Nicholas Alexander Chavez as Lyle Menéndez crying and sitting next to Eric in Monsters The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story
As audiences already find themselves divided on the new season, Erik Menendez has some sharp critiques for Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The show marks the second season of Ryan Murphy's Monster anthology on Netflix, chronicling the infamous story of the titular brothers as they murdered their parents in 1989 and eventually went on trial in 1996, where they received life sentences without the possibility of parole.
Menendez goes on to criticize the way the media have depicted both of the brothers throughout the years, particularly because there have been"countless brave victims over the last two decades who have broken through their personal shame and bravely spoken out." He goes on to ask"is the truth not enough?" and expresses a"demoralizing" feeling that with the show, Murphy"can undermine decades of progress in shining light on childhood trauma".
In looking at the audience scores for his shows, it's clear that Murphy's defenders have generally stuck with him even as his true-crime projects have become increasingly divisive. As such, it doesn't seem likely that Monsters season 2 will see viewers turn away from watching The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, even in spite of Erik's criticisms regarding its factual accuracy.
