Evan Peters Has Been Called Out By One Of Jeffrey Dahmer’s Victim’s Moms After He Won A Golden Globe For Playing The Serial Killer
In September, Netflix released Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, which starred Evan Peters as one of the United States’ most notorious real-life serial killers.

NetflixHe also lashed out at Netflix for recreating the moment that Lindsey’s sister, Rita Isbell, confronted Dahmer in court.

“The victims have children and grandchildren. If the show benefited them in some way, it wouldn’t feel so harsh and careless,” she added. “It’s sad that they’re just making money off of this tragedy. That’s just greed.”
NetflixAnother criticism of the series was that Peters’s performance as Dahmer had made viewers empathize with the killer, with his acting skills distracting from the heinous crimes.
Jon Kopaloff / FilmMagic“Serious question: Is there something wrong with me because I high-key felt bad for Jeffrey Dahmer?” one person posted on TikTok. “When they killed Jeffrey, I was literally teary-eyed.”

Despite the controversies, Monster ended up being one of Netflix’s most popular shows, racking up over 196 million hours viewed in its first week alone.
NetflixPeters also received critical acclaim for his performance, and on Tuesday, he won what people believe to be the first of many awards for the series at the Golden Globes.
NetflixAccepting the accolade for Best Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series, Peters admitted that it had been a “difficult” role as he thanked his loved ones for helping him through.

Rich Polk / NBC via Getty ImagesAfter his speech, some took to social media to admit that they had expected Peters to at least acknowledge the victims, with one person writing: “Don’t cancel me but I think some sort of acknowledgement of the victims was the least Evan Peters could do during his acceptance speech.. a tad disappointed ngl, esp after all the backlash and feedback it got from victims’ real-life family members.”

Speaking to TMZ, Hughes shared her fury at Peters’s Golden Globes win, saying that he should have at least used his acceptance speech to mention the families who are still suffering.
Ralf-finn Hestoft / Corbis via Getty ImagesTMZ also reports that Hughes “scoffed” at Peters’s hope that good will come from the series, believing that no good will come from his award or from the show.
Rich Polk / NBC via Getty Images“There’s a lot of sick people around the world, and people winning acting roles from playing killers keeps the obsession going and this makes sick people thrive on the fame,” she said.
Curt Borgwardt / Sygma via Getty Images“It’s a shame that people can take our tragedy and make money. The victims never saw a cent. We go through these emotions every day,” Hughes added.
NetflixMonster’s producer, Ryan Murphy, previously claimed that he reached out to around 20 families before making Monster but didn’t hear back, so instead relied on “very large research staff” who worked on the series for three and a half years.
Jason Laveris / FilmMagic“I was never interested in Jeffrey Dahmer, the monster. I was interested in what made him. I think that the fact that all of the characters in this are seen as true humans makes some people uncomfortable. I understand that and I try not to have an opinion on that,” he told Variety. “We always tried to center everything on the victims.”
NetflixMurphy also denied that he’d created a show that is “sympathetic” to Dahmer, telling Page Six: “I think we show a human being. He’s monstrously human and he’s monstrously monstrous and that’s what we wanted to sort of unpack. We tried to show an objective portrait as possible. We did our homework.”
