‘Monsters’ Cast Reacts to Controversy Over Homoerotic Brother Scenes; Erik Menendez Actor Cooper Koch ‘Does Not’ Believe the Siblings Were Incestuous
The cast of Netflix's 'Monsters' respond to criticisms claiming the series portrays the Menendez brothers as having an incestuous relationship.
Series co-creator Ryan Murphy had previously defended the portrayal of the brother’s relationship, saying that it came from a “point of view” that emerged during the Menendez sibling’s televised murder trial. As Ryan has said, they’ve shown all different points of view about this case, and certainly they cover Eric and Lyle discussing their sexual abuse at the hands of their father. Cooper Koch, who portrays Erik Menendez, isn’t surprised that there’s been push back on insinuations that the siblings had a sexual relationship.
