Oprah & Gayle Get Cozy in Paris, Amy Griffin Gets SUED, & Daryl Hannah Calls Out Ryan Murphy
01:00:28
Maureen Callahan launches into Paris Fashion Week where platonic life partners Oprah and Gayle are in full attendance alongside the seemingly soulless Amy Griffin, who is currently being sued for allegedly coopting her childhood friend's assault story and passing it off as her own in her memoir, "The Tell." Maureen also takes shots at Anna Wintour's nepo hire Chloe Malle and her debut issue of Vogue, calling out her lack of fashion sense and creative direction, before ripping into fashion nepo spawn Sunday Rose for landing on the cover of Elle Australia. From there, Maureen pivots to insider rumblings at The Today Show, including Savannah Guthrie’s looming return and what her colleagues are really saying about her. She closes the show with Daryl Hannah’s blistering New York Times op-ed response to Ryan Murphy’s "Love Story," where the actress takes direct aim at the show’s deeply unflattering and wildly inaccurate portrayal of her.

Hello and welcome to your Tuesday edition of the Nerve. I am your host, Maureen Callahan. With yet another packed show, we are heading straight to Paris Fashion Week, where none other than platonic life partners Oprah and Gail have been spotted swanning around like the assholes they are. And we're going to give you evidence again. As your cultural criminal prosecutor, all I do is submit evidence. I leave it to you, the troublemakers, to come up with the verdict. They're there with none other than, in my opinion, the soulless Amy Griffin, the quote unquote memoirist who is now being sued for the contents of her quote unquote memoir about being sexually assaulted. Air quotes, mine as a child, violently. I'm just going to say the Nerve was the very first and we're still a baby show. We're only 10 months old. We were the first ones to come out and say there's something wrong with this memoir. And it feels like there's something very wrong with this woman. And last Thursday, a lawsuit was filed, I believe, in LA county court. And these two assholes, Oprah and Gail, are swatting around with this woman who looks like she is not a care in the world. And we are prosecuting all three of them, okay? If we have our way, they are wood chipper, wood chipper by the end of 2026. And then they're going to the burn pile, okay? Now, also in Paris, none other than Anna Wintour. We told you she was not going any fucking where. Along with her quote unquote successor, Chloe Mao. And it's bad, okay? It's. It's a crime scene. Seen what's going on? And then we've got Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's daughter, Sunday Rose, who has just landed herself her first major fashion magazine cover. And we're taking that to the woodshed too. Okay? We're pulping it. Do you guys want to know something? We have so much good stuff planned for the Oscars live stream stuff that we were kind of like, if we're not going to get, say, if we're not going to get a full on green light, we're going to. It's better to ask forgiveness than permission. Know what I'm saying? Then we've got an update on what's really going on over the at the Today show. Okay. Because there's a lot of very sunny reportage coming out of the Today show about Savannah's visit and how she was wholly embraced by her colleagues who have been grieving with her. Not so. Okay. And I've got specifics, ugly, disgusting specifics that I think once Savannah hears this stuff, she's going to go scorched earth. She's going to go scorched earth. So watch your fucking back, Hoda. And then later in the show, a lot of you guys were emailing and dming me over the weekend, like, really, really, like, are you going to talk about Daryl Hannah's op ed in the New York Times calling out Ryan Murphy for his character assassination of her in love story? You bet we are. Why else does the nerve exist? We're going to do it only as the nerve can. Okay, troublemakers. Are you ready? Are you ready? Let's go.

