After weeks of criticism from fans about her look on FX’s upcoming American Love Story, Sarah Pidgeon has fired back a terse seven-word response.
The 29-year-old actress plays Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in the upcoming series following her romance with John F. Kennedy Jr., played by Paul Kelly.
Series creator Ryan Murphy shared the first official image of Pidgeon and Kelly from their camera tests as filming got under way in New York City last month.
Fans did not hold back with savage comments about how ‘horrible’ Pidgeon was styled as Bessette-Kennedy, who worked for Calvin Klein before her marriage to JFK Jr. in 1996, on Instagram and elsewhere.
Bessette-Kennedy’s own colorist even bashed the production, adding his late client would be ‘swirling in heaven’ when she sees the look.
While promoting her new I Know What You Did Last Summer remake with E! News, Pidgeon offered a terse response to the haters.

‘I can’t wait for them to see it!’ Pidgeon said in response to the haters of her character’s look.
She added, ‘We’re just getting started. It’s been so exciting. I feel very honored to take on this role and learn about such an incredible woman who’s endured for close to 25 years now.’
Pidgeon added, ‘it feels very special’ adding she’s ‘very grateful’ to be a part of the late couple’s legacy.
Bessette-Kennedy was just 33 years old – and JFK Jr. just 38 – when they died in a tragic plane crash on July 16, 1999, along with her sister Lauren.
