The Menendez brothers’ house is all over TikTok following the hit Netflix drama

With the recent release of the Netflix drama Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story and the follow-up documentary The Menendez Brothers, true-crime enthusiasts are now turning their attention to the Beverly Hills mansion where it all went down. 

Posts of the house’s exterior and interior have been going viral on TikTok, gaining millions of views from those invested in the case. One video with 1.4 million views, posted on Oct. 6 by user @manizzle_16, sees the user drive-by 722 North Elm Drive in Los Angeles. Another video with over 818,000 views, from a Menendez brothers fan account, shows a slideshow of photos of the house dating back to the 1980s, including the room where the murders took place.

♬ I’m Gonna Miss You – Milli Vanilli

On Sept. 25, user @momonii_ posted a “Come with me to look inside the house where The Menendez brothers killed their parents” video. Viewed over 1.1 million times, we see the TikToker walk right up to the front door and hold her phone up to the glass so that curious fans can catch a glimpse inside. 

However, in another video user @michaelpavano explains that people are getting the actual house, which is behind a fence due to renovations, confused with its neighbours. In the video, with 398.1K views, he pokes his phone between the fence to give viewers a glimpse of the real Menendez house. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted to hop the fence and film something for you guys,” he says. “But that would be incredibly disrespectful and highly illegal.” The famous house was purchased for $17 million back in March and has since been undergoing extensive renovations.

Hope this clears up some confusion and we can leave the neighbors in peace 🥰 #menendezbrothers #netflixseries #monsters #beverlyhills

♬ Blame It on the Rain – Milli Vanilli

TikTok clips are often soundtracked to either “Girl I’m Gonna Miss You” or “Blame It on the Rain” by Milli Vanilli, both of which appear on Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Following the series’ release, TMZ reported that the property has become a magnet for true crime enthusiasts, with locals noticing an uptick in visitors hoping to see it firsthand.

Lyle and Erik Menendez were found guilty of murdering their parents in 1989 and have spent nearly 35 years behind bars. On October 3, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón revealed that his office would reexamine new evidence provided by the brothers’ lawyer, aiming to support their claim that the killings resulted from years of sexual abuse by their father and fear for their own safety.
