The mother of one of Jeffrey Dahmer‘s victims is angry over Evan Peters’ Golden Globe win.
According to TMZ, Shirley, the mother of Dahmer victim Tony Hughes, says “Evan should have used his acceptance speech to mention the families who are still suffering from Dahmer’s crimes or to say Hollywood should put an end to telling stories about killers and glorifying them.”
Peters won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series for his work playing Jeffrey Dahmer in the Netflix miniseries Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
In his acceptance speech, he told the audience he hoped something good would come from his win and the series.
Shirley says “nothing good will come from Evan’s award for the Netflix series.” She continues,” it just adds to the grief for the families of the people Dahmer killed, replaying the tragedy over and over.”
When disgusted that Peters took on the role, she explains, “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.”
