A new, exclusive interview with Erik and Lyle Menendez, conducted by TMZ from prison, will air on Fox tonight.
In the interview, the brothers share that they’re feeling “hope for the future,” as the possibility of parole draws closer.
Erik, 54, and Lyle, 57, have been behind bars since 1996 for life without possibility of parole, when they were convicted in the brutal 1989 killing of their parents, Jose and Kitty. At the time, prosecutors claimed the brothers killed their parents for inheritance money.

A hit Netflix series, “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” catapulted the brothers back into the public eye and in October 2024, more than 20 family members called for their sentences to be reconsidered due to the “unspeakable cruelty” they suffered at the hands of their father — suffering that was disregarded during their trial because society had not yet acknowledged that men could be the victims of sexual abuse.
