The cousin of one of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims says the new Netflix dramatization of the cannibal’s murder spree has dredged up painful trauma for his family — who are “pissed” at the streaming giant.
“I’m not telling anyone what to watch, I know true crime media is huge rn, but if you’re actually curious about the victims, my family (the Isbell’s) are pissed about this show,” Perry wrote next to a side by side shot of his cousin, Rita Isbell, delivering a victim’s impact statement at Dahmer’s trial and the series’ reenactment?
Isbell told the outlet the show felt “harsh and careless,” in part because none of the impacted family members were involved or shared in its profits.
While widely viewed, the ten-part series has received backlash from critics and commenters who claim it is disrespectful to the victims to dramatize Dahmer’s 17 murders