These platonic life partners are just giving the energy that Stacks Stedman is indeed dead. Like, they don't give a flying F. They are having the time of their lives. Oprah and Gail. Gail newly signed to cbs. And trust me, we're gonna talk to Rob Shooter on the Nerve at night about this if we have time. We have. We have a ton of celebrity stories we've got to get through with Rob. But they're back in Paris at Paris Fashion Week, and they're there with someone who I believe is a spiritual, psychological, emotional cretin. I believe this person is amoral. I believe this person is about to cut, or really her husband is about to cut, a very large check to settle this lawsuit that has finally been brought against her. I speak of Amy Griffin, author of the quote, unquote memoir, the ostensible, alleged reported memoir, the Towel. We'll get into it. We'll be covering this story, this Amy Griffin story, quite a bit. But first we're going to get to Oprah at the Celine show with her Ozempic body freaking out the bulk of the Western world. This woman, we're going to take a look at her right now. She does not look like Oprah. This woman. She's. This is. This is way too thin. Way too thin. Her. Her face, like, her head looks even more enormous than usual. She's got her hair pulled back in this braid. It's like the quote, unquote, Croydon facelift. Although I do think that she and Gail have both had matching facelifts. Their faces are way too tight for women in their 70s. I believe Gail is in her 70s as well, and it's gone too far. And I think that Oprah is just going to keep taking the jab until she all but disappears. And what's truly remarkable about this is that Oprah, you know, not too long ago, did this ABC News special in which she was castigating America for making us feel like shit for us, making her feel like shit about herself when she was fat. And if you could see one thing in this video and these photos, is that Oprah and is on cloud nine. She is living in her pink cloud moment of like, oh, my God, she's now feeling what it's like to be skinny. She thinks she looks very pretty. She's front row, like a Paris Fashion Week show. Like, she's everything that she railed against, she's become. Now we're going to go to Gail in the Back of a chauffeured car with Oprah reclining awkwardly as she's trying to zip up pants that are clearly too tight for her. Let's. Let's show the video. We're gonna. Let's watch the video. This is. It's too good not to share. This is what fashion is. You okay, Gail? These are comfortable. I could sit like this. I'm sorry. But you can see Gail's camel toe. And nobody aside from Oprah allegedly reportedly. We're done. We can stop. Nobody aside from Oprah allegedly reportedly wants to see Gail's camel toe. Is this what Barry Weiss really signed to? At least 5 million for the next year. This sludge, this aesthetic. Disgusting. Like, completely inelegant moment. This is not relatable, okay? These people think that's relatable. It's not. And then Gail, in her Instagram carousel, posted photos of her in front of the Eiffel Tower, which is just like the most basic in. In. In basic bitchness. Bitchery, Right? Basic bitchery is what? Like, go to Paris and show us somewhere that's a little bit like, you have more money than you'll ever know what to do with. At least Oprah does. Like, why don't you show something a little bit? Like, it would be like going if those two came to New York City and took pictures of themselves in front of the Statue of Liberty. You just be like, don't, you know, like, cooler, hipper, more like aspirational spots than that. Next, Oprah and Gail in the back of their chauffeured limo are going to debate the best way to eat when one is swanning around Paris Fashion Week with an amoral husk of a human being known as Amy Griffin. Just my opinion. Now it looks like there is a minion, like, doubtless an Oprah Daly minion in the back of this vehicle, interviewing them about where they prefer. But that's not really the question. And we. There are many jokes one can make about where they're going to eat. Know what I'm saying? But Marlena just laughed in my ear. High praise, but listen to what they call each other. Okay, the masks are just about fully dropping. I wonder if the nerves constant nudging is giving these two a little bit of, like, courage here. Here we go. I tend to stay away from things that say pub or tavern. Okay, watch. We'll see. Oprah's always be muse. She don't care. I kind of like a pub myself. No, I don't like a pub. Gonna go in there and you're gonna get a good beer and some fish and chips, baby. Fish and ships. Little booth amber lighting. Gail, I stepped on that. Gail then says back to Oprah. No, babe, I like an amber. I like a little booth with amber light. They're calling each other babe. I mean, come on. Is the rest of the entertainment media industrial complex going to continue to pretend that we're not seeing and hearing what we're seeing and hearing? Fine. Leave it all to the nerve. More for us. We're happy with it. Okay, now we're going to take a look at Oprah walking into a fashion show with none other than Amy Griffin. And again, this woman is being sued and it's if she doesn't settle, this is going to be great. Amy is just has not a care in the world. Not a care in the world. Here we are, here we are. There's Oprah posing with Amy. Gail was in the back. Amy just, we can stop that there. Amy's again getting in the, in the shot. And you know, if Oprah had an iota of self preservation, she would maybe keep an arm's length, at least from the likes of Amy Griffin. I mean, Oprah herself, self professed survivor of childhood sexual abuse and violence. You know, how can Oprah really respect herself what she survived and continue to advocate for girls and women who survive sexual violence while parading around with the likes of someone who I think is a total fucking fraud and a phony who is making a mockery of childhood sexual violence? Again, just my opinion. One Amy Griffin. I cannot effing wait to