Erik Menendez<\/strong>\u2018s daughter had an emotional reaction to the parole board denying his request more than three decades after his arrest.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA piece of my letter that the commissioner named Robert Barton probably didn\u2019t even read,\u201d Erik\u2019s adopted daughter, Talia, whom he shares with wife Tammi Menendez<\/strong>, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, August 21. \u201cI poured my heart and soul into this letter all for it to go in the hands of someone who already had their mind made up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talia offered an excerpt of the letter she wrote for his hearing.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis letter is deeply personal. I\u2019m writing as a daughter who has spent her entire life longing for something most people take for granted; a real, daily relationship with her dad,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI hope you\u2019ll pause with this one and hear the voice of a little girl who has been visiting her dad behind prison walls and has been waiting for him to come home from the age of 2 to now almost 30 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cAlthough he isn\u2019t my biological father, he took on being a stepdad by title, but in every way that truly matters, he has been the best father that anyone could wish for. My safe place, my teacher, and my greatest source of strength and kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate social media post, Talia called out the lack of public support<\/a> for Erik, 54, in recent months but thanked actor Cooper Koch<\/strong>, who portrayed her father in Netflix\u2019s Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menendez Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere are the celebrities that were \u2018advocating\u2019 for them???? It\u2019s been WAY TOO QUIET,\u201d Talia wrote. \u201cThe only one that I can say has been checking in on my family is Cooper and we absolutely adore him. To the ones that went to the prison without any background checks to film their show but are staying quiet now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The California Board of Parole Hearings denied Erik\u2019s release on Thursday, citing various prison infractions during his 35 years of incarceration. Erik\u2019s wife, Tammi, 62, broke her silence soon after.<\/p>\n

\u201cParole Commissioner Robert Barton had his mind made up to deny Erik parole from the start! This was a complete setup, and Erik never stood a chance! \ud83d\ude21 #Injustice,\u201d Tammi shared in an X post on Thursday, adding, \u201cErik hasn\u2019t had any infractions since 2011, apart from a cell phone possession.\u201d<\/p>\n
