The Swallowed Star then smiled and joked, “Well hung.”

Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez, a sequel to Murphy's hit 2022 true-crime drama Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Storytells the story of real-life convicts Erik and Lyle Menendez, two brothers who murdered their parents in Beverly Hills in 1989.

The Menendez brothers were convicted of the murders of their parents José (Javier Bardem) and Kitty (Chloë Sevigny). They were arrested in March 1990 on charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder outside their home and sentenced to life in prison in 1996.

Monster also depicts the sexual abuse Lyle and Erik allegedly committed at the hands of their father. However, Erik, who along with Lyle is serving a life sentence at RJ Donovan Correctional Facility in California, claims Murphy's series does not accurately portray her crime and accuses the creator of publishing “disheartening slanders.”

In conversation with Entertainment tonightMurphy defended the Netflix series, saying, “I find it interesting that he made a statement without having seen the series. I know he didn't watch the show in prison. I hope he sees the show.”

He added: “If you watch the show, I would say 60 to 65 percent” of the scripted narrative “is about the abuse and what supposedly happened to them.” And we do it very carefully and we give “They give them time in court and they talk about it openly.”

“We present the facts from their perspective,” he said Joy said the Creator. “We spent three years researching this – it’s all true.”
