Kim Kardashian visited the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego on September 21.
According to TMZ‘s reports, Kardashian met with Lyle and Erik Menendez as part of her ongoing work with prison reform. Her sister Khloe Kardashian, mother Kris Jenner, film producer Scott Budnick, and actor Cooper Koch joined her during this visit. Koch plays Erik Menendez in the Netflix series ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.’
The Menendez brothers were convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder after they fatally shot their parents, Kitty and Jose Menendez, in 1989. They are both serving life sentences without the possibility of parole. The story of the Menendez brothers is the focus of the second season of Ryan Murphy’s ‘Monsters’ anthology.
Erik Menendez recently spoke out against the show, saying that it presented inaccurate and damaging portrayals of him and his brother. In a statement shared on his wife Tammi Menendez’s Twitter account, Erik said, “It is with a heavy heart that I say, I believe Ryan Murphy cannot be this naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives so as to do this without bad intent.”
Kim Kardashian has been involved in prison reform for several years. She often visits prisons to talk about rehabilitation programs and share her experiences through her TV shows and appearances, including at the Justice Reform Summit hosted by Variety. She also worked with Ryan Murphy on another project for ‘American Horror Story.’
