“I believed we had moved past the lies and ruinous character portrayals of Lyle, making a caricature of Lyle rooted in horrible and blatant lies rampant within the present. I can solely imagine they have been achieved so on goal. It’s with a heavy coronary heart that I say, I imagine Ryan Murphy can’t be this naive and inaccurate concerning the information of our lives in order to do that with out unhealthy intent,” Erik wrote.
“It’s unhappy for me to know that Netflix’s dishonest portrayal of the tragedies surrounding our crime have taken the painful truths a number of steps backward– again via time to an period when the prosecution constructed a story on a perception system that males weren’t sexually abused, and that males skilled rape trauma in a different way than girls. These terrible lies have been disrupted and uncovered by numerous courageous victims over the past 20 years who’ve damaged via their private disgrace and bravely spoken out. So now Murphy shapes his horrible narrative via vile and appalling character portrayals of Lyle and of me and disheartening slander.”
“Is the reality not sufficient? Let the reality stand as the reality. How demoralizing to know that one man with energy can undermine a long time of progress in shedding mild on childhood trauma. Violence is rarely a solution, by no means an answer, and is at all times tragic. As such, I hope it’s by no means forgotten that violence in opposition to a baby creates 100 horrendous and silent crime scenes darkly shadowed behind glitter and glamor and barely uncovered till tragedy penetrates everybody concerned. To all those that have reached out and supported me. Thanks from the underside of my coronary heart.”
In one other publish on Lyle‘s web page, it was stated that he was portrayed as so excessive and was clearly a fictional character.
“Clearly, anybody who watched the testimony of Lyle or any testimony about Lyle is aware of that Murphy created a fictional character. The character was so excessive and absurd that even when this was billed as fiction, it might be boring, ridiculous, unimaginative, and clearly written by writers who maybe ought to have been writing the deep dialogue that reveals up in porn motion pictures,” the publish on Lyle‘s Fb learn. “Sure, I do know I maintain saying the identical issues in methods that aren’t so eloquent, however guess what?????? I’m not an expert author. What’s their excuse?????”
In line with Tudum, right here’s the synopsis of the collection: “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story follows Lyle and Erik Menendez, two brothers who fatally shot their dad and mom of their Beverly Hills residence in 1989.
