I think it comes down to liking the character, who is different from the real person and people realizing that not only are they watching fiction, but suspend-your-disbelief fiction. When I watch a more serious work like Schindler's List, I expect a reasonably realistic approximation of the man & his actions (not perfect, but not outlandish). When I watch American Horror Story and it's about people actually having magical powers, I'm really not expecting an accurate portrayal of any historical figure, be it Laveau or LaLaurie. I expected camp and witches and a bit of awesome acting because of Basset, Bates, & Lange and that's what I got.

Not to mention, a lot of people may not even know she and LaLaurie were real people. I'd never heard of either until some show where they talked about how Nicholas Cage had owned LaLaurie's house and they spent a little time on New Orleans of that era and what exactly that meant.
