In an interview on the podcast “This Is Gavin Newsom,” Ryan Murphy, creator of the Netflix series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” spoke with the Governor of California about the brothers’ reaction following the series’ release.

On the 'This Is Gavin Newsom' podcast, Ryan Murphy opened up about how making 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' changed his opinion of Lyle and Erik Menendez. He credited his writers, cast and Kim Kardashian for this mindset shift.

Erik Menendez previously slammed Murphy for his "vile and appalling character portrayals of Lyle and of me and disheartening slander." Murphy shot back, saying the brothers should be "sending me flowers" for the "outpouring of interest" in their case.
