Overview

• Jack Schlossberg took to Instagram to refute Murphy’s comment on the This Is Gavin Newsom podcast and shared vivid childhood memories of his uncle John F. Kennedy Jr.
• Schlossberg accused Murphy of profiting millions from the FX series without family consultation or donations to causes championed by JFK Jr.
• Murphy responded in the podcast by calling Schlossberg’s criticism “an odd choice” given his age at the time of his uncle’s death and insisted the show is a sympathetic love story.
• Early production controversies over wardrobe accuracy led Murphy to form a 10-member advisory board and incorporate original 1990s pieces for authenticity.
• FX and Ryan Murphy Productions pledged part of the series’ proceeds to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library as filming continues for a Valentine’s Day 2026 debut.
