Erik Menendez is speaking out against Ryan Murphy‘s series about him and his brother Lyle Menendez, who are serving life sentences for murdering their parents in 1989.
Erik’s shared his thoughts about Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story in a message his wife Tammi Menendez shared on X, formerly Twitter, Sept. 19, the day the show premiered on Netflix.
“I believed we had moved beyond the lies and ruinous character portrayals of Lyle, creating a caricature of Lyle rooted in horrible and blatant lies rampant in the show,” Erik said. “I can only believe they were done so on purpose. It is with a heavy heart that I say, I believe Ryan Murphy cannot be this naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives so as to do this without bad intent.”
E! News has reached out to Murphy and Netflix for comment on the 53-year-old’s remarks and has not heard back.
