Erik Menendez, who was convicted in 1996 of murdering his parents alongside his brother Lyle, has publicly criticized Netflix's new series 'Menendez Murders,' claiming it perpetuates harmful lies and inaccuracies about their case. He accuses the show of minimizing the abuse they suffered and distorting their story for dramatic effect.
In 1996, Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted of murdering their parents José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menéndez and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The brothers maintain to this day that their motive stemmed from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse from their parents.
, sought to give serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer a dramatized origin story, family members of Dahmer’s victims claimed the series“It is sad for me to know that Netflix’s dishonest portrayal of the tragedies surrounding our crime have taken the painful truths several steps backward — back through time to an era when the prosecution built a narrative on a belief system that males were not sexually abused, and that males experienced rape trauma differently than women,” the statement continued.
“Let the truth stand as the truth. How demoralizing to know that one man with power can undermine decades of progress in shedding light on childhood trauma,” said Erik as he concluded his statement. “Violence is never an answer, never a solution, and is always tragic. A such, I hope it is never forgotten that violence against a child creates a hundred horrendous and silent crime scenes darkly shadowed behind glitter and glamor and rarely exposed until tragedy penetrates everyone involved.
