Production assistant Kim Alsup won’t be watching Netflix’s Dahmer \u2014 Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story<\/em>. \u201cI just feel like it’s going to bring back too many memories of working on it,\u201d she explained to the Los Angeles times<\/em>.<\/em> \u201cI don’t want to have these PTSD types of situations. The trailer itself gave me PTSD.\u201d In fact, her reaction to the trailer prompted her to write a now-viral tweet<\/a> in which she claimed that she was \u201ctreated horribly\u201d on set, where she said there were only two Black crew members, including herself. \u201c<\/em>I was always being called someone else’s name, the only other Black girl who looked nothing like me, and I learned the names for 300 background extras,\u201d Also elaborated to the times. <\/em><\/p>\n

She described her overall experience on the production about the real-life serial killer as \u201cexhausting,\u201d claiming that a lack of mental-health coordinators helped foster an unsupportive working environment. (A Netflix spokesperson partially refuted this, telling the times <\/em>that crew have access to a licensed therapist and other health and wellness resources.) \u201cIt was one of the worst shows that I’ve ever worked on,\u201d reflected Alsup, who has credits on Inventing Anna<\/em>, Dear White People<\/em>and Grey’s Anatomy<\/em>. <\/em>For some, the final product has also been hard to watch. Family members of Dahmer’s murder victims, for example, have did not<\/a> the show for profiting off of the tragedy. \u201cIt’s re-traumatizing over and over again, and for what?\u201d one relative tweeted<\/a>. \u201cHow many movies\/shows\/documentaries do we need?\u201d<\/p>\n