dig into this story with you guys because again, hardly anybody else is really going to town on this. Amy Griffin, the Daily Mail. Here's an. Here's an exception where I call him twice a week, March 5th. Famous author who wrote best selling sexual assault memoir the Tell, based it on attacks that actually happened to her friend. Bombshell lawsuit alleges. Now I'm going to read a salient excerpt from the Daily Mail report and then I'm going to read a little bit from the New York Times piece about this lawsuit. According to the Daily Mail report, Jane Doe. This is the. She's anonymized herself. This is the name she's filed this lawsuit under. Tells you something. Tells us a lot actually. Jane Doe met with Griffin, according to the Daily Mail, at the author's request, at a coffee shop in California in 2019. The lawsuit reported by the outlet claim this is the New York Times, I believe the two allegedly talked about growing up in Amarillo, Texas. Griffin is now a billionaire venture capitalist by dint of her marriage to John Griffin, the billionaire founder of hedge fund Blue Ridge Capital. About three years later, a supposed producer reached out to Jane Doe to use her, quote, life story for a film or television show. Jane Doe alleged the producer stopped communicating with her. Jane Doe had relayed her sexual attacks in middle school to said producer, but said producer stopped communicating with her, per the lawsuit, after Jane Doe asked for a contract. So Jane Doe says that Amy Griffin reached out to her to have lunch in California with her in 2019. The tell was published to great fanfare on March 11, 2025. So almost one year ago to the day that we're airing this, the New York times report dated March 5, 2026. Amy Griffin, a bestselling memoirist, was sued on Wednesday. Excuse me. The suit was fil by a former classmate who contends that Ms. Griffin's story of being sexually abused, as she described in her book the Tell, was based on assaults the classmate herself suffered at their Texas middle school in the 1980s. The suit also names Sam Lansky, a ghostwriter who worked on the towel, as well as Penguin, Random House and the Dial Press, which published the book, as defendants. The tell constitutes neither a genuine nor nor harmless memoir, the lawsuit says. That's been the nerves position, though, these many months. The Times notes that the towel came out last March amid enormous social media support from Ms. Griffin's network of famous friends, among them Gwyneth Paltrow. I believe Reese Witherspoon. These, by the way, are celebrity friends that I have it on good authority that Amy Griffin purchases. I believe she is a big investor in goop. That's how she got to be friends with Gwyneth. Gwyneth, who called her one of the bravest people she knows on Instagram. The Tell, the New York Times writes, also was selected last year by Oprah Winfrey for her book Club Misto's. Lawsuit specifically cites two incidents in the book, an assault at a middle school dance and another in a school bathroom in which Ms. Griffin said the teacher tied her hands behind her back with a bandana. Ms. Doe asserts that both attacks actually happened to her. She contends in her lawsuit that she was sexually assaulted at the dance while wearing a dress she had borrowed from Ms. Griffin and that she returned the dress with a stain on it left by the teacher during the assaults. I, for one, you know, Amy Griffin's lawyer says none of this is true and they look forward to litigating this vigorously. And I'm telling you, I will be shocked if this ever sees the inside of a courtroom. I think Amy Griffin's husband, who I just my opinion, just my supposition, has got to know his wife is full of shit. Because there is a moment in the tell where she says to him, I just did an MDMA trip. Her husband, by the way, it goes without notice in the towel. Big investor in psychopharmacology in the use of hallucinogens to help with trauma. She says to him, I just recovered these memories that I was violently sexually assaulted as a child. And in the book, her husband in some substance says, yeah, I can't really go on this journey with you. The nerve will be all over it, my friends. The nerve will be all effing over it. Now onto other ghouls and wraiths in the fashion world. We must revisit Demi Moore in Schiaparelli. I mispronounced it last week. Forgive me, please. She looks like a skeleton. And it just goes to show you, you can't fix everything. And I actually hate the. The. The word fix when it comes to aging because it implies that there is something wrong and bad with aging. Aging is a privilege. If you get to grow old without any major health issues, you won. You won. But look at Demi Moore. She can't be skinny enough. She can't be beautiful enough. She's got, like, just skin hanging from underneath her. You know, she's at the plastic surgeon trying to figure out how to get that snatched up. And then Kelly Osborne, who again is taking out her rage, which seems clearly in her directed because she looks like death on the rest of us, saying, we're all being mean. No, we're not. We're seeing what we're seeing. And it's highly alarming. And she is reminiscent of no one. I said it last week. No one so much as Lisa Marie Presley on the Golden Globes red carpet days before Lisa Marie Presley died. Kelly Osborne needs a lot of help. And this is not said in a mean way. This is really said with compassion. Finally, I would like to show you arena shake. I saw this image in the Sunday New York Post, and she's walking in Paris Fashion Week wrapped in fur. But, like, they're stuffies. And I saw this and I thought, you know, the nerve was completely doing a gag, like an obvious gag last summer when we did a mini in which I read from Taylor Swift's father's lengthy email long before she got mega famous, in which he was lamenting the cost of doing business as Taylor Swift's dad. And we're going to show you the full screen. I was wearing, like, her chief's boyfriend jersey, and I had prop master Emily had affixed like a big, giant stuffed cat on my shoulder. And I just thought it was a gag, but lo and behold, I was fashion forward. Who knew? Now onto Chloe Mal, whose first edition of Vogue has just hit the newsstands. And we will be doing a book report on it on a very imminent episode of the Nerve. It was supposed to be today. I left it at home. I have a whole slew of books and papers with me and mags and I forgot that one. But not to worry, because first we're going to take a look at Chloe Mal on Vogue Shopping's Instagram. And Chloe is the model for what we should all be wearing this spring. Let's take a look at it. Okay. Chloe is modeling all 4ft, 11 of her. And no shame or disrespect meant to anyone who is on the more diminutive side. