‘Monsters’ Actress Kim Kardashian Visits Menendez Brothers in Prison

Kim Kardashian visited the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego on Saturday to talk about prison reform with a large group of inmates, including brothers Lyle and Eric 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 biographical Netflix 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 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

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

“It is with a heavy heart that I must say that I believe Ryan Murphy cannot be so naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives that he would do so without malicious 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 the next installment of “American Horror Story.” The actress and reality star regularly visits prisons to learn and speak about rehabilitation programs and prison reform, which she has shared on Kardashian’s TV shows and discussed on Diversity’Summit devoted to justice reform.

Earlier this year, Kardashian met with “Monsters” star Chloë Sevigny, who plays Kitty Menendez in “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.” Diversity Actors on Actors. Together they talked about the Menendez family before the season premiere.

Sevigny spoke about the challenges she faced in portraying the Menendez matriarch, saying, “We’re playing interpretations of her, so I’m not necessarily playing her truth, which was very difficult for me.”

“I grew up right next door to the house where this all happened, and they all went to the same schools,” Kardashian replied. “I remember hearing about it. But my dad drove me home and told me the story. And he was home. Since the boys are still alive, if they tried to contact you, would you be open to that?”

“I think it’s a slippery slope, and the legal aspects are really dangerous,” Sevigny said. “I’ve committed a lot of real crimes, and honestly, just thinking about those responsibilities to the victims, even to the killers and their family members, I find it a little mentally draining.”

TMZ was the first to report on Kardashian’s visit.
