Menendez Family Slams Netflix’s ‘Monsters’ as ‘Grotesque’ and ‘Riddled With Mistruths’: ‘The Character Assassination of Erik and Lyke Is Repulsive’


The family of Erik and Lyle Menendez are speaking out against Netflix's "Monsters" and calling it "repulsive" and "riddled with mistruths."

The family statement blasts “Monsters” as “a phobic, gross, anachronistic, serial episodic nightmare that is not only riddled with mistruths and outright falsehoods but ignores the most recent exculpatory revelations.” The family statement says relatives of the Menendez brothers have “been victimized by this grotesque shockadrama,” adding: “Murphy claims he spent years researching the case but in the end relied on debunked Dominick Dunne, the pro-prosecution hack, to justify his slander against us and never spoke to us.” Shortly after “Monsters” made its streaming debut on Netflix, Tammi posted a statement from Erik Menendez in which he slammed the show and said Murphy was “naive and inaccurate” in his portrayal of the brothers.
