From praise to backlash and now an accusation of mistreatment of a crew worker, the series has been in the news ever since it was released. Created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, the series follows the infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and his killing spree, all told from his victims' point of view. While the series has gained a lot of popularity, has also received got a lot of backlash for several reasons. One such reason included a production crew member, Kim Aslup, coming forward and talking about her experience while working on set. Alsup, who has been a part of Grey’s Anatomy, Inventing Anna and Dear White People, called the production on the Netflix series "exhausting." She added that it was one of the worst shows that she's ever worked on and noted: "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." Monster The Jeffrey Dahmer Story crew member slams set and show Before Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story hit Netflix, production coordinator Kim Aslup went viral on Twitter for speaking up about the way she was treated on set. She said that she was one of the only two black women on set and was often called by the other black person's name. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post She tweeted that she was constantly called by the other person's name and that working on the show took everything she had as she was treated horribly. Kim noted: "We both had braids, she was dark skin and 5’10. I’m 5’5. I look at the Black female lead differently now too." Alsup’s tweeted about this on September 18, two days before the series debuted on Netflix and would go on to top the streamer’s most-watched charts. She has since elaborated on her experience in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. She also said that she has not watched Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer on Netflix because it could be triggering for her. The production coordinator stated that she didn't want to watch it as she didn't want to have "these PTSD types of situations," adding that the trailer triggered her leading her to write the tweet. Alsup said that she didn't think anyone would read her tweet. According to Alsup, the production on the set of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story had no mental health coordinators available. She said that this was what made the show an unsupportive work environment.

BlackIsEverything@BellaD_Awelewa@CreativeK 2 black people on the crew in a series that's supposed to center on the black victims/neighbors of dahmer?! Ridiculous!44614@CreativeK 2 black people on the crew in a series that's supposed to center on the black victims/neighbors of dahmer?! Ridiculous! Panther Eva@EvaMariaXO@CreativeK @YharnamZilla i’m confused bc apart from the black female lead, the majority of the actors in this are black. the majority of dahmer’s victims were black. so wdym 2? i’m genuinely curious.12@CreativeK @YharnamZilla i’m confused bc apart from the black female lead, the majority of the actors in this are black. the majority of dahmer’s victims were black. so wdym 2? i’m genuinely curious.

Everyone is treated badly, no one cares to be polite, professional, nor human. Everyone is on a power trip. As a black background worker, I’ve seen what you speak of.@CreativeK I’m sure you know more than me, some productions, are just flat out horrid in every way.

Sydney Chandler@syds180turn@CreativeK Why am I not surprised. The idea that all Black people look alike is pervasive. Many of my friends have worked on sets where they were the only Black person on the crew & they were treated like crap as well. Nothing has really changed in Hollywood, it's all smoke & mirrors.@CreativeK Why am I not surprised. The idea that all Black people look alike is pervasive.
