Bea Alonzo drew flak from netizens after she dressed up for Halloween as Lyle Menendez, an American imprisoned alongside his brother for killing their parents.

Lyle and his brother Erik’s case recently made headlines again after their story was featured in a Netflix series. The said series also underscores the alleged sexual abuse the brothers had endured at the hands of their father.

“People dressing up as rape survivors for Halloween is utterly disgusting. A survivor cannot take off a costume at the end of the day. The pain is always there. And to mock the pain of rape is despicable. Shame on all who do it,” it read.

“Lyle and Erik are not characters. They are real people who have been suffering trauma since the day they were born,” it further said. “Halloween is supposed to be fun. There is nothing fun about being a rape and child abuse survivor.”

Alonzo has yet to address the matter as of this writing.

The case of Lyle and Erik – who were 21 and 18 at the time of the incident and were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 1996 – has been subjected to re-examination following the discovery of new evidence pointing to their father’s abuse.sabong online
