Kim Kardashian calls for the Menendez brothers’ release! They are not monsters
“We owe it to those little boys who lost their childhoods, who never had a chance to be heard, helped or saved,” according to the creator of SKIMS.
Kim Kardashian does not feel the Menendez brothers deserve life in jail. In an essay for NBC News published on Thursday, October 3, the 43-year-old reality star and social justice champion declared her support for Lyle and Erik Menendez.
Lyle and Erik, now 56 and 53 years old, were just 21 and 18 years old when they made headlines for murdering their parents, José and Kitty, in 1996.
Their story has sparked renewed public interest following Ryan Murphy’s latest Monster anthology edition.
“All of our experiences shape who we are. They shape who we were, are, and will become. Time affects us, both physiologically and psychologically, and I doubt anyone would claim to be the same person they were at 18.
“I know I am not!” Kardashian began the lengthy article. The KKW Beauty CEO went on to say that the brothers were allegedly “se xually, physically, and emotionally abused for years by their parents,”
with Erik claiming to be just six years old when his father allegedly began raping him.
According to Kardashian, though the siblings’ first trial ended in a mistrial—after family members testified and “over half of the 24 jurors voted not guilty on the murder charges”—another massive case may.
