- In a CBS Sunday Morning interview, Schlossberg called the portrayal a “grotesque display” and labeled it “fiction with a capital F.”
- He urged Murphy to donate earnings to Kennedy-linked causes, specifically naming the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
- Producers and cast said they chose not to approach relatives, relied on published research, and defended the show as a sincere dramatization.
- Murphy previously reacted on Gavin Newsom’s podcast, calling Schlossberg’s anger “an odd choice,” and has described the series as sympathetic to the family.
- Schlossberg tied his objections to contemporary politics, citing use of Kennedy imagery by RFK Jr. and President Donald Trump and pressing Murphy to “do something about getting Trump out of power.”
