Kim Kardashian, ‘Monsters’ Actor Visit the Menendez Brothers in Prison

Kim Kardashian visited the Richard J. Donovan Correctional facility near San Diego on Saturday to discuss prison reform with a big group of inmates, including brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez.

Kardashian was joined by sister Khloe Kardashian, mother Kris Jenner, film producer Scott Budnick and actor Cooper Koch, who plays Erik in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix biopic series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.”

The Menendez brothers, who fatally shot their parents Kitty and Jose Menendez in 1989, were convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. They were sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.

On Friday, Erik slammed “Monsters,” saying that the Netflix anthology series’ second installment perpetuated “ruinous character portrayals” of him and his brother Lyle.

“It’s with a heavy heart that I say, I consider Ryan Murphy can’t be this naive and inaccurate concerning the facts of our lives in order to do that without bad intent,” Menendez wrote in his statement, which was posted on his wife Tammi Menendez’s X (formerly Twitter) account.

Kardashian recently worked with Murphy on one other rendition of “American Horror Story.” The actor and reality star also commonly visits prisons to learn and discuss rehabilitation programs and prison reform, which she has shared on Kardashian TV shows and discussed at Variety’s Justice Reform Summit.

Earlier this yr, Kardashian sat down with “Monsters” star Chloë Sevigny, who portrays Kitty Menendez within the “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” for Variety’s Actors on Actors. Together, they spoke concerning the Menendez family ahead of the season’s release.

Sevigny revealed the challenges she faced embodying the Menendez matriarch, saying, “We’re playing interpretations of her, so I’m not necessarily playing her truth, which I’ve found very difficult.”

“I grew up right down the road from the home that every one happened in, and everybody went to the identical schools,” Kardashian replied. “I remember hearing about that case. But my dad drove me by the home and told me the story. And he had been in the home. Because the boys are still alive, in the event that they tried to attach with you, would you be open to it?”

“I feel it’s a slippery slope, and I feel the legal points are really dangerous as well,” Sevigny said. “I’ve done lots of true crime, and, truthfully, I find it a bit of mentally exhausting just excited about those responsibilities to the victims, to even the killers and their members of the family.”

TMZ was first to report Kardashian’s visit.
