Caroline Kennedy Was “Laughing So Hard” At ‘Love Story’ Depiction

With Season 1 of Ryan Murphy’s Love Story meeting its tragic end last month, one of the true story’s subjects has reacted her portrayal.

Jack Schlossberg recently revealed what his mother Caroline Kennedy thought of Grace Gummer’s performance as her in Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, inspired by her late brother’s romance and 1999 death.

“Actually, I showed [my mom] a clip of her, and we were laughing so hard,” Schlossberg said on Next Question with Katie Couric. “The person [Gummer] was freaking out, and we’re just laughing so hard, as if that’s how my mom acts.”

The Manhattan congressional candidate considers it a “stupid show,” adding, “People, keep in mind, it might be entertaining, but it’s fiction.”

Jack Schlossberg also got a kick out of his dad Edwin Schlossbergh, “the most stylish guy I’ve ever met,” depicted wearing a plaid suit.

The nephew of John F. Kennedy Jr. clarified he has “no problem with anyone who liked the show or watched it. I’m glad. My Uncle John was so cool. It’s not surprising that people, once they remember who he was, want to dress like him and be like him. He was awesome. He was a smart, attractive person who cared about politics, and tried to blend politics and media in his time, like I’m trying to do right now with social media and politics in our campaign right now. So, no issue with anyone who liked the show and watched it.

“My issue is with—we have a lot of serious problems facing our country. And my family, we’re not just celebrities, we’re not just icons. These are public servants,” added Schlossberg. “It’s easy to remember my grandfather, my grandmother, my uncle, who were very glamorous people, as just celebrities, like people today. But they were public servants. We’re not royalty, we don’t have a royal family in this country. They’re public servants who were duly elected.”

Season 1 of FX’s Love Story focuses on JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s love story, which started as a beautiful union for the young couple, widely regarded as American royalty, began to fray under the stress of the relentless microscope and navel-gaze of tabloid media. 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.

Schlossberg has previously called out series creator Ryan Murphy for “profiting off of [their story] in a grotesque way.”
