Menendez, who is currently serving out a life sentence with his brother Lyle at the RJ Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California, called out the series for reviving “dishonest” narratives about their lives, accusing the series of misrepresentation of male trauma and sexual abuse.

Menéndez called its portrayals of his brother and him "vile and appalling" and deemed the series "disheartening slander."
