A pop culture guru has revealed his predictions for the Menendez brothers when they are released from prison.
Columnist, blogger and social media personality Perez Hilton said that if the brothers are released on parole, “a lot of people will turn” against Erik, 53, and Lyle, 56, once they are in the public eye, he said. Fox News.
“They will be put under a microscope upon their release,” Hilton said.
Based on what he observed when Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released from prison, ‘Perez-stradamus’ said the public will be watching everything they do and putting pressure on their already rapidly changing lives.
Hilton speculated, “Maybe after they get a book deal, one of the brothers will buy a multi-million dollar house. That could mislead people.

The brothers lost their multimillion-dollar inheritance due to a state law that prevents murderers from profiting from the deaths of their victims, Fox News reported. But Hilton is confident they will have opportunities to make money almost immediately.
“They’ll have a smart team of anyone they might need — an agent, a manager or a publicist, a business manager,” he told the outlet. “They will support them financially for the rest of their lives.”
When it comes to their private lives, Hilton also predicted a difficult future, stating that at least one of them will eventually divorce.
He said: ‘Imagine, like, suddenly you’ve been in prison for over 34 years, you marry someone because you never thought you’d get out – and then suddenly you’re free.’

Lyle and Erik’s social media “DMs are going to be flooded,” he added, noting that women have already sent them letters in prison.
Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon recently called for the brothers to be eligible for parole, arguing that the pair have “paid their debt to society.”
In 1989, Lyle and Erik slaughtered their parents, Jose and Kitty, in their family home after what they claimed was a lifetime of abuse.
After a complicated series of trials, the first of which was declared a mistrial, they were sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1996.
After more than three decades in prison, a Netflix series shed light on their story, sparking a public outcry.

Despite Gascon’s recommendation to re-punish them, the courts will have the final say.
An LA Superior Court judge will make the decision at a hearing, which is expected to take place within 30 to 45 days after the district attorney, led by Nancy Theberge, agrees with the courts to set a date set.
One of the brothers’ attorneys, Mark Geragos, said he believes they will be home in time for Thanksgiving.
