Erik Menendez criticized Ryan Murphy's new Netflix series about his family's infamous murders, claiming it perpetuates lies and damaging portrayals. Murphy responded to the criticism, stating that the show gives a platform to the brothers' claims of abuse and presents their side of the story.
"I believed we had moved beyond the lies and ruinous character portrayals," Erik Menendez said in a statement about the show.that they killed their parents in self-defense after being sexually, physically, and emotionally abused by their father with the knowledge of their mother. The prosecution argued that the brothers, then 18 and 21, killed their parents for money.
"Ryan Murphy responds to Erik Menendez's criticisms of his new crime anthology series, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story'"The thing that I find interesting that he doesn't mention in his quote is, if you watch the show, I would say 60–65% of our show in the scripts and in the film form center around the abuse and what they claimed happened to them.
