Ryan Murphy has responded to the recent complaints about his latest Netflix series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, in relation to its suggestion of an incestuous relationship between its two subjects. Even when a project is based on a true story, creative liberties are bound to be taken. Sometimes, facts are altered because the lines of truth are blurred and unconfirmed, while other times facts are adjusted simply for entertainment value. It’s nearly impossible to get the full truth because the real-life participants have different views of what the truth actually is.
