Kim Kardashian has teamed up with creator Ryan Murphy of “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” to advocate for prison reform and clemency for the Menendez brothers.
Murphy revealed at a Netflix panel in Los Angeles on November 2 that Kardashian, a longtime prison reform advocate, approached him to view the series before its release.
Her involvement has stirred public debate, with many viewers voicing opinions to the district attorney and governor’s office, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
The series, a fictionalized account of the notorious 1996 murder case involving Lyle and Erik Menendez, aims to spotlight the complexities of their story and raise awareness of broader issues within the prison system.
Following the release, the Menendez brothers’ legal team submitted a clemency request, marking a new chapter in the decades-old case.
Kardashian, who has previously met with Lyle and Erik, praised them in a recent NBC News opinion piece, noting their commitment to personal growth, education, and community service while in prison.
As ‘Monsters’ gains attention, the show’s creators and Kardashian hope it will continue to foster discussions around criminal justice reform, advocating for fair treatment and reevaluation of cases in the public eye.
