Friends React to Love Story Series

On March 31st, friends of John Kennedy Jr., Carolyn Bassett, and her sister Lauren are speaking out about the TV series Love Story, which just wrapped its season finale on March 27th.

The show dramatizes the couple's final days before the tragic plane crash on July 16th, 1999, that also took Warren's life.

For many close to them, turning those real events into entertainment feels off.

Some pals skip the series entirely to keep their private memories intact. Others caught snippets but felt to miss the mark, big time.

Rosemary Terenzio, John's former assistant, said the characters don't ring true, even for folks like magazine partner Michael Burman.

Those who tuned in had strong takes on the later episodes.

Interior designer Guy Clark enjoyed early parts as pure theater, but called episode 8 way off base, painting Carolyn as reclusive when she was out.

And about full of life and kindness. The finale hit hard, forcing him to relive the pain all over again.

Producers claim they aim to honor the trio in that last episode. Still, friends see it as reckless and tasteless, especially recreating those final moments without input from people who knew them best.

In the end, these reactions highlight what might have been John and Carolyn thriving into their 60s, their rough patches just footnotes.

Friends like Clark believe she'd have been his rock, pushing big achievements we can only imagine.
