Ryan Murphy shut down claims that Netflix series “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” did not contact the victims’ families.
During a press event for the record-breaking series that had the biggest debut ever on the streamer, creator Murphy told attendees that the production researched the true stories behind serial killer Dahmer’s murders for over three years. Between 1978 and 1991, Dahmer killed 17 men, mostly targeting Bipoc queer males.
Murphy said that production reached out to 20 victims’ families and friends, but “not a single person responded” prior to the series airing.
“It’s something that we researched for a very long time,” Murphy said at an event for the show at the DGA Theatre in Los Angeles (via The Hollywood Reporter). “And we, over the course of the three, three and a half years when we were really writing it, working on it, we reached out to 20, around 20 of the...

The daughter of one of Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims has shared her regret after watching the Netflix show Monster about the serial killer.
Errol Lindsey was 19 years old when he was killed by Dahmer on 7 April 1991.
He was survived by five siblings and a partner who was pregnant at the time of his death.
The daughter of Mr Lindsey, 31-year-old Tatiana Banks, told Insider that “honestly ever since that show’s been on I haven’t been able to sleep”.
“I see Jeffrey Dahmer in my sleep,” she said of her nightmares that have lasted weeks.
Ms Banks, of Arizona, was born six months after the death of her father. She said she watched one episode of the show, which she called “heartbreaking”.

Netflix’s “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” is a ratings juggernaut for the streaming service, but the Ryan Murphy series has been plagued by ethical complaints since it premiered. Some questioned the effects that of dramatizing such horrifying events could have on the victims’ families, while others are just sick of true crime shows and find the genre incredibly unhelpful.
The latest voice to weigh in on the show is Anne Schwartz, a journalist who broke the story of Dahmer’s killings when she worked as a crime reporter for the Milwaukee Journal in 1991. In a new interview with The Independent, Schwartz criticized the show on different grounds: she thinks it takes too much artistic license, and said that the series “does not bear a great deal of resemblance to the facts of the case.”
Schwartz pointed out that Glenda Cleveland, played by Niecy Nash on the series,...
