Love Story Showrunner Wanted Distance From the Real Kennedy Clan
"As a writer, it's more healthy and effective to have some distance from the subject matter," he told . "It allows you to be a lot more objective in how you approach the material, versus when you're talking to people personally, you feel a sense of responsibility of relaying exactly what they're telling you because they've given you their time."
"For those wondering whether his family was ever consulted, or has anything to do with the new show being made about him, the answer is no, and there's really not much we can do," he wrote on IG stories."
"odd choice to be mad about your relative that you really don't remember."
"that the actor playing the sexiest man alive is bloated !"
Connor Hines, showrunner of Love Story, declined to involve the Kennedy family in the series to preserve creative distance and objectivity. Hines said distance allows writers to be more objective and avoid feeling responsible to relay personal accounts exactly. Love Story dramatizes John F. Kennedy Jr.'s life and death as part of Ryan Murphy's dramatizations of real people. Jack Schlossberg publicly called the series "grotesque," confirmed the family was not consulted, and urged donations to the John F. Kennedy Library. Ryan Murphy called Schlossberg's anger an "odd choice," and Schlossberg countered with an insult about the actor's appearance. The first three episodes stream on Hulu.
