Ryan
Murphy

has
no
regrets
when
it
comes
to
his
work.

Two
weeks
after


Erik
Menendez


slammed
the

Netflix

true
crime
series


Monsters:
The
Lyle
and
Erik
Menendez
Story

for
its
portrayal
of
his
and
his
older
brother

Lyle Menendez’s conviction
for
the
1989


murders


of
their
parents

José

and

Kitty
Menendez,
the
show’s
co-creator
believes
the
pair
should
be
grateful
rather
than “playing
the
victim
card.”

“The
Menendez
brothers
should
be
sending
me
flowers,”
Ryan
told



The
Hollywood
Reporter

in
an
interview
published
Oct.
1. “They
haven’t
had
so
much
attention
in
30
years.
And
it’s
gotten
the
attention
of
not
only
this
country,
but
all
over
the
world.
There’s
an
outpouring
of
interest
in
their
lives
and
the
case.
I
know
for
a
fact
that
many
people
have
offered
to
help
them
because
of
the
interest
of
my
show
and
what
we
did.”

He
emphasized
that
the
show,
which
he
developed
with

Ian
Brennan,
wasn’t
meant
to
focus
only
on
the
siblings
but
also
their
parents,
their
defense
team
and
the
journalists
who
covered
the
story
at
the
time.
