Ryan Murphy On ‘Monsters’ Criticism From Menéndez Brothers’ Family Who Call Series “Phobic” & “Gross”: “I Feel Like That’s Faux Outrage”


Ryan Murphy is firing back at criticism for his Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story from the Menéndez brothers' family.

“Ryan Murphy’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story is a phobic, gross, anachronistic, serial episodic nightmare that is not only riddled with mistruths and outright falsehoods but ignores the most recent exculpatory revelations. 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.” The nine-episode series stars Javier Bardem, Chloë Sevigny, Cooper Koch, Nicholas Alexander Chávez, Nathan Lane, and Ari Graynor.
