"We had an obligation to so many people, not just to Erik and Lyle. But that’s what I find so fascinating; that they’re playing the victim card right now - “poor, pitiful us” - which I find reprehensible and disgusting."

a bold move, calling someone else reprehensible and disgusting!

The brothers (and their family members and supporters) have really worked hard over the years to change the narrative

I just went into a deep dive rabbit hole of the sexual abuse on the Menrndez Brothers, and it is alleged their mother also took part in the SA as well. One of their cousins witnessed the mom saying she was going to give Lyle a “bath” but Lyle was 14 years old at the time, and the bath took over 20 minutes longer.

It's such a shitty comment from him because their feelings regarding the show are valid. Even if the show wasn't a dumpsterfire, their feelings are still valid.

The Menendez brothers should be sending me flowers.

i hate ryan murphy so much lmao

also, i don't know too much about this case so please don't come at me but i guess people think they were justified in killing their dad because he abused them as kids, but what about their mom?

I haven't watched them yet but there are videos saying she abused them too and helped cover up what the dad did.

Playing the victim card???? What is wrong with him?

The last part of what Ryan Murphy said wasn't awful per se, but everything else was fucking insufferable. And what he did with Dahmer in particular was reprehensible and disgusting... so stfu Murphy
