 12th District, his critique adds to broader pushback from people portrayed, while producers cite research and vetting.
