Kennedy war with Hollywood producer heats up as Jackie O's relative speaks out
Former Real Housewives Of New York City star Carole Radziwill slammed Ryan Murphy for saying what she called an 'awful thing' to Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg amid ongoing tension between the two. Schlossberg, 32, is the grandson of the late president John F. Kennedy, while Radziwill, 61, is linked to the Kennedy family through her marriage to the late Anthony Radziwill, the cousin of the late John F. Kennedy Jr. Anthony tragically died from cancer at 40 in August of 1999 — a month after JFK Jr.'s July 16, 1999, death at 38 in a plane crash with wife Carolyn Bessette, 33, and sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette, 34. Murphy — the TV impresario behind franchises such as Glee and American Horror Story — put off Radziwil with his remarks last week on The This is Gavin Newson podcast. Murphy, 59, said Schlossberg slamming him over the upcoming series made for an 'odd choice' as he felt JFK Jr. was a relative Schlossberg 'really [didn't] remember' — as he was six-years-old at the time of the deadly crash. Radziwill tagged Murphy's company into a Threads post in which she said, 'I knew John, well. What an awful thing to say to Jack.' She continued: 'John and my late husband Anthony were Jack's godfathers, a role they delighted in. Your comments are unkind & hurtful.' Schlossberg responded to the remarks via his Instagram page last week, addressing Murphy, 'SAY IT TO MY FACE!' Schlossberg, a graduate of Harvard Law School, made clear he had a wealth of memories of JFK Jr. 'My earliest memories are of John calling me Jackolatern and 'the nudist,' picking me up from school, his Pontiac convertible,' Schlossberg said to more than 696,000 followers. The Ivy League alum continued: 'I remember being the ring bearer at his wedding and the day he died. I remember Wyclef singing at his funeral. 'More memories are passed down from stories — like the time he locked himself out of a car in an intersection and asked the guy screaming at him if he could borrow a golf club to smash the window to get the keys, and then did it.' Schlossberg accused Murphy of exploiting JFK Jr.'s legacy for profit. 'You're making millions off John, making a public spectacle of it but won't contribute any of your riches to the causes he championed, or the legacy of public service he represented,' Schlossberg said. Schlossberg responded to the remarks via his Instagram page last week, making clear he had a wealth of memories of JFK Jr. He added, in an ostensible reference to actor Paul Anthony Kelly, who plays John F. Kennedy Jr. in the limited series, 'Also odd that the actor playing the sexiest man alive is bloated!' Schlossberg last month explained his disdain for Murphy's portrayal of his family. 'Lately, my news feed has been filled with pictures of my uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr., a great man,' Schlossberg said on Instagram Stories. He said that '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,' as the late lawyer and magazine publisher was a public figure. Schlossberg said he hoped 'those making this show about him take seriously what he stood for in his life, all that he achieved in it, and that they donate some of the profits [from] what they're making to the John F. Kennedy Library.' The cast of the forthcoming Murphy miniseries also includes Naomi Watts as Jackie Kennedy; Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette; Grace Gummer as Caroline Kennedy; Sydney Lemmon as Lauren Bessette; and Alessandro Nivola as Calvin Klein.

Not to Be Dramatic, But the Paparazzi Are Ruining Movies for All of Us
Obviously, paparazzi taking pictures of TV and movie stars while they film is nothing new (especially when they're doing it in New York City, in broad daylight), but thanks to the ubiquity of Instagram, X, and every other social media app slowly sapping years off of my lifespan, it feels like there's been a shift in just how widely those pictures are disseminated—and how quickly they're absorbed by the Discourse, for better or for worse. Like, I'm as excited as you would imagine any Vogue employee to be about The Devil Wears Prada 2, but I'm not going to lie: Already knowing what Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs wears in the movie is kind of letting the wind out of my sails. I want to imagine Andy's grown-up, post-Runway world for as long as I can until the movie's actually in theaters, okay? Ditto for Ryan Murphy's upcoming John-John and Caroline Bessette-Kennedy series, actually. Yes, I'm devouring every paparazzi photo of a blonded-up Sarah Pidgeon like candy, but I'm feeling just as mildly nauseous and overstimulated in the aftermath as I do when I polish off an entire bag of gummy peach rings and call it 'lunch.' One could argue that if I really wanted to discourage the spread of these spoilery pap shots, I could simply stop trawling Getty Images and SplashNews and republishing them—but come on. We in fashion and entertainment media rely on the shadowy paparazzo economy to do our jobs. What I do think would be nice, however, is if paps respected the bounds of intellectual property just a little bit more, and stuck mostly to haunting the Meatpacking District, looking for drunk, overexposed celebutantes doing embarrassing stuff on their way out of clubs, as per tradition. Just let me look forward to something on this cruel mortal coil, for God's sake!
