Ryan Murphy is defending his new Netflix show, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, amid criticism from one of the brothers at the center of the infamous murder case.
Murphy said that “if you watch the show, I would say 60 to 65 percent” of the scripted narrative centers “around the abuse and what they claim happened to them. And we do it very carefully and we give them their day in court and they talk openly about it.” “It’s a ‘Rashomon’ kind of approach, where there were 4 people involved in that. Two of them are dead,” Murphy told Entertainment Tonight, noting, “What about the parents? We had an obligation as storytellers to also try and put in their perspective based on our research, which we did.”
