Spoiler:

…I guess the thing with the other inmate was a fictionalisation just to touch on Erik’s sexuality because that was apparently something that prosecutors honed in on…that it wasn’t abuse because Erik was homosexual …I mean, can you imagine…but that thought process was sadly of it’s time…I mean, I’m only thinking that’s why they fictionalised that storyline but I don’t know…this is what I read in an article…


Erik Menendez’s sexuality largely played out in the first trial. Prosecutor Lester Kuriyama repeatedly tried to bring up the issue of Erik’s sexuality, but Judge Weissberg refused to allow it. During his closing argument, he argued to the jury that Jose had not forced Erik into homosexual acts, but was in fact furious that Erik was gay.

However, Erik told Barabra Walters in 1996 that he is not gay. “The prosecutor brought that up because I was sexually molested. He felt in his own thinking that I was sodomized by my father, I must have enjoyed it,” he told the reporter. “A lot of gay people feel connected to me.”



…Erik did apparently say that ‘gay people felt connected to him…’…so was that part just fictionalised to show that …as in the conversation he did say that he wasn’t attracted to men or something similar but the homosexual inmate was very attracted and drawn to him…
