Amid the controversies surrounding his Menendez sequence, Ryan Murphy is hitting back at the brothers, saying they’re taking part in sufferer.

Ryan Murphy is not any stranger to having to defend his works, particularly when it comes right down to real-life portrayals. With his newest enterprise, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, taking some warmth from Erik Menendez himself, Murphy has gone on the defensive but once more, saying the brothers must be thanking him for the sequence.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter amid Erik Menendez’s dismissal of the second season of Ryan Murphy’s anthology sequence, the creator said, “I’ll tell you my thoughts about the Menendez brothers. The Menendez brothers should be sending me flowers. 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 sort of an outpouring of interest in their lives and in the case.” Murphy added that the final result for the brothers has been nothing wanting constructive. “I know for a fact that many people have offered to help them because of the interest of my show and what we did. There is no world that we live in where the Menendez brothers or their wives or lawyers would say, ‘You know what, that was a wonderful, accurate depiction of our clients.’ That was never going to happen, and I wasn’t interested in that happening.”

Murphy would go on to say that critics – notably the Menendez brothers and their group – are lacking the level that the sequence isn’t nearly them but additionally about the journalists and attorneys that performed a key half in how the story was offered in the first place. With this, he mentioned the brothers are but once more taking part in sufferer to the tune of “poor pitiful us.”

One of Erik Menendez’s key factors in his tackle Murphy’s sequence is that he’s supporting a slanderous narrative that doesn’t correctly consider the abuse they went via. Reacting to this, Murphy said, “I think they could have killed their parents, and also had been abused. They could have been of ambiguous moral character as young people, and be rehabilitated now. So I think that story is complicated…”
