The Netflix show "Monsters" is full of lies about Erik and Lyle Menendez

Question

Erik Menendez said that the show Monsters was incorrectly portrayed both him and his brother. Erik says that the show makes him and his brother as vile, and is in disheartening slander. Ryan Murphy then responds as saying that the brothers have "faux outrage"

Comments

I'd be interested to see what other sources have to say about the inaccuracies within the series, mainly because the claims in this article are from one of the brothers themselves. A nonbiased third party's analysis of the case would likely have better credibility. Naturally, it would be in Erik's best interest to contest the show, and to keep asserting the claims they used as defense in the trial. This is also the case for Ryan Murphy, obviously Murphy would oppose the claims from Erik Menendez as it is his show and he stands to lose credibility as a result of Erik's claims.

Answer 1

What were specific lies from the show about Eric and Lyle Menendez? The article mainly talks about how Eric Menendez thinks the show was slander against himself and his brother, but nothing in particular was mentioned. I found that the main controversy of the series is the implication of a homoerotic incestual relationship between the brothers due to a kissing scene and a scene where they were caught showering together. However, that was not mentioned in the article provided.
