JFK Jr.'s Nephew Jack Schlossberg Takes Aim at TV Producer Ryan Murphy Over New Series

The drama continues! In a shocking turn of events, Jack Schlossberg, the nephew of the late John F. Kennedy Jr., is slamming TV producer Ryan Murphy over his new series, American Love Story.

For those who may not be aware, American Love Story is a new anthology series that will focus on the courtship between JFK Jr. and his future wife Carolyn Bessette. And let's just say, things are getting heated!

Schlossberg, the son of the late John F. Kennedy Jr.'s sister Caroline Kennedy, took Murphy to task in an Instagram post for allegedly 'making millions' from one of his family's many painful tragedies; Murphy is pictured in 2018 in Beverly Hills

According to reports, Schlossberg took to Instagram to call out Murphy for allegedly making millions off of one of the most painful tragedies in American history - the plane crash that claimed the lives of JFK Jr., Bessette, and her sister Lauren.

Schlossberg, who is only 32 years old, has been vocal about his distaste for Murphy's new series. In a scathing post, he wrote: "You're making millions off John, making a public spectacle of it but won't contribute any of your riches to the causes he championed, or the legacy of public service he represented."

But that wasn't all - Schlossberg also took aim at Murphy for allegedly refusing to donate his earnings from American Love Story to institutions dear to the Kennedy family.

Schlossberg has been blasting Murphy, 59, on social media for weeks over his latest series, American Love Story. The first season focuses on the courtship between Schlossberg's uncle JFK Jr. and his future wife Carolyn Bessette (pictured together on March 9, 1999, in NYC

And if you thought things couldn't get any juicier, just wait! In a bizarre twist, Schlossberg even brought up Murphy's weight, writing: "Also odd that the actor playing the sexiest man alive is bloated!"

But it seems like Murphy has had enough of Schlossberg's drama. In response to his Instagram post, Murphy wrote: "@jackuno I absolutely will."

As for what's next, only time will tell! But one thing is certain - this feud between Schlossberg and Murphy is far from over.

Schlossberg was infuriated by Murphy's claim on California Governor Gavin Newsom's podcast that he doesn't 'remember' his late uncle, and therefore shouldn't be so upset by the series

What's Going On?

For those who may not be aware, American Love Story is a new anthology series that will focus on the courtship between JFK Jr. and his future wife Carolyn Bessette. And let's just say, things are getting dramatic!

According to reports, the series will show what started out as a beautiful union for the young couple, widely regarded as American royalty, begin to fray under the stress of the relentless microscope and navel gaze of tabloid media.

In his caption, Schlossberg went on to demonstrate that he very much remembered his late uncle, both with his own memories and family anecdotes about JFK Jr. that have been passed on to him

The pressures of their careers and rumored family discord ended with their tragic deaths when his private plane crashed into the ocean on a hazy summer night off the coast of Massachusetts.
