Erik and Lyle Menendez have two new pieces of evidence backing their claim their father was molesting them, according to their attorney Mark Geragos. This comes in the wake of an explosive new documentary airing on Peacock titled, 'Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed.' In the documentary, former Menudo member, Roy Rosselló, claims the band's manager Edgardo Diaz introduced him to Jose Menendez in New York. “When I got in the limousine, I see Menendez looking at me as if he wanted to devour me,” Rosselló says. He later adds, "Jose Menendez was a monster."Rosselló claims he was at Jose’s house where Menendez gave the teen a glass of wine and told him to drink all of it.
