Rosanna Arquette is standing up for her friend Daryl Hannah in response to Hannah’s depiction in the FX/Hulu series Love Story, which chronicles the end of her relationship and subsequent breakup withJohn F. Kennedy Jr.

In an Instagram post, Arquette makes it clear how much she loves her friend, calling the portrayal of Hannah in the series, which tells the story of how JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette fell in love, “Bulls—.”

“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 bullsh–. 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,” Arquette captioned the photo, which showed her standing alongside Hannah.

In the comments, several other stars chimed in.

Griffin Dunne shared, “Daryl was treated HORRIBLY but man, can she stick up for stick up for herself. Her op/ed in the Times was brilliant and should have shamed everyone responsible for her gross depiction.”

Ione Skye added, “Daryl, the real Daryl Hannah everyone knows and can tell is all the things you say – she’s brilliant. ❤️💕 I admire her so much always have.”

Several other stars, from Debi Mazar to Frances Fisher, chimed in with praise for Hannah.

What Has Daryl Hannah Said About Love Story?

Hannah spoke out in an essay for the New York Times that condemns the nine-part series created by Ryan Murphy and her depiction in it.

“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.”

Hannah continued by saying, “I have long believed that engaging with distortion often amplifies it. But a recent tragedy-exploiting television series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette features a character using my name and presents her as me. The choice to present her as irritating, self-absorbed, whiny and inappropriate was no accident.”

She also condemned several details as being untrue, including a scene where Hannah is hosting a party where cocaine is used on top of a Kennedy heirloom.

“I have never used cocaine in my life or hosted cocaine-fueled parties,” she shared. “I have never pressured anyone into marriage. I have never desecrated any family heirloom or intruded upon anyone’s private memorial.”

Who Else Has Spoken Out In Support of Daryl Hannah?

In response to the depiction of Hannah in Love Story, several other actors and friends have spoken out in support of the actress. Everybody Loves Raymond alum Patricia Heaton took to Twitter/X to share her fond memories of meeting Hannah.

“For what it’s worth, I met Daryl Hannah early on in my career when I worked a few days on a movie with her. I was just starting out, she had already become a huge star in ‘Splash’, and yet she treated me with such kindness and inclusiveness, chatting with me about all kinds of things and graciously offering her trailer to me in case I was bored and wanted to watch a movie,” Heaton shared.

Jamie Lee Curtis also shared Hannah’s NYT essay, commenting, “IMPORTANT.”
