The real-life Erik Menendez just responded to Ryan Murphy's Monsters series

But it's not only viewers who are mad. One of the subjects of the show, Erik Menendez, has seemingly responded from prison.

According to a statement, Menendez called the show "vile and appalling character portrayals of Lyle and of me and disheartening slander."

A TikTok account appearing to be from Tammi Menendez, who married Erik Menendez while he was in prison, has now released a statement "in Erik's words."

"I believed we had moved beyond the lies and ruinous character portrayals of Lyle, creating a caricature of Lyle rooted in horrible and blatant lies rampant in the show," he said. "I can only believe they were done so on purpose. It is with a heavy heart that I say, I believe Ryan Murphy cannot be this naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives so as to do this without bad intent."

"It is sad for me to know that Netflix's dishonest portrayal of the tragedies surround our crime have taken the painful truths several steps backward – back through time to an era when the prosecution built a narrative on a belief system that males were not sexually abused, and that males experienced rape trauma differently than women."

"How demoralizing to know that one man with power can undermine decades of progress in shedding light on childhood trauma," the statement continues. "Violence is never an answer, never a solution, and is always tragic. As such, I hope it is never forgotten that violence against a child creates a hundred horrendous and silent crime scenes darkly shadowed behind glitter and glamor and rarely exposed until tragedy penetrates everyone involved."