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, but this is not aspirational high fashion, as I've said. This is a dowdy World War II refugee. Put a babushka on her and it's over, it's done. She is not a fashion plate. She is not a fashion forward person. Now we're gonna look at Chloe in her chair. Chloe posing in these. Here we go. Let's see it. Oh, my God, you guys, look at this. Listen, you can try all you want. You're not. This. This doesn't even look like this looks like she went and bought something made of highly flammable material at, like, Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie. Okay, I don't care how expensive this is. I couldn't even tell you it looks cheap. And that is because of the person who is wearing it. This woman does not embody Vogue. And then the Daily Mail had this amazing, amazing, amazing Savage report. It was a split screen, or it was a side by side, rather, of Chloe with Anna Wintour at Paris Fashion Week. Now, again, as I've said, Anna's going nowhere. And Anna is towering over Chloe. Like, these visuals, they are all like, Anna knows how to tell stories. Visually, it is her genius. Anna looks like a dominatrix at the Celine show. Okay, these images were taken on Saturday, March 7, in, like, her blue leather coat with, like, those wide lapels. And Chloe is wearing a slumpy cerulean blue cardigan sweater. Daily Mail headline, Vogue's newest editor, Chloe Mao, commits female fashion faux pas alongside Anna Wintour at Paris Fashion Week and the cerulean blue. It ha. It makes me wonder if Chloe is a self saboteur or if Chloe knows she's in way over her head. Or if Chloe knows that Anna selected her as her heir apparent. Just my opinion. Full well, knowing that Chloe would never be able to do this job at any level of competence and that the higher ups at Conde Nasty would come running back to Anna saying, please, there's only one Anna Wintour. You must save Vogue from this slumpy, frumpy Nepo baby. Chloe, daughter of Candice Bergen and the late famed film director Frederick Mal. Oh, no, sorry. Frederic Mall is the perfumer, who is her uncle. Louis Mal was the director. Excuse me. Chloe Mal gives nothing more than Saffy from Ab Fab vibes. And we're showing the side by side here. And if you're unfamiliar with Saffy from Ab Fab, Saffy was the aggressively frumpy daughter of one of those fashionistas. You know, those two, like drinking, drugging, shallow fashionistas. And all they were ever trying to do is like just get Saffy to just try. Let's try some lipstick. Just, just, you know, and. But her, her frumpiness was, it was an aggressive act. It was like a fuck you to her mother and her friend. And that's Chloe Mal. And once you see it, you can't unsee it. Now another crime against the culture. Australia's Elle magazine. So Elle Australia has put one Sunday Rose, the daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, on their cover. And there's a full fashion spread inside, along with a profile talking about, I don't know what. Because this kid is a teenager who's just been modeling, you know, since she could get in a door in heels. And I am sorry, but this girl is not a model. You can put the world's best photographers, best hair and makeup people, best stylists working on her Dusk till Dawn. This girl is not a model, okay? To be kind. She is aggressively plain to be kind. I'm not trying to be mean here, but these Nepo babies are taking spaces and jobs from kids who are otherwise just trying to come up in the meritocracy. This is bullshit. Don't try to shove this woman down our throats. This woman. This girl. And by the way, Sunday Rose also was mocked on Instagram and elsewhere for her Runway walk. Stop it. Just stop it. The culture is not going to buy what you are selling. Vogue wonders why it's dying. I mean, it really is on his deathbed. It wonders why this little trick of Anna's isn't going to work. And you know, speaking of, we're going to talk about Daryl Hannah a little later in the show in this op ed that she wrote in the New York Times, like giving Ryan Murphy no end of well deserved shit for what he's done to her. In this series, we're really going to get into it. But is it any wonder that women of every generation are now looking back to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, a really fucked up woman? I columned on this over the weekend at the Daily Mail. If people really wanted to accept, understand, believe the truth of Carolyn Bessette, she was a very dark, emotionally disturbed person who, as discussed on the Mini, once spat in the eyeball of a female photographer at an airport. Spat in the eye. You know, Junior bought up all those images. You know it. But everybody wants to look like cbk. Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Is it any wonder, though she at least was stylish and put together and elegant and carried herself, you know, when people were looking with some dignity. You look at a Sunday rose, you look at a Chloe Mal. It is to weep. It is to weep for fashion. Next up, next up, we've got the real story. No one else but the Nerve is going to tell you about what's really going on behind the scenes of the Today show and what they're really what they've been saying about Savannah since the minute she left Savannah Guthrie.

