Erik Menendez Slams Ryan Murphy’s ‘Monsters’ Portrayal of Brothers: ‘Vile and Appalling’
Following the release of Netflix's 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' Erik Menendez denounced the show as a "dishonest portrayal."
In 1996, Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted of murdering their parents José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menéndez and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. During the highly publicized trial in the Nineties, defense attorney Leslie Abramson alleged that Lyle and Erik had been sexually molested by their father from the time they were small children, and their fear led to the 1989 murders. A such, I hope it is never forgotten that violence against a child creates a hundred horrendous and silent crime scenes darkly shadowed behind glitter and glamor and rarely exposed until tragedy penetrates everyone involved.
