Co-creator said the new series seeks to show different points of view and believes Erik hasn’t even watched the Netflix miniseries

Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story), co-creator of Menendez Brothers: Murderers of their Parentsnew chapter of the anthology Monstersdefended the series after criticism from Erik Menendez about the adaptation of the crime that shocked the United States in the late 1980s.

“I find that interesting, because I know he hasn’t watched the show. So I find that curious.”declared in an interview with E! News. “I hope he watches it. I think if he did watch it, he would be incredibly proud of Cooper Kochwho interprets it.”

“It’s a case from 35, 30 years ago. We show many, many, many perspectives. That’s what the show does in every episode. You get a new theory based on people who were involved or covered the case.”continued Murphy.

“We know how [a história] It’s over. We know that two people were brutally shot. Our vision and what we wanted to do was present you with all the facts and have you do two things: draw your own conclusions about who is innocent, who is guilty and who is the monster, and also have a conversation about something that is never talked about in our culture, which is male sexual abuse, which we do responsibly.”he completed.
