Lifetime's 'Menendez: Blood Brothers' Movie: WTF Moments, Fact-Checked https://t.co/j0TCj7iSiK

It's been nearly 30 years since brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez murdered their parents, Jose and Kitty. Lifetime's most recent true crime retelling focuses on the brothers' motivation for murder. Were they trying to stop Jose's sexual abuse toward Erik? Were they trying to get their hands on their inheritance early? Were the brothers paranoid that their father planned to kill them? As anyone who isn't a 40 year old stay-at-home mom knows, Lifetime often embellishes true stories and it becomes difficult to separate fact from fiction. Rolling Stone fact checked a few of the major claims the TV movie made about the infamous Menendez case.
Was Jose Menendez that horrible to his kids? Yes, Jose Menendez was the poster child for "Started from the bottom, now we here," and he put huge pressure on his sons to succeed.
Was that a toupee that Kitty snatched off of Lyle's head? Yes, Lyle wore a toupee and Kitty snatched it off during an argument.
Did Erik have otherworldly conversations with his parents after he murdered them? It's a Lifetime movie, I think you know the answer to this one--but in case you're not familiar with how Lifetime does things, no, it's not true.