Now, before we get into troublemaker feedback, we need to talk about the latest developments over at the Today show and the mainstream media's version of events. I saw this segment on Access Hollywood on Friday, and I immediately texted Marlena, and I was like, we need to air a little bit of Access Hollywood's bloated coverage. And then I'm going to talk the real talk about fake people. Okay. I, Access Hollywood and the like are going to give you a fluffy version of events that the network and most of the network's talent is going to be most pleased by. The nerve is going to give you the real story. And it's sorted and it's ugly and it's true. And I think we'd all prefer to live in the truth. I certainly would. I know all troublemakers would. So here we go. Let's look at Access Hollywood's little puff piece about Savannah Guthrie returning to Studio 1A to visit her colleagues who all just love her so much. And we were going to begin with Jenna Bush Hager's creaky voice. I mean, she's. She's so emotional. She can't squeeze an effing tear out, but she's so emotional. Let's go. Savannah has come back to her home here at 30 Rock In Studio 1A. We got to see her. Savannah Guthrie is surrounded with love from her Today show family. The anchor made her first visit to the morning show set since her mother Nancy's disappearance, taking time to see her co host at the New York City Studio on March 5. Jenna Bush Hager And Chanel Jones discussed Savannah's visit during today's third hour and made clear that she will be welcomed back with open arms. She is beyond love here, and so we're happy that she is home. I don't know when she's actually returning to the show, but she was here and that felt so. Hug her. So this is just happening, right? This just in. And so Jen and I haven't had a chance to talk about it amongst each other, but this is what I will share with you. We're in this storm between each other. We're not out of storm, but there's a light somewhere, even in the midst of the storm. And I think her coming here and just being able to be with us and for us to be able to hug her, I think it's a step, right? I don't know what's ahead of us. We don't know what's ahead of us. But all I know is it is a step. And for me, anytime you can take a step, I celebrate that. And so I looked at her and I hugged her and I'm like, you know what? You are here and we love you. Oh, my God. Everyone loves you. And whenever you're ready, we are here. Here. Chanel is such a. And I had that sot run a little bit long so we could all just roll around in her inanity. She says, I said to Savannah, you are here. I think Savannah well knows that because she got on a plane from Arizona after saying goodbye to her mother at a makeshift memorial placed by well wishers and flew to New York and then made the decision to go visit Studio 1A, which was done with a lot of back and forth, trust me, between her team and her lawyers and her agents and the execs at NBC and then letting all the talent know and then making sure that it wasn't on camera. Except there were very well placed paparazzi outside to get a shot of Savannah and all of her colleagues with their most concerned faces holding back tears as they embrace Savannah. So, yeah, Chanel, thanks for that breaking effing news. And then Chanel says, you know, I just think any. Anytime you take a step, it's a positive, a positive movement. Is it really? Is it really? Plenty of people take steps off of ledges. Plenty of people take ill considered steps. It's not always a positive. This woman is such a fucking tiny, lame brain. Brain. Excuse me. It just makes me crazy that she's got a spot on American morning television. It makes me crazy she has nothing to offer. Also Chanel says, you know, we haven't had a chance to discuss it among ourselves. Amongst ourselves. It's between. Okay? Between is when it's two people. Between you and me, we haven't had a chance to talk. Between. Among is three or more. Okay? They're not talking to a group, so get it right. Chanel. You're on network. Nash. Network. National network television. Why do I do this to myself? I cannot afford to lose another pearl. I just got a new pearl ring. I cannot afford to lose it. Okay, now here's the real deal. I have it from a very well placed source within the Today show that Savannah's colleagues effing hate her and that the abduction of her mother and this attendant nightmare has done nothing to ameliorate said hatred or change it or make them think, you know, maybe I shouldn't be so graspy and greedy looking to rise up the ranks using Savannah's absence. Not saying anyone in particular is doing that in a tasteless manner. You know, I'm not saying there's anybody ghoulish on that set who seems to smile every time we talk about Savannah and her missing mother. But, you know, we all know who. We all know what's what. Anyway, this source within the Today show says that the minute Savannah's mother went missing, talent sitting in that makeup room in those makeup chairs said things like, this is karma. That Savannah's mother's violent abduction, 84 year old woman with serious medical issues, limited mobility, abducted from her bed in the dead of night, that was karma. They said because Savannah's such a. That's what they really think. And wouldn't Access Hollywood be way more interesting and compelling of a watch if they did that kind of reporting? That's the real deal. Okay, on to audience email. Hi again, ladies. This is from troublemaker Christie. She is writing about Chloe's cerulean blue cardigan sweater. It's so funny. All the comments were spot on that Chloe looks like Andy Sachs from the Devil Wears Prada. The scene in which Andy enters Miranda's office as they are doing a run through for an editorial shoot. And she and Andy's wearing this like frumpy cerulean blue sweater. And she's like, you know, what you guys are doing in this room has nothing to do with me. Like I'm an intellectual. Like you guys are idiots. Like roaming around saying that like that blue is different from this blue. And then Miranda just levels her with how it is fashion works and how Andy, who thinks she's too good to Dress. Well, is actually making a fashion statement with the tragic little cerulean blue cardigan sweater that she fished out from the bottom of a bin at, like, some tragic banana republic or something like that. The clash of the styles between the two women. Correct. Use of between, not among Christie, is ghastly. One has style, the other looks like a fashion