But the fact that he was like, well, he didn't know him anyway.

I don't know why he feels like that.

Like, what do we make of that?

That's a polite way of putting it.

Yes, the other major public criticism of the show came from the actress Daryl Hannah, who dated JFK Jr.

before he met Carolyn Bessette.

They were on again, off again in real life.

They were on again, off again on the show.

She is portrayed on the show as clingy and desperate and whiny and, above all, rejected.

He doesn't want her.

The real Daryl Hannah wrote an op-ed in The New York Times titled How Can Love Story Get Away With This?

And she says in this piece, quote, "...the character Daryl Hannah portrayed in the series is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct, or my relationship with John."

The actions and behaviors attributed to me are untrue.

And she goes on to say, quote,

Alexandra, what do you make of that critique?

But also, I mean, if I was Daryl Hannah and, you know, nobody can get inside of a relationship, who knows how she actually was.

But nonetheless, I mean, I can understand being really upset by having such a negative, unflattering portrayal of me out there that some people might think was true.

That's what entertainment does.

It takes real stories and warps them all the time.

This is not necessarily a new complaint.
