The latest project inspired by Jeffrey Dahmer's real-life crimes is quite frankly one too many for the family of at least one of the notorious murderer's victims. Just recently, Netflix debuted the new series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story with Evan Peters starring as the titular cannibal. The series focuses on Dahmer's crimes along with the bungled police investigation that prevented him from being caught sooner, as well as the impact that the murders had on the victims' families and local communities.During Dahmer's real-life trial, one particularly memorable incident came along when Rita Isbell, the sister of victim Errol Lindsey, became very distraught when delivering a statement in the courtroom. Overcome with emotion and addressing Dahmer directly, Isbell had to be held back by officers when she approached the man who murdered her brother. The moment was recreated for the new Netflix series, and this has Lindsey's family unhappy.“I’m not telling anyone what to watch, I know true crime media is huge rn, but if you’re actually curious about the victims, my family (the Isbell’s) are p*ssed about this show," tweeted Eric Perry, a cousin to Lindsey and Isbell. "It’s retraumatizing over and over again, and for what? How many movies/shows/documentaries do we need?"

After retweeting a video featuring a side-by-side comparison of the Netflix reenactment series and the original clip, Perry added in a follow-up tweet, "Like recreating my cousin having an emotional breakdown in court in the face of the man who tortured and murdered her brother is WILD. WIIIIIILD."

After the tweet garnered a lot of attention, Perry also put out another tweet to answer a question he'd been frequently asked. He clarified that Netflix had no legal obligation to pay them or even let them know that the series was in development, so they didn't discover it was happening until it was publicly announced in the media.

"To answer the main question, no, they don’t notify families when they do this," he said. "It’s all public record, so they don’t have to notify (or pay!) anyone. My family found out when everyone else did."

Perry added, "So when they say they’re doing this 'with respect to the victims' or 'honoring the dignity of the families,' no one contacts them. My cousins wake up every few months at this point with a bunch of calls and messages and they know there’s another Dahmer show. It’s cruel."

As Perry suggests, this is just the latest Dahmer-inspired project to arrive, as there have been many films, shows, and podcasts in the past that have explored his life and crimes. Following the release of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Netflix will also soon be releasing the new docuseries Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes. That series will premiere on Oct. 7.
