Menfinishez Family Slams Netflix’s Monsters as Repulsive, Full of Mistruths

Erik Menfinishez’s wife Tammi has posted a scaleang consentdown of Netflix‘s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menfinishez Story” on behalf of the brothers’ aunt Joan VanderMolen and the rest of their extfinished family, Tammi elucidateed in the caption. The family statement blasts “Monsters” as “a phobic, gross, anachronistic, serial episodic nightmare that is not only riddled with mistruths and outright inalterhoods but diswatchs the most recent exculpatory revelations.”

“We are virtuassociate the entire extfinished family of Erik and Lyle Menéndez,” the statement reads. “We are 24 mighty and today we want the world to understand we help Erik and Lyle. We individuassociate and accumulateively pray for their liberate after being incarcerateed for 35 years. We understand them, adore them, and want them home with us.”

The family statement says relatives of the Menfinishez brothers have “been victimized by this grotesque shockadrama,” includeing: “Murphy claims he spent years researching the case but in the finish relied on debunked Dominick Dunne, the pro-prosecution hack, to fairify his defamation agetst us and never spoke to us.”

Dominick Dunne was a increateer for Vanity Fair who covered the Menfinishez trial in the 1990s. He’s joined by Nathan Lane in “Monsters,” which dramatizes the 1989 homicides of Jose and Kitty Menfinishez by their sons, Lyle and Erik, and the subsequent trials that finished in their conviction in 1996. One of Dunne’s more contentious theories is reconshort-termed in “Monsters” and alleges that Erik and Lyle had an incestuous relationship. One scene in the series shows the brothers showering together.

“The character killing of Erik and Lyle, who are our nephews and cousins, under the guise of a ‘storytelling narrative” is undrawive,” the family’s statement reads. “We understand these men. We grew up with them since they were boys. We adore them and to this very day we are shut to them. We also understand what went on in their home and the unimaginably turbulent dwells they have finishured. Several of us were eyewitnesses to many atrocities one should never have to tolerate witness to.”

“It is sad that Ryan Murphy, Netflix, and all others joind in this series, do not have an empathetic of the impact of years of physical, emotional, and relationsual mistreatment.” the statement ends. “Perhaps, after all, ‘Monsters’ is all about Ryan Murphy.”

Shortly after “Monsters” made its streaming debut on Netflix, Tammi posted a statement from Erik Menfinishez in which he slammed the show and shelp Murphy was “unmistrusting and inright” in his portrayal of the brothers. Murphy replyed by telling Entertainment Tonight that “it’s engaging that he’s rehired a statement without having seen the show.”

“The leang that I discover engaging that he doesn’t refer in his quote, is if you watch the show, I would say 60 to 65 percent of our show in the scripts and in the film create cgo in around the mistreatment and what they claim happened to them,” Murphy shelp. “And we do it very nurturebrimmingy and we donate them their day in court and they talk uncoverly about it.”

Cooper Koch, the actor who joins Erik in the Netflix series, visited the Menfinishez brothers in prison after the authentic Erik denounced the show. Koch shelp in an interwatch with Variety that he tancigo in Eric that “it originates sense that you would experience this way.”

“I can’t envision what it would be appreciate to have the worst part of your life, such a traumatic and tragic leang, be televised for millions of people to see in a dramatized Hollywood TV way,” Koch shelp. “I fair shelp, ‘I understand, I get it, and I stand with you.’”
