Kim Kardashian has penned an exclusive essay for NBC News, advocating for the reconsideration of Lyle and Erik Menendez’s life sentences. 

The reality TV star and business mogul met with the imprisoned brothers nearly two weeks ago as part of her prison reform efforts.

“I have spent time with Lyle and Erik; they are not monsters. They are kind, intelligent, and honest men. In prison, they both have exemplary disciplinary records. They have earned multiple college degrees, worked as caregivers for elderly incarcerated individuals in hospice, and been mentors in college programs — committed to giving back to others,” Kardashian writes.

Kardashian’s essay highlights the brothers’ positive behavior and achievements while incarcerated, including their educational accomplishments and community service. She also notes that 24 family members have expressed support for the brothers’ release.

The publication of Kardashian’s essay coincides with reports that Los Angeles prosecutors are reviewing new evidence in the case. 

The Menendez brothers were convicted of killing their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in 1989.

Kardashian acknowledges the complexity of the case, stating, “You think you know the story of Lyle and Erik Menendez. I certainly thought I did… But this story is much more complex than it appears on the surface.” 

She details the brothers’ allegations of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse by their parents.

Kardashian criticises the sensationalization of the case, writing, “The media turned the brothers into monsters and sensationalized eye candy… There was no room for empathy, let alone sympathy.” 

She notes that her father, Robert Kardashian, served on O.J. Simpson’s defense team, which handled a case involving the same district attorney’s office.

In conclusion, Kardashian advocates for reconsideration of the brothers’ sentences, stating:

“The killings are not excusable. I want to make that clear. Nor is their behavior before, during or after the crime… But we should not deny who they are today in their 50s. The trial and punishment these brothers received were more befitting a serial killer than two individuals who endured years of sexual abuse by the very people they loved and trusted. I don’t believe that spending their entire natural lives incarcerated was the right punishment for this complex case. Had this crime been committed and trialed today, I believe the outcome would have been dramatically different.”

Rebel Wilson has filed a countersuit against producers Amanda Ghost, Cameron Gregor, and Vince Holden, accusing them of a “troubling pattern” of misconduct, including theft, bullying, and sexual misconduct. 

This development comes months after the producers sued Wilson for defamation in July.

Wilson’s initial accusations on Instagram alleged sexual harassment and embezzlement. The producers claimed that Wilson lied to secure a writing credit and premiere her film, The Deb, at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.

The cross-complaint alleges that Ghost sexually harassed lead actress Charlotte MacInnes, forcing her to live in Ghost’s apartment and making overtly sexual remarks on set. 

Additionally, the trio is accused of embezzling AU $900,000 from the film’s budget.

When Wilson reported these allegations to executive producer Danny Cohen, the producers allegedly retaliated with threats and intimidation, prompting Wilson to hire personal security. 

Gregor reportedly threatened to terminate the project and fire 300 cast and crew members unless Wilson withdrew her complaint.

Wilson’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, stated: “Amanda Ghost, Cameron Gregor, and Vince Holden attempted to manipulate the narrative by recklessly filing an outlandish lawsuit. Their real problem? Only a fraction of their outrageous conduct has been revealed thus far.”

“In their desperation to shift the story, they neglected to consider that this strategy would only lead to RW’s filing of a cross-complaint which exhibits a plethora of their shocking misconduct which there are many witnesses to. Many brave people have come forward who have had similar dealings with Amanda Ghost. While unfortunate, this was not a surprise. Stay tuned, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There is much more to come.”

Kurtwood Smith announced a heartbreaking news for That ‘90s Show fans.

Taking over to Instagram on Thursday, October 3, the franchise star revealed that Netflix has cancelled the follow-up series to That ’70s Show after two seasons.

“I know you have been asking me when season three is coming, but I have tough news…Netflix will not be renewing,” Smith, 81, confirmed.

The actor, who stars as Red Forman in the series, expressed his heartiest gratitude to his fans worldwide and weighed in on working with a stellar cast and crew.

“I’ve said it before, but it’s worth mentioning again…this show had so much heart behind it, and the most wonderful cast, writers, directors, producers and crew an actor could hope to work with,” he added.

Smith extended his thankyou trail to the original cast members of That 70’s Show and all guest cast members before signing off with Grandpa Forman’s words.

“We aren’t going to be dumbasses…we will shop the show because good grandparents would try hard to get these kids graduated from high school,” he wrapped up the heartwarming caption with some hashtags and cheese emoji.

Additionally, That ‘90s Show premiered its first season with 10 episodes on Netflix in 2023, serving as Part One of the series.

Season Two expanded to 16 episodes, divided into Parts Two and Three, concluding in August 2024.

Tom Selleck admitted that he will “miss” Blue Bloods after the series’ end this fall.

Blue Bloods aired on CBS for over a decade, premiering in 2010 and running for 14 successful seasons.

When asked in an interview with Tv Insider what he will miss the most about the show, the actor answered, “The actors. The family of actors is as close as the Reagan family and the characters that they play.”

“There’s isn’t a single one of them who didn’t want to come back. Most shows don’t end that way — there’s petty jealousy and all sorts of things– and we seemed to overcome that. It’s something for everybody to hang their hats on and be proud of,” he added.

Throughout the series’ run, Tom Selleck, who is “frustrated” with CBS’ decision to cancel the show, portrayed the steadfast and honourable Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, the head of the Reagan family and a pillar of the New York City Police Department.

His portrayal of Frank, a character committed to upholding justice while navigating family dynamics, became one of the show’s defining features and resonated deeply with fans.