tragedy. Once again, Maureen, you are right. I can't say that I don't love hearing that, my friend. Vogue is dead for sure. I see glimmers of hope in fashion elsewhere. Like you, for example. You flatter me, Christie. Pearls and rock and roll, definitely. Oh, I'm into it. Okay. This is from troublemaker Natalie, our frequent correspondent subject, dismissive Timothy. Hi, Maureen. You probably saw this latest outburst from Timothy, who thinks he is being smart. Timothy. Timothy, in his town hall with Mr. All right, all right, all right. Said that nobody cares about opera and ballet anymore, and he offended a ton of people, none so much as native New Yorkers who. New York City is home to the Metropolitan Opera and it is home to the New York City Ballet, both of which are part of the cultural lifeblood of this city. And someday, when they do an autopsy of how it is that Timothy came to lose an Oscar that was otherwise tipped to be his. Come to the Nerve. We have it diagrammed. Okay. Hello, Maureen. This is from Paul from New Zealand. Much discussion by troublemakers in the live chat and YouTube comments about Daryl Hannah's love story response. And here we see Paul's very inspired artwork. And we're going to discuss it in a very few minutes. In very few minutes. Excuse me. From troublemaker Kate from England. Hi, Maureen and Marlena. This troublemaker says life has been a little challenging lately. We are sorry to hear that, Kate, and we hope things get on the upswing very soon. We are happy that the Nerve gives you a smile now and then. Now, Kate says that while we were discussing Love Story recently, I mentioned Michael Kennedy's funeral, and Kate wasn't familiar with that particular Kennedy or the circumstances surrounding his accident. So she looked into it afterwards, and she came across the story about his behavior with the babysitter, which I had mentioned. And now some of you took me to task, and rightly so. My mind was going a little bit too quickly. But, you know, there was an episode of Love story where John Jr. Brings Carolyn to a Kennedy dinner at Ethel's, and it's framed like it's an episode of the Crown and Carolyn's meeting American royalty, and John introduces Carolyn to his cousin Michael, and someone makes a crack About Michael and babysitter's Michael was statutorily raping a 14 year old babysitter in his employ and things were not looking good for Michael until he crashed into a tree on skis without wearing a helmet while playing ski football with other Kennedys who had been told by the resort to knock it off because they were putting other patrons in mortal danger. Did they listen? No. Did they continue their reckless behavior because they're entitled pieces of shit? Yeah. And did Michael Kennedy die a very violent death slamming into a tree at probably 80 miles an hour? Indeed. He was raping a child. Dear Maureen, I love what you and Bill from Brooklyn said about Lindsay at Lindsey Vaughn and her selfishness and stupidity. I was thinking my opinion might be too harsh, but I felt the same as you guys and so validated after your Friday show. That's what the nerve is here for. Okay, we'll be your id. We are your voice in the wilderness. When you're like, am I harsh for thinking something that the rest of the mainstream media and the culture at large is telling me the opposite of how I should be feeling when the culture is telling me I should be feeling sorry for Lindsey Vaughn and that she's a heroine. Am I wrong for thinking that she was selfish and entitled and that this whole thing is corrupt and sinks to high heaven and that she stole a slot on the Olympic team? Again for some kid who's just trying to come up through the meritocracy, no, troublemaker you are not. You are dead on. You are amongst your people. The moment I heard Troublemaker Sharon in Georgia continues that Lindsay was going to compete with a torn acl, I thought it was the stupidest thing she could do. Agreed. And no wonder she crashed. I heard some say that it had nothing to do with the torn acl. Bullshit Sharon says, all in caps. Now I hear people saying she's so brave. But from Newsweek quote, Vaughn crashed 13 seconds into her race in Milan. She didn't win a medal, but she reminded the rest of the sports world just how tenacious she is. Bullshit. Sharon says this was a stupid thing to do and now she is out forever. Good riddance. Could not agree with you more. Subject line Sunglasses. Maureen, may I ask what brand of sunglasses you wear? This is troublemaker JD who likes them? Absolutely. They are Tom Ford. Tom Ford tends to make a very nice big bug eyed sun pair of sunglasses which I love and I almost always buy them on the realreal. I will never pay retail sunglasses don't cost that much to make no matter what Anybody tells you, okay, a Favorite returns. We all know who this is by the opening My darling. Thank you for your real talk about fake people on the JFK Jr. Carolyn Bessette story Without the nerve. Oh Armando, how we love you. The series would have entered the cultural bloodstream like a velvety anesthetic. Lovely turn of phrase, Armando lulling the public to sleep, dreaming of a fake romantic ending to the entire Camelot narrative. Armando writes that his poor girlfriend complains about me constantly, quote, throwing acid on the storyline, quote. Just like your new girlfriend Maureen. She is jealous of what we have, my darling. Anyway, to the point I am awestruck by the men's tailoring in this miniseries. I love the full cut 1990s suits, the double breasted Versace cut jackets. The shapes that are highly constructed yet drape naturally. Notice how the silhouettes are razor sharp yet have a relaxed masculine fit. Pleated slacks with a smooth drape. Nothing pegged, nothing forced. Always flattering to the shape of real men. All things considered, I nominate this show for, quote, the Best Men's Tailoring Award on the nervies Nerve Awards 2026 later this year for me, Armando says the late 80s early 90s were a golden age for men's tailoring. Just ask the Wall Street Journal, which over the weekend in their Leisure section ran a piece about all these younger men now trying to recapture the JFK Jr look. Armando knows what he's talking about. He finishes. Just looking at Paul Anthony Kelly in his navy JFK junior Suits makes me vermp. Armando signs off as usual, I love you too much. Right back at you, Armando. Sportsman, Rancot or Shameless Lounge? About our final email for today's Nerve Maureen, I gotta say I've hit my this is JD Again.

