Zack Sharf “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” production assistant Kim Alsup went viral on Twitter before the Netflix series even debuted when she revealed she was “treated horribly” on set. Alsup wrote that she was one of just two Black people on the set and that other crew members often called her by the other Black person’s name. “They kept calling me her name. We both had braids, she was dark skin and 5’10. I’m 5’5,” Alsup wrote on Twitter. “Working on this took everything I had as I was treated horribly. I look at the Black female lead differently now too.” Alsup’s tweet was posted Sept. 18, two days before “Dahmer” debuted on Netflix and would go on to top the streamer’s most-watched charts. Now the production assistant has elaborated on her experience in a Sept. 30 interview with the Los Angeles Times. Alsup said she has not watched “Dahmer” on Netflix because it could be triggering for her.
