Ryan Murphy Responds to Backlash Over ‘American Love Story’ First Look Photos

Ryan Murphy defended his first look at the stars of American Love Story, his upcoming FX series about the love story and tragic deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.

Days after he posted camera test photos of stars Paul Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon to Instagram, Murphy's latest anthology series was under intense scrutiny, especially over Pidgeon posing as Bessette in ‘90s era clothing.

“There were comments like, ‘I hate that coat, Carolyn would never have worn that,’” Murphy told Variety.