Something like this almost never happens. As we say at the Nerve. Celebrity on celebrity violence, extremely rare. But Daryl Hannah had enough. She had it with Ryan Murphy's love story, JFK Jr. And Carolyn Bessette. Daryl dated John Jr. For five years. They were in a very serious relationship at one point. They lived together. There were constant reports that they were either secretly engaged or on the verge of getting married. Darryl, her character has been desecrated in this thing, okay? So it's very gratifying to see now that that public people are pushing back against this lionization of the Kennedy family and the idea that if a few women have to have their reputations destroyed or their lives stolen from them, symbolically, metaphorically, or actually literally, hey, you got to break a few eggs, right? So Daryl Hannah wrote this incredible guest essay, this op ed in the New York Times over the weekend. So many of you were like, maureen, please tell us the Nerve is going to talk about it. We are talking about it. The headline, daryl Hannah Colon, how can love story get away with this? My thoughts exactly. You know, there is a sort of thing where public people, you know, can only take so much legal action against any kind of depiction of them. But I think that Daryl Hannah should truly consider a defamation case. I really do, because. Because I think a message really needs to be sent to people like the creators of this show. You know, here is a bit of Daryl's op ed in the New York Times. I'm going to read from her opening graph, which is a banger. Jacqueline Onassis once gave me some wise advice. Darryl writes, she told me that while tabloids, magazines and newspapers often sold ridiculous lies, they were nothing more than birdcage liner by the next day. At the time, I found great comfort and consolation in those words, but they no longer hold true. A few graphs down. 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. Let's take a look at one scene in which a very flighty, spacey, needy, childlike Daryl is hosting a cocaine party. Unbeknownst to John in his fancy Tribeca loft. Here we go. Was it, like, a family thing, the event tonight? No. Why? I just didn't know if maybe your mom and sister were there. And that's why you didn't invite me to stop with this narrative that you're, like, Persona non grata. Okay, it's not true. Babe, you have Kennedy memorabilia everywhere. It's not memorabilia, Daryl. These are not baseball cards. They're family heirlooms. She and her friends in that scene. Daryl and her friends in that scene were snorting cocaine off of a platter we are led to believe belonged to President John F. Kennedy. Daryl, in her op ed for the New York Times. I have never used cocaine in my life or hosted cocaine fueled parties. I have never pressured anyone into marriage. I have never desecrated any family heirloom or intruded upon anyone's private memorial. I have never planted any story in the press. I never compared Jacqueline Onassis's death to a dogs. Here is Love Stories depiction again of a very needy, simple, pathetic Darrell crashing Jacqueline Onassis wake, which was held at Jacqueline Onassis's doorman building at 1045th. Okay, there was no crashing Jacqueline Onassis's wake. You were either invited or you were not. Here we go. How are you feeling? I don't know. Haven't had a lot of time to process it, I think. Yeah, and grief is weird that way. It kind of sneaks up on you, and all you can do is succumb to it, you know, like when I lost Hank. Sorry about that. I mean, yes, he was a dog, but he was also like, my child. Yeah, of course. Everyone. Everyone keeps trying to find out what's going on with us. Like, in what capacity I'm here. People are asking you about our relationship status at my mother's wake. I mean, not explicitly, but, like, we haven't spoken in months, so. Exactly. So that version of Daryl Hannah, the Ryan Murphy version, says, I know what grief is like, you know, because my dog died. And I could go into that statement, but I will not. You know how we feel about dogs here at the Nerve. Dogs may as well be people. They're often better family members than many of our actual human family members. Know what I'm saying? But then John says, oh, yeah, sorry about that, which is a very tossed off admission. And it's something the show wants us to think that John taking Daryl's dog for a walk and letting that dog get killed in oncoming traffic because John was too wrapped up in his own bullshit. Was nothing more than just, you know, a minor mishap. You know, shit happens. And so John says, yeah, sorry about that. And then Daryl pivots right into everybody at this wake wants to know in what capacity I'm here. Are we still boyfriend and girlfriend? Are we still in 8th grade? Should I pass a lunch a note through like, my best friend to you at lunch? Will you