Herewith a lesson in the moral values of Kim Kardashian. Or her convictions about moral relativity.
Kardashian basically feels that prolonged sexual abuse is as bad as murder — in her mind they basically balance or cancel each other out. She therefore believes that murder in response to prolonged sexual abuse is an understandable, perhaps even a semi-excusable response.
Kardashian therefore feels that Erik and Lyle Menendez, convicted in 1996 of the 1989 shotgun slaying of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, for which the boys were sentenced to life without parole…maybe the brothers should be set free because they’ve been serving this sentence for 28 years (not to mention their many years in custody before the ’96 conviction) and…well, isn’t that enough, considering how Jose allegedly subjected Erik to acute sexual terror and blah blah?
This is more or less what Kardashian has told Variety‘s Marc Malkin and Emiliana Betancourt.
Have I explained that the sexual abuse rationale is total fucking bullshit? It is and always was.
Over a series of Vanity Fair‘ articles, Dominick Dunne certainly explained in great detail how full of shit the brothers were about this.
Kardashian to Malkin: “I think that they never got a fair second trial and I feel like ever since, for me, watching Ryan Murphy’s Monsters show it really opened up and showed me so much about abuse. Imagine if no one believed you.”
Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon has announced that the Menendez brothers will be granted a hearing on 11.29.24 to reevaluate newly discovered evidence on their case. He has also said “they don’t deserve to be in prison until they die.”
Kardashian: “The DA’s office really should right the wrong that they did many years ago. It doesn’t mean that [the boys] shouldn’t have done time. It just means that I really believe that they deserve a second chance and they’ve done enough time.”
Friendo: “You know what would end all this Menendez bullshit sympathy? Show the photos of the dead parents. Show how they shot them to pieces with their blood and brains decorating the TV room. Show the close up of their mother’s face blown apart. They killed Kitty because if they only killed Jose they wouldn’t inherit anything. So they shot her up too. For the money — nothing else. Dunne and others pointed out where they got the “abuse” excuse from…their witchy attorney who used it before and probably afterwards. They cribbed it from a book. Plagiarism takes another bow. Fuck them.”
