Jack Schlossberg has been unable to avoid a specific show that’s in development. In new stories on Instagram, Schlossberg addressed the new Ryan Murphy series, “American Love Story,” exploring the notorious relationship between his uncle John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, who both died tragically in a plane crash.
Schlossberg addressed the news on his Instagram stories, sharing a video of himself speaking to the camera as he was driving. “Lately, my news feed has been filled with pictures of my uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr., a great man,” he said.
“For those wondering whether his family was ever consulted, or has anything to do with the new show being made about him, the answer is no, and there’s really not much we can do.”
Schlossberg revealed that JFK Jr. is considered a public figure, making it possible for a series to be developed about him without requiring permission from his surviving family members.

Schlossberg made it clear that he’s not against the project; he just hopes that it’s being made with the right intentions.
