• Daryl Hannah has written a New York Times op-ed denouncing Ryan Murphy’s FX series about the romance between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy for its “lies” and “misogyny” and calls it “tragedy-exploiting.” The show also did not consult her about her depiction.
• She says: “The character ‘Daryl Hannah’ portrayed in the series is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John […] I have never pressured anyone into marriage. I have never desecrated any family heirloom or intruded upon anyone’s private memorial. I have never planted any story in the press. I never compared Jacqueline Onassis’ death to a dog’s. It’s appalling to me that I even have to defend myself against a television show. These are not creative embellishments of personality. They are assertions about conduct — and they are false.”
• Hannah added, “lies live online forever,” and “a dramatized portrayal can become, for millions of viewers, the definitive version of a real person’s life […] my silence should not be mistaken for agreement with lies. Apparently, my discretion makes me a target.”
