Netflix’s Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story has seen plenty of controversy since it release last September. And following Evan Peters’ Golden Globe win for portraying serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, it has been reignited yet again by no less than a family member of a Dahmer victim.
Shirley Hughes, the mother of Jeffrey Dahmer’s 12th victim Tony Hughes (a deaf man killed in 1991), has spoken out against the series the same week Evan Peters won his first Golden Globe, which could possibly increase viewers of the show, which has been one of Netflix’s most popular up to this point. In an interview with TMZ, she said, “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.”
Hughes also lashed out at the way victims are treated and exploited by studios,...

Evan Peters’ Golden Globes win is being criticized by the mother of Jeffrey Dahmer victim Tony Hughes.
Emmy winner Peters took home the 2023 Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Television Movie for playing the serial killer in Netflix’s “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”
The hit series has been marred by controversy since its premiere, with multiple families of Dahmer’s victims alleging that the “Monster” production did not reach out to those affected by Dahmer’s killing spree and that the series was “re-traumatizing” for those involved.
Between 1978 and 1991, Dahmer killed 17 men, mostly targeting Bipoc queer males. The story of Tony Hughes, whom Dahmer killed in 1991, marks a pivotal episode for “Monster,” but Hughes’ mother Shirley Hughes does not approve of Peters’ Golden Globes win, nor the series itself.

The mother of one of Jeffrey Dahmer’s 17 victims isn’t happy that Evan Peters neglected to mention any of the men Dahmer killed in his Golden Globes acceptance speech. Peters won Best Actor in a Limited Series for his portrayal of the serial killer in the Netflix series “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”
In his speech, Peters said, “[The show] was a difficult one to make, difficult one to watch but I sincerely hope some good came out of it.”
Shirley Hughes, the mother of aspiring model Tony Hughes, told TMZ on Thursday that acknowledging the real lives taken was the least Peters could have done, and that the omission adds to the grief for the families.

Held back from critics, presumably so that co-creator Ryan Murphy could protect the viewing experience for audiences without access to Wikipedia, recent television or semi-recent history, Netflix’s Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is an infuriating hodgepodge. (That’s the last time I’m going to use that full idiotic title, one of several things Netflix brass should have had the wherewithal to prevent.)
One can appreciate the performers in Dahmer — Richard Jenkins and Niecy Nash in particular; Evan Peters despite an excess of familiarity in his turn — and respect that Murphy and co-creator Ian Brennan have tangible and meaningful things to say here, while also feeling that the 10-episode series is haphazardly structured, never finds a happy medium between exploration and expectation, and probably would never have existed if adulation for The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story had been more universal.
