Daryl Hannah has come under scrutiny following her portrayal in the newly released FX series 'Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.' The series, which premiered on February 12, has sparked backlash among fans and critics who believe that the show misrepresents Hannah's character. Accusations on social media and commentary from outlets like Vogue suggest that the creator's depiction of Hannah as a 'whiny, coke-obsessed prima donna' is not only false but potentially defamatory, leading to calls for Hannah to consider legal action against the show's producers.

Users on platforms like Reddit have also chimed in, expressing disbelief over the negative portrayal seen in the series. Many users have noted the apparent disdain attributed to the writers towards Hannah's character, with comments highlighting that the casting choice seems to reflect a deliberate effort to tarnish her image. The conversation around her portrayal emphasizes the strong emotions connected to Kennedy's legacy and the public's perception of individuals associated with prominent figures like John F. Kennedy Jr.

As the discussion grows, the series' producers face increasing pressure to justify their artistic choices regarding character portrayals. The response from the producers to criticisms, including one from Kennedy's family denouncing the series as 'grotesque,' may also impact how the show is received going forward. Overall, this conflict raises questions about the boundaries of dramatization in narrative storytelling, particularly concerning real-life figures and their legacies.
