Erik and Lyle Menendez\u2019s family slams Ryan Murphy and his \u2018Monsters\u2019 series in new statement. It was penned by the brothers\u2019 aunt Joan VanderMolen, on behalf of the family\u2019s 24 members.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is sad that Ryan Murphy, Netflix, and all others involved in this series, do not have an understanding of the impact of years of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Perhaps, after
all, Monsters is all about Ryan Murphy.”<\/p>\nRead the full statement above.<\/p>\n
\nRyan Murphy is pushing back against members of Erik and Lyle Menendez\u2019s family who have slammed Netflix\u2019s \u201cMonsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story\u201d as a \u201cgrotesque shockadrama.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe family\u2019s response is predictable at best,\u201d Murphy says. https:\/\/t.co\/cy7m9IjazP<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe family\u2019s response is predictable at best,\u201d Murphy said, just hours after the family\u2019s statement was released. \u201cI find it interesting because I would like specifics about what they think is shocking or not shocking. It\u2019s not like we\u2019re making any of this stuff up. It\u2019s all been presented before. What we\u2019re doing is we\u2019re the first to present it in one contained ecosystem. What\u2019s grotesque about it? \u2026 Tammi [and] the family, they have always done this and they did this recently \u2014 they say, \u2018lies after lies\u2019 \u2014 but then they don\u2019t say what the lies are. They don\u2019t back up anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Murphy also added that he believes the show is \u201cthe best thing that has happened to the Menendez brothers in 30 years.\u201d He says, \u201cThey are now being talked about by millions of people all over the world. There\u2019s a documentary coming out into two weeks about them, also on Netflix. And I think the interesting thing about it is it\u2019s asking people to answer the questions, \u2018Should they get a new trial? Should they be let out of jail? What happens in our society? Should people be locked away for life? Is there no chance ever at rehabilitation?\u2019 I\u2019m interested in that, and a lot of people are talking about it. We\u2019re asking really difficult questions, and it\u2019s giving these brothers another trial in the court of public opinion. From what I can tell, it\u2019s really opened up the possibility that this evidence that they claim that they have, maybe that there is going to be a way forward for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Murphy also said he had no interesting in meeting the Menendez brothers. \u201cI don\u2019t know what I would say to them. What would I ask them? I know what their perspective is.\u201d<\/p>\n
