As someone who has followed Aaron Hernandez’s story closely, I find myself both captivated and saddened by his tragic tale. The upcoming FX docuseries, American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez, promises to delve deeper into the complexities of his life, a man whose public persona as a star athlete masked the struggles he faced behind closed doors.


Aaron Hernandez’s story is about to play out on screen. 

I’m thrilled to share that a preview for the upcoming FX series, “American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez,” has been unveiled. This riveting 10-part docuseries, set to debut on September 17th, will delve into the life of the former NFL player, tracing his professional journey, his unexpected murder conviction involving Odin Lloyd, and his passing in 2017.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but express my excitement over the August 14 teaser for “The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.” The talented Josh Andrés Rivera masterfully brings Aaron to life in this intriguing sneak peek. What makes his portrayal captivating is the skillful blend of his burgeoning public persona as a powerful tight end for the New England Patriots, with glimpses into his private world, where he grapples with troubling thoughts and actions hidden behind closed doors. It’s a performance that promises to be as gripping as it is enigmatic.

As Aaron, I find myself revealing, “You haven’t a clue about the turmoil swirling within my mind.” It feels as if some dark force has taken hold of me. In quiet moments, I wonder, “Could it be that even the Almighty fashioned me this way?”

In 2013, during the NFL’s offseason, Aaron, who had been a member of the Patriots from 2010 to 2012, was arrested. He was later convicted for the murder of his friend Odin in 2015. As a result of this arrest, the Patriots released him immediately. Interestingly, Aaron and Odin were friends, and their partners – Aaron’s fiancée Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez and Odin’s girlfriend Shaneah Jenkins – were sisters.

Following the accusation of murdering Odin, Aaron subsequently faced charges for a double homicide. In 2017, he stood trial for these crimes. Although he was found not guilty, just a few days after the trial, Aaron took his own life in prison.

As a devoted admirer, allow me to share that I’ve been following the development of the “American Sports Story,” a series featuring Patrick Schwarzenegger and Jaylen Barron. Interestingly enough, this isn’t the initial foray into Aaron’s life on screen. In fact, Shayanna, who is blessed with an 11-year-old daughter, Avielle, has earlier voiced her thoughts about Netflix’s “Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez” on social media platforms back in 2020.

She shared on social media, just after the Netflix show came out, “I wanted to make sure all of you wonderful people understand that I’ve read every message sent through Instagram and email, whether they were positive or negative.” The level of support and uplifting vibes continues to amaze her!

Shayanna, who is the mother of daughter Giselle, remains steadfast in supporting her deceased companion. Recently, she expressed disapproval towards a jest concerning his demise during Tom Brady’s Netflix roast in May.

As she told TMZ, “It’s sad that I’m trying to raise my children in such a cruel world.”
