The first season of Netflix‘s true crime drama Monster, featuring Jeffrey Dahmer’s story, was a huge success.
So recently, Netflix released the second season of the Monster series documenting the infamous case of The Menéndez Brother.
The first episode of the series Blame It On The Rain captures the revelation of Lyle Menendez’s baldness.
The episode shows that Lyle’s mother, Kitty, rips off Lyle’s synthetic hair during a heated argument.
The heated argument between Lyle and his mother started when he confessed he loves a girl named Jamie.
He declared that he wanted to settle down with her, but both José and Kitty disproved that.
Moreover, Lyle calls Kitty a hypocrite, which enrages Kitty, who rips off her son’s Toupée in a fit of rage.
Embarrassed, Lyle storms off from the room, and Erik confronts him about this situation. Lyle reveals that he started losing his hearing three to four years ago. He also discloses that José made him wear the toupée to hide his balding.
After this disclosure, the media and the viewers are genuinely curious whether this plot is fictional or based on reality.
The show actually took direct inspiration from the claims made by the Menendez brothers during their trial for the hairpiece scene.
Lyle Menendez’s toupée incident became the catalyst behind the brothers’ scheme to assassinate their parents.
