Jack Schlossberg eviscerates Ryan Murphy for his Kennedy-based series ‘Love Story’: ‘Grotesque’

Jack Schlossberg once again blasted Ryan Murphy for his Hulu series “Love Story,” which portrays the romance between the late John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.
Schlossberg, who was Kennedy’s nephew, called the popular series “grotesque” in an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” that aired on March 1.
“If you want to know someone who’s never met anyone in my family, knows nothing about us, talk to Ryan Murphy,” Schlossberg said when asked about the show.
“The guy knows nothing about what he’s talking about, and he’s making a ton of money on a grotesque display of someone else’s life.”
Back in July 2025, Schlossberg blasted Murphy for profiting off “Love Story.”
“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,” Schlossberg wrote on Instagram at the time.
The Yale graduate also called out Murphy’s comments on the “This Is Gavin Newsom” podcast, when the producer said he was surprised Schlossberg had negative feelings about “Love Story,” since he allegedly didn’t even “remember” his late uncle.
“Hey @ryanmurphyproductions: My earliest memories are of John calling me Jackolatern and ‘the nudist,’ picking me up from school, his Pontiac convertible,” Schlossberg recalled.
“I remember being the ring bearer at his wedding and the day he died. I remember Wyclef singing at his funeral,” he continued.
Schlossberg, 33, previously shared his disdain for the show based on Kennedy and Bessette, who both died in a 1999 plane crash alongside Carolyn’s sister, Lauren Bessette.
“For those wondering whether his family was ever consulted, or has anything to do with, the new shows being made about him, the answer is no,” he said on his Instagram Stories, per E! News.
“For the record, I think admiration for my Uncle John is great,” he added. “What I don’t think is great is profiting off of it in a grotesque way.”
“Love Story” quickly became one of the most talked-about shows on television after premiering on Feb. 12. Although the Hulu series romanticizes Kennedy and Bessette’s relationship, in private, their dynamic was more complex.
Sources told Page Six that while Kennedy — the only son of of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis — loved attention, Bessette was reserved.
“They would have huge fights. Major fights. Crazy fights,’” a source familiar with the couple told us.
Another society insider shared, “He made it hard for her. [Carolyn] got the raw end of the deal. She did what she could to keep it together. He was very spoiled.”

Jack Schlossberg reveals sister Tatiana’s final words to him before tragic death

Jack Schlossberg revealed his late sister Tatiana Schlossberg’s last words to him were about his campaign.
The 33-year-old aspiring congressman told “CBS Sunday Morning” viewers over the weekend that he “knows she’s still rooting for” his political career.
“The last thing that she said to me was, ‘You better win,’” Jack revealed on Sunday. “No one knew me better, and I knew no one better than her.”
He also reflected on growing up with Tatiana, who lost her battle to acute myeloid leukemia in December 2025 at 35, and their older sister, Rose Schlossberg.
“It’s brutal [to have two sisters]. Absolutely brutal,” Jack said. “They don’t let you get away with anything. My style is never good enough. I’ve never gotten an answer right in my entire life.”
However, he acknowledged, “In all honesty, they taught me everything I know about how to be a strong person.”
Jack and Rose — along with their parents, Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, Tatiana’s husband, George Moran, and the couple’s two kids — signed the statement announcing the environmental journalist’s death last year.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” they wrote at the time.
Jack subsequently took to Instagram to share a variety of quotes, kicking off with a line from Tatiana’s “Inconspicuous Consumption” book, published in 2019.
“It’s up to us to create a country that takes seriously its obligations to the planet,” it read. “Essentially, what I am describing is hard work with possibly limited success for the rest of your life. But we have to do it.”
Jack followed this with screenshots of poems about grief, as well as quotes from former presidents, including their grandfather John F. Kennedy.
The social media tribute, which was not captioned, concluded with a throwback snap of Jack and Tatiana standing with their hands over their hearts at an event.
The political commentator paused his campaign to replace retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) in New York’s 12th Congressional District to grieve, resuming in January.
His run for Congress began in November 2025, the same month Tatiana went public with her cancer news in an emotional New Yorker essay.
Jack reacted with an Instagram quote at the time, which read, “Life is short — let it rip.”
Tatiana was diagnosed with the disease in May 2024, immediately after giving birth to daughter Josephine, now 1.
She and Moran, who wed in September 2017 in Massachusetts, welcomed son Edwin in 2022.

Irina Shayk brings the drama on SAG Actor Awards 2026 red carpet

Irina Shayk’s latest look fits like a glove.
The model made quite the entrance on the SAG Actor Awards 2026 red carpet on Sunday, turning heads in a plunging black V-neck gown with an exaggerated silhouette.
But while her dress featured dramatic details like a thigh-high slit, a laced-up corset and padded hips, the star of her outfit just might be her accessory: a pair of oversized opera gloves that practically reached her armpits.
She topped off the look with equally bold glam, including dramatic black eyeliner and a swipe of bright red lipstick.
While Shayk is a regular on red carpets, this marks her first time ever attending the acting award show.
She’s no stranger to embracing daring trends, however; just last month she posed for V Magazine wearing a different pair of leather gloves, along with headline-making looks like a latex corset by Vex, “landing strip” pants by Mowalola and a Jean Paul Gaultier leather cape.
The model’s Actor Awards look isn’t the first time she’s opted to exaggerate her curves with a surrealist silhouette either, as she hit the beach last year wearing a cartoonishly padded Duran Lantink bra paired with bike shorts.
“There are no lines anymore. No more boxes of [being just a] ‘model’ or ‘only this.’ If something brings me joy, if I feel love for it, and if I have a creative partner beside me who inspires me, then I want to explore it,” she told V Magazine.
With 2026 just beginning, it’s safe to say there are even more daring looks on the horizon for Shayk.