answer like, this is really. This is real. This is really appalling. This is a real low. Darrell writes in her New York Times op ed quote, it is appalling to me that I even have to defend myself against a television show. These are not creative embellishments of personality. They are assertions about conduct and they are false. And now we're going to look at the final clip that we're going to show from Love story of JFK Jr. This never happened. There would be images of this. It never happened. John goes out to the balcony of his mother's apartment building and waves to a crowd of New Yorkers, mourners below, who are singing like God bless America never happens. And Daryl, unbidden, pushing herself into his life, into his grief. This Daryl, trying to exploit his very deep grief over the death of his mother and use that as a way to work herself back in as his fiance as America's new first lady. Here we go. John's looking at her like, are you kidding me? And she's dressed like a widow. And then he releases his hand and waves to the crowd while smirking. Not for nothing, when John F. Kennedy Jr. And Daryl Hannah were together, she was one of the biggest movie stars on the planet. She became a star overnight with her role as the mermaid in Splash. Then she went on to co star in Steel Magnolias, directed by John's aunt. Aunts. Lee Radziwill was at the time married to Herbert Ross, who was a closeted gay man. Herb Ross directed Steel Magnolias. They all were of a world. Daryl Hannah came from a very wealthy family that was part of the part of the Democratic machine in Chicago. She was sophisticated. She starred in Legal Eagles opposite Robert Redford. She was a major, major star. This show treats her like a moron. Darryl closes out her op ed with what I think is one of the most important points, that this is what we've been talking about. This is why we're doing this recap every week. Separating truth from fiction, Darrell writes, many people believe what they see on TV and do not distinguish between dramatization and documented fact. And the impact is not abstract in a digital era. Entertainment often becomes collective memory. She is right. Real names are not fictional tools. She is right. They belong to real lives. And this is the problem with Love Story. There are far too many people who don't know that much about the Kennedys, who don't know that much about JFK Jr. And Carolyn Bessette, who weren't even alive when these two died, who are taking this all as fact and it is not. It is dangerous. And who are taking this version of their relationship as as its title would have us believe. A true love story. Again, these people were so damaged and so fucked up that they wound up d at very tender ages in a wholly avoidable plane crash. Okay. Other celebrities are taking up for Daryl Hannah against Ryan Murphy. And Ryan Murphy's a powerful guy, so the nerve applauds. Move the culture. Move it to the right direction. This is Rosanna Arquette on Instagram on Sunday. Her caption underneath a photo of herself with Darryl, quote, unquote, I love Daryl Hannah. She's a great woman, a great actor, writer, director, and activist for the environment for years. She is also an animal whisperer. Her work in the world has been epic. The portrayal of her on the streaming thing is bullshit. Her love with John F. Kennedy Jr. Was real. And some of the happiest times, John F. Kennedy Jr. Had just ask his family, but no one did. Other celebrities who commented, Ione, Skyla, Griffin, Dunn. Now, over the weekend, there was a himbo convention in Washington Square Park. Yes. A JFK junior Lookalike contest which drew hundreds of contestants. We would see JFK Jr on rollerblades, JFK Jr in a suit, JFK Jr on a bike, JFK Jr in a backwards kangal with, like, some sunglasses on and, like a bike chain slung to the side of his shorts. But all in all, it was a himbo competition. Okay? And we are going to listen to the winner. The winner got, like 250 bucks. Okay, here's the winner. It was a bonafide stud, you know, the sexiest man in America. I knew I had a shot just based off of how I look. I did not think I was going to win. I'm happy I did enter because I did win. So. So that guy seems like a worthy winner because he sounds a lot like JFK Jr. Like, I'm happy I entered because I didn't think I would win, but I would win. It's like it's all goes back to a loop. It sounds like Chanel and Jenna on the Today show. Morons, Morons, Morons. Hey, how about for a JFK junior look alike competition. What JFK junior Did to himself and turned him and his wife and his sister into at the bottom of the fucking Atlantic Ocean. How about that? And you know what just came up on my screen? No license. Which I take as a sign from the gods. I have license to say it and I will. I will. That does it. That does it for our Tuesday edition of the Nerve.
