Nicholas Alexander Chavez Has “Sympathy & Empathy” For Erik Menendez After His Criticism Of Netflix’s ‘Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story’


Nicholas Alexander Chavez has "sympathy and empathy" for Erik Menendez after he criticized Netflix series 'Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story.'

“I can only respond with sympathy and empathy in that I can only imagine how difficult it is to have the most traumatic moment of your life put up there on the screen for everyone to see,” said Chavez, who plays Lyle in the nine-part series. Our view and what we wanted to do was present you all the facts and have you do two things: make up your own mind about who’s innocent, who’s guilty, and who’s the monster, and also have a conversation about something that’s never talked about in our culture, which is male sexual abuse, which we do responsibly.” The series stars Cooper Koch as Erik, with Javier Bardem as José, Chloë Sevigny as Kitty, Nathan Lane as Dominick Dunne, and Ari Graynor as Leslie Abramson.
