Her fiery posts accuse the California parole board of ignoring decades of rehabilitation and family pleas
Tammi Menendez, wife of Lyle Menendez has erupted on X after Erik Menendez was denied parole this week.
Her fiery posts accuse the California parole board of ignoring decades of rehabilitation and family pleas.
Fans and critics are now clashing online, reigniting one of America’s most notorious true-crime sagas.
A look at Tammi Menendez
Tammi Menendez became widely known after marrying Erik Menendez, one of the Menendez brothers convicted of killing their parents in 1989. She first reached out to Erik in the late 1990s after watching a documentary about the case, and the two began exchanging letters.
Their bond grew despite Erik serving a life sentence without parole, and they married in 1999 inside Folsom State Prison.
Tammi has since spoken about her life with Erik, raising her daughter from a previous marriage while staying devoted to him.
She has written a book titled They Said We’d Never Make It, describing the challenges of loving someone behind bars and defending Erik against public criticism.
Over the years, she has remained one of his strongest supporters, giving interviews and maintaining that her marriage is built on trust, loyalty, and faith.
Tammi Menendez goes on a rampage on X
Following the decision, Tammi Menendez unleashed of angry posts on X, calling the parole denial “inhumane” and accusing the board of ignoring evidence of rehabilitation.
She pointed to Erik’s emotional apology and the support shown by relatives, including Jose Menendez’s sister, who went viral, with her posts shared by supporters who believe the brothers were victims of long-term abuse and deserve another chance at life outside prison.
Her sharp words have reignited conversations about justice, forgiveness, and whether the parole system is stacked against high-profile inmates.
What’s next for the Menendez brothers?
Although Erik’s parole was denied, the fight for freedom is not over. Newsom and others are pushing for a new trial based on additional evidence of abuse.
A judge is still weighing that request, and legal experts say the outcome could take months.
Meanwhile, Lyle’s parole hearing could have a very different result, depending on his record. Whether clemency, parole, or a new trial, the Menendez brother’s fate is once again in the spotlight, and Tammi Menendez is determined to keep the pressure on.
