The Menendez Family's Disillusionment with Netflix's Portrayal

The Menendez family is speaking out against Netflix's latest series, "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story", calling it a gross and inaccurate representation of their loved ones. The family, comprised of 24 relatives, has released a statement expressing their support for Erik and Lyle, who have been imprisoned for 35 years, and their desire to see them released. The family claims that the show is riddled with mistruths and ignores recent exculpatory revelations. They also accuse the show's creator, Ryan Murphy, of relying on debunked sources and not speaking to them during his research. The family is hurt by the show's portrayal of their nephews and cousins, whom they know and love. The statement highlights the traumatic experiences of the Menendez brothers, who endured physical, emotional, and sexual abuse in their home. The family is disappointed that the show does not adequately address the impact of this abuse on their lives.
