The series is the latest offering from producer Ryan Murphy, who is best known for his work on the anthology series “American Horror Story” and true-crime series “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” and “The People v. O.J. Simpson.”

“The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” takes some dramatic liberties with the brothers’ personal lives and streamlines some legal proceedings to fit into the limited series.

This is what the series gets wrong about the case.

José Menendez probably didn’t see who killed him

The series shows José and Kitty Menendez watching their sons, Erik (Cooper Koch) and Lyle (Nicholas Chavez), walk into their room with shotguns in their hands before fatally shooting them. In the show, José even asks, “What are you doing? What is that?” when he sees them enter.

However, as The Los Angeles Times reported in 1990, José was shot in the back of the head “at close range” while he was watching television at home.

This probably means that he did not see that his sons were his attackers. Kitty tried to flee, but they shot her four times in the head and six times across her body.

The brothers didn’t go to the cinema as an alibi for the murders

In the second episode of “Monsters,” the brothers are seen going to a movie theater in Los Angeles and then getting food at a busy restaurant to create an alibi for the murders.

In reality, the Menendez brothers told authorities they were watching a movie in a Los Angeles movie theater at the time of the murders, but they did not leave their parents’ house so they could make up the lie.

Erik Menendez told ABC News in 1996: “Twelve shots fired in the middle of Beverly Hills on a Sunday night, and no one calls the police. We wait at the house, and no one shows up. I still can’t believe it.”

He added: “We had no alibi, we just said we were at the cinema.”

There is no evidence that the brothers had an incestuous relationship

In “Monsters,” it is implied several times that the brothers had an incestuous relationship, as evidenced by a brief scene after the murders in which Lyle kisses Erik.

In episode seven, Vanity Fair journalist Dominick Dunne (Nathan Lane) discusses his theory that the brothers killed their parents because they discovered a secret about their children.

The scene shows Kitty Menendez catching Erik and Lyle Menendez kissing in the shower. There is no evidence that this happened.

If Dunne suspected the brothers of having an incestuous relationship in real life, he made no mention of it in his 1990 article on the case, “Nightmare on Elm Drive,” in which he also alleged that José Menendez had sexually abused the sons.

A Facebook page that appeared to be run by a member of the Menendez family criticized the series in a post shared Friday: “They had an abundance of material to draw from, and this is what they chose to do????? It’s laughable. It’s pathetic. And it’s re-victimization. It’s imaginary. It’s fiction. And to propagate the absurd notion that the brothers were lovers is the height of pure evil.”

Erik Menendez has said he is not gay

The series suggests that Erik is homosexual and in one episode he describes how he had a secret relationship with another boy as a teenager, after being sexually abused by his father.

During the ABC interview, Erik said he was not gay, despite what was said about him during the trial.

He said, “No. The prosecutor brought that up because I was sexually abused and he felt in his own mind that if I had been sodomized by my father, I must have enjoyed it and therefore must be homosexual.

“And people who are homosexual must have been sexually abused, otherwise they wouldn’t be. It was sad to hear, but I’m not homosexual. But many homosexuals write and feel connected to me,” he added.

Erik married Tammi Menendez in 1999 and they are still together.
