Ryan Murphy’s reply to Erik Menéndez over ‘Monsters’ criticism

Ryan Murphy responded to Erik Menéndez’s criticism over his latest work for Netflix, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story.

The 58-year-old executive producer and creator of the Netflix true crime drama defended his portrayal of Erik, 53, and his 56-year-old brother Lyle Menéndez and their crimes after the former lambasted the platform for its depiction of their lives.

When questioned about his reaction to the statement, Murphy addressed Entertainment Tonight that he had “many things to say about that.”

“I think it’s interesting that [Erik] issued a statement without having seen the show,” he said. “I know he hasn’t seen the show in prison. I hope he does see the show. I think he sees the work that Cooper Koch [the actor who plays him] did.”

The Emmy Award-winning writer empathised that it must be “really, really hard” to see “your life up on screen.”

“If you watch the show, I would say 60 to 65 percent of our show, in the scripts and in the film form, center around the abuse and what they claim happened to them,” he explained.

“We do it very carefully, and we give them their day in court, and they talk openly about it, we present the facts from their point of view.”

Murphy said he and his team invested three years studying the Menéndez brothers and their story. He also mentioned that writing on sexual abuse for television and portraying “all points of view” can be controversial.

Travis Kelce receives backlash on performance as relationship with Taylor Swift takes off

Taylor Swift’s whirlwind romance might be distracting Travis Kelce from the game.

Sports analyst Todd McShay criticised Kelce’s performance this NFL season in his recent appearance at The Ryen Russillo Podcast on Monday.

McShay expressed great disappointment at Sunday’s game between the Atlanta Falcons and Kansas City Chiefs during which Kelce recorded four receptions for just 30 yards.

The critic didn’t hold back in his comments. “Every show I watch, every pregame show, halftime show, postgame show, weekday show, every broadcast I watch for the last few weeks, it’s like, are we not allowed to say that he’s out of shape?” he said.

Referring to the sportsman’s visits to girlfriend’s Eras Tour shows, he added, “That he’s been partying all offseason? He’s been jet-setting around with the most famous person probably in the entire world.”

The sports critic even went on to give an example of the couple’s long weekend in New York City, where they were spotted “drinking” and having fun at the after party following the US Open.

“I want you to take a picture from preseason 2022 and then take a picture preseason 2024, they’re barely the same human being,” the former ESPN commentator noted.

The 47-year-old added, “I don’t see the same explosiveness, I see him wearing down a little bit in games, it’s OK, he’ll work himself back into shape, it’s not the first guy ever whose not quite in the elite shape that he was.”

Expressing hopes for future games, he said, “He’s an unbelievable competitor, he’s one of the best to ever do it and he still finds a way to make a play or two here and there and shows up in some clutch moments, but he’s not the same guy right now.”

The Anti-Hero hitmaker was notably missing at the last game over the weekend and fans were let down because of the athlete’s performance. Kelce also appeared unusually sad during the game which raised concerns among fans over a possible breakup.

However, no comments have been made by either Swift or Kelce’s reps.

Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck luxury mansion sale hits a roadblock

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marital mansion sale stall after buyers pull out due to family indifference.

Despite accepting a $64 million offer from a New Jersey couple, the buyers have pulled out of escrow due to a family bereavement.

However, TMZ reports that the couple remains interested in purchasing the property.

The Beverly Hills, California, mansion was initially listed for $68 million in July. Lopez and Affleck purchased the five-acre property in 2023 for $60.8 million in cash.

The estate features a separate 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, caretaker house, two-bedroom guardhouse, 12-car garage, and parking for 80 vehicles.

Additional amenities include a fully equipped gym, boxing ring, sports lounge, bar, basketball court, and pickleball court.

According to a source who spoke to People magazine, the Marry Me star was never fond of the expansive pad, stating, “She agreed to it because of its spacious layout, accommodating both their families, a gym and a pickleball court, office space, plus it has two private entrances.”

The insider added that Lopez prefers a “romantic, Spanish, European vibe,” whereas the mansion has a modern aesthetic.

Following their split, the Hypnotic star moved out of the marital home and rented a property in Brentwood, California, to remain close to his children.

He has since purchased a $20.5 million Pacific Palisades mansion in July. Meanwhile, Lopez is searching for her next home and was recently spotted touring a $22 million bachelorette pad in Beverly Hills.

Despite the setback, Lopez and Affleck will still incur significant costs, including a 5.25% mansion tax and realtor fees, on top of the millions spent on renovations.
