Ari says he shared this rumor with a group of young fans during a Q&A session early in his career.
This revelation does not please family members. Tony Hughes – a deaf and non-verbal man who Dahmer attacked and killed in 1991.
ShirleyTony’s mother told TMZ … she hopes Ariana understands how hurtful her feedback is, noting that the confession made her emotional.
She was also disturbed when Ariana laughed on the podcast about her fascination with Dahmer. Shirley wants the singer, and most people, to know that she and other victims’ families feel very real pain whenever Dahmer is brought up.
She provides… “To me it looks like she is sick with thoughts. It’s not fancy or funny to say you’d like to have dinner with him. It’s also not something you should tell young people what she says she did.
Shirley says she finds it troubling that Ari didn’t seem to indicate any empathy for the victims’ families.
Tony’s sister, Barbarianshares a similar sentiment… saying the comments glamorize Dahmer, who died in prison in 1994. She would like to see Ariana apologize, so her followers know that’s not right.
Now, the truth is, Ariana is hardly the only person who connects to true crime stories like Dahmer. The genre is a huge source of revenue for TV, movies, streaming services and book publishers.
In fact, Tony’s family was equally outraged when the Netflix series “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” was released. Evan Peters participating in the notorious cannibal.
The creator Ryan Murphy defended their challenge at the time, saying they did a lot of research and contacted twenty family members and friends of the victims, but never got a response.
Barbara summed up her response to Ariana, saying, “Unfortunately, until she and her family think it through, she simply doesn’t know what we’ve been through.”
