Cooper Kock, The Actor Who Plays Erik Menendez In ‘Monsters,’ Meets With The Real Menendez Brothers In Prison

Buy Me A Coffee

Cooper Koch, the guy you’d never expect to pop up in your DMs—let alone a maximum-security prison—decided to drop by for a chat with convicted killer Erik Menendez. Yeah, you read that right. The 28-year-old actor, who plays Erik in Netflix’s new limited series Monsters (which is basically a crime show but with a lot more hair gel), thought it’d be a great idea to meet his, um, “character inspiration.” Plot twist: Erik is not exactly a fan of the series and called it “dishonest.” Ouch, Netflix. Get your fact-checking together!

Apparently, this wasn’t just any ol’ casual visit. Cooper was spotted tagging along with none other than Kim Kardashian. You know, because when you’re visiting a prison, the obvious companion is a billionaire reality TV star. The two of them, like a modern-day Batman and Robin, swooped into the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility—San Diego’s hottest weekend hangout—to chat about prison reform. You know, light stuff.

And if you’re thinking, “Wait, why is Kim Kardashian involved in this?”…Kim has become BFFs with Ryan Murphy, the mastermind behind both American Horror Story and Monsters. So, naturally, they swapped Netflix passwords, and now Kim’s out here making legal dramas and fighting for justice—because, duh, who better to tackle America’s broken prison system than someone who can contour like nobody’s business?

Also, roll call for this prison party: Along for the ride were Kim’s momager extraordinaire Kris Jenner and sister Khloe Kardashian, who were probably there scouting for the next Keeping Up with the Convicts spinoff. Also in attendance? Film producer Scott Budnick, who clearly decided to do his homework for this gig. Dude stayed up all night binging Monsters—like, three episodes before 6 a.m. Who needs sleep when you’ve got Netflix and murder mysteries, right?

Let’s not forget, Scott’s the founder of The Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC), which is basically like the Justice League of formerly incarcerated young adults. They’re out here trying to keep people out of the clink, one inspirational story at a time. Scott’s been on this mission to help ex-prisoners get their lives back on track while probably contemplating what snacks to bring for his Netflix marathons.

Anyway, the Menendez brothers—Erik and Lyle—were also reportedly there, probably sipping on prison cafeteria coffee and wondering how they ended up on a Netflix show in the first place. Oh, and make sure you check out Erik’s comments about Monsters—spoiler alert: he’s not thrilled. He probably gave it a 1-star review on Yelp.

So, what’s the real connection here? Simple. Ryan Murphy, prison reform, and Kim Kardashian’s ongoing quest to save the world one legal case at a time. Netflix, of course, is somewhere in the middle, trying to figure out if they should greenlight Monsters 2: Kardashian Edition or stick to haunted houses.

Stay tuned for the next episode of “Celebrities in Unlikely Places!”
