Rosie O'Donnell is speaking out about her unique relationship with Lyle and Erik Menendez and why she is like 'a big sister' to them.
Lyle and Erik Menendez have more than a friend in comedian Rosie O'Donnell. They have a 'big sister.' O'Donnell is speaking out about how she's championed the brothers, who are currently locked behind bars in San Diego serving life sentences without the possibility of parole in the murders of their parents, Jose and Mary 'Kitty' Menendez.
Donnell says their history is complex. 'I was out to lunch with Barbara Walters and our publicist Cindy Berger, and I said, ‘Barbara, you’re not going to believe this, but guess who wrote to me – Lyle Menendez,' O’Donnell told Variety. 'Barbara said, ‘Ignore him, he’s a murderer. He’s very cunning.’' In 1996, Walters famously interviewed both Lyle and Erik in prison.
Since then, O'Donnell and the brothers have established a friendship of sorts, one that the former talk show host describes as almost familial. 'I feel like a big sister in a way. Lyle is one of the most lauded prisoners in the California prison system. You can’t ignore that.
