The nephew of John F. Kennedy Jr., Jack Schlossberg, does not feel love for the next series of Ryan Murphy American love storywhich will dramatize the high level marriage and the premature death of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.

Schlossberg spoke about the FX Limited series in a video published on his Instagram stories on Thursday, on Thursday on his Instagram.

“Lately, my news feed was filled with photos of my uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr., a big man,” said Schlossberg in the video. “For those who wonder if his family has been consulted or has something to do with the new show made about it, the answer is no, and there is really not much that we can do.”

Schlossberg continued by explaining that “the right to privacy, which includes the possibility of controlling your own name, your own image and your resemblance, does not survive death in New York State. And besides, it is considered a public figure, so there is not much that we can do.”

But, he said: “I hope those who make this show about him take seriously what he defended in his life, all that he achieved, and that they give some of the profits [from] What they do at the John F. Kennedy library. “”

Schlossberg then noted that he was not against a project that celebrates JFK Jr., as long as it is done with good intentions. “For the record, I think that admiration for my uncle John is great,” he said. “What I don’t think is great is to enjoy it in a grotesque way.”
