Erik Menendez Blasts Ryan Murphy’s Netflix Series ‘Monsters’
SHARE

Erik Menendez, one half of the infamous Menendez brothers who were convicted of murdering their parents, has spoken out against the portrayal of their crimes in the new Netflix series, “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” created by Ryan Murphy. In a statement posted on his wife Tammi Menendez’s X account, Erik expressed his disappointment in the show’s depiction of their lives, accusing Murphy of creating “ruinous character portrayals” that he believes were done with malicious intent.

Currently serving a life sentence alongside his brother Lyle at the RJ Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, Erik criticized the series for perpetuating “dishonest” narratives about their lives, particularly regarding male trauma and sexual abuse. He condemned the show for spreading damaging lies and slander, calling it a step backwards in understanding childhood trauma. Despite the negative portrayal, Erik expressed gratitude to those who have supported him and called for the truth to prevail.

In the miniseries, Javier Bardem portrays their father, Jose Menendez, while Chloë Sevigny plays their mother, Kitty Menendez. Nicholas Chavez and Cooper Koch take on the roles of Lyle and Erik Menendez, respectively. However, the series has faced criticism from critics, including Variety’s chief TV critic Aramide Tinubu, who described the narrative as “futile and bizarre.”

Erik’s full statement addresses the damaging effects of the show’s portrayal on their lives and the progress made in shedding light on childhood trauma. He emphasizes the importance of standing by the truth and the impact of violence on children. Despite the challenges they face, Erik remains grateful for the support he has received.

As Erik continues to speak out against the series, it raises important questions about the ethics of dramatizing real-life tragedies for entertainment purposes.
