I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Netflix is trying to capitalize on the success of its third most-watched show ever, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer story, by having creator Ryan Murphy do a whole series about famous killers. Now, that’s led to the release of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, which has shot to the top of Netflix ’s Top 10 list instantly, and is likely to stay there.
The show follows the story of the two brothers who murdered their parents, were found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. And as usually happens, the subjects are not very amused about their portrayal there.from Erik Menendez himself, currently serving his life sentence, now age 53. Here’s what he said in a newly released statement:
“I believed we had moved beyond the lies and ruinous character portrayals of Lyle, creating a caricature of Lyle rooted in horrible and blatant lies rampant in the show. I can only believe they were done so on purpose. It is with a heavy heart that I say, I believe Ryan Murphy cannot be this naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives so as to do this without bad intent.
“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.
“Is the truth not enough? 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. Violence is never an answer, never a solution, and is always tragic. As 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.
