Kim Kardashian ‘visits Menendez brothers in prison’ after Erik SLAMMED her pal Ryan Murphy over ‘inaccurate’ Netflix series

During a surprise visit to the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego, Kim Kardashian met Erik and Lyle Menéndez, infamous for their high-profile murder trial in the 1990s.

The meeting, reported by TMZ on Saturday, shortly after Erik publicly criticized Kardashian collaborator Ryan Murphy and his Netflix series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, which dramatizes their lives.

Along with her sister Khloe Kardashian and mother Kris Jenner, Kim spoke to a group of about 40 inmates about her continued commitment to criminal justice reform, the outlet’s source said.

It is notable that actor Cooper Koch, who plays Erik in the series, was also present with them.

A major topic of conversation was Greenspace, an initiative led by Lyle that focuses on beautifying prison gardens as a means of promoting rehabilitation, the insider said.

Erik and Lyle were convicted in 1989 for the brutal murder of their parents in their Beverly Hills home. Both brothers are currently serving life sentences.

News of the meeting came after it was revealed that Erik had shared his thoughts on the miniseries on Lyle’s Facebook page, criticizing Murphy for what he called the “horrible,” “blatant lies” in the series.

“I believed we had moved past the lies and the ruinous characterizations of Lyle, and had created a caricature of Lyle that was rooted in the horrible and blatant lies that were rampant on the show. I can only believe they did this on purpose,” Erik’s lengthy post began.

“It is with a heavy heart that I have to say that Ryan Murphy cannot be so naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives that he can do this without malicious intent.”

Erik is played by Koch in the series, while Lyle is played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez in the series.

Javier Bardem plays their father José Menendez and Chloë Sevigny plays their mother Kitty.

He continued: ‘It’s sad to know that Netflix’s dishonest portrayal of the tragedies surrounding our crime has taken the painful truth several steps back in time – back to an era when the prosecution built a narrative on a belief system that men were not sexually abused and that men experienced rape trauma differently than women.’

Monsters premiered on Netflix on September 19 and stars the brothers as spoiled brats who get into a money scandal after shooting their parents.

Later in the series, the brothers’ sexual abuse by their parents is shown, hinting at Lyle and Erik’s real motives for the murders.

‘These terrible lies have been debunked and exposed by countless brave victims over the past two decades. They have broken through their personal shame and bravely spoken out,’ Erik emphasizes.

“So now Murphy fleshes out his hideous story through disgusting and appalling characterizations of Lyle and me and disheartening slander,” he wrote.

The criticism came after Murphy first collaborated with Kim on American Horror Story: Delicate, which premiered on September 20, 2023.

In this groundbreaking series, Kardashian played her first major scripted role as Siobhan Walsh, a character who deals with the surreal and disturbing challenges of pregnancy.

Following her appearance on AHS, Kim signed on to direct Murphy’s upcoming project, which is described as a chic, glossy and sexy adult procedural titled All’s Fair.

The reality star plays the role of Los Angeles’ top divorce attorney and the head of an all-female law firm.

For Kardashian, it feels like an especially fitting role for an attorney, since she’s already actively pursuing a legal career in real life. She passed the baby bar exam last year, and now she’s preparing for the full bar exam.

Kim’s commitment to criminal justice reform began in 2017, when she advocated for Alice Johnson, a woman serving a life sentence for non-violent drug trafficking.

Kardashian initially reached out to Ivanka Trump to draw attention to Johnson’s case.

Her advocacy culminated in a meeting with former President Donald Trump, where she passionately advocated for a pardon for Johnson.

Kardashian’s efforts were rewarded in June 2018 when Trump pardoned Johnson, freeing her from prison after more than 20 years.

Inspired by this success, Kardashian has since extended her support and advocacy to other people facing similar injustices, such as Kevin Cooper, who has been on death row for more than thirty years, and Julius Jones, a man wrongly convicted of murder.

Through her continued advocacy, Kardashian has emerged as a prominent voice in the criminal justice reform movement, using her platform to raise awareness and create change for those trapped in a flawed system.

In May 2022, during the inaugural season of her family’s Hulu series The Kardashians, Kim captured the moment she found out she had passed the “baby bar” legal exam.

Sitting in her car with her friend and publicist Tracy Romulus, Kardashian logged into her online account to view the results of her third attempt at the challenging test.

This emotional revelation marked a major milestone in her career as a lawyer and was a reflection of her determination and dedication to her legal education.

“Everyone told me this was the impossible path and that I would never pass this test, but I did,” she later said in an interview.
