Barbara Walters Interviews Erik Menendez’s Wife Tammi | The Menendez Brothers

[@carlosa.1763]

He was s€xually abused during years, and He found a wife who doesn't need sex to love him. I think it's amazing that they connected only emotionally. Imagine what sex means for a person who was abused for years. It mates sense!

[@ka_r_ma7572]

I agree. It's probably the only way he could have a healthy connection anyways

[@albaalm1036]

You are so naive. The brothers have sex with other male inmates.

[@yellowmoon4564]

@@ka_r_ma7572 yeah that should be in all relationships!!

[@JONAC-CANOJ]

This is all so heartbreaking and I can’t imagine how strong they each have to be to maintain their relationship. I just hope and pray that Lyle and Erik will be set free. It’s time for these boys to be forgiven by the justice system and allowed a second chance.

[@Analysis_Paralysis]

Yes, Barbara asking all those intrusive questions is indicative of the same rap* culture that initially harmed the two brothers. So insensitive! I'm happy for the two brothers and also for their wives. Tammi seems to be exactly the kind of partner that would make Erik happy. She values the right things, which are kindness, honesty, intelligence, integrity and love. And she's the kind of person who can empathize with another's pain. I believe she's no stranger to the pain of abuse/neglect herself.

[@rimasarafa3480]

How horrible it is for them to separate the brothers in different prisons!

[@JONAC-CANOJ]

I agree, it really seems like every punitive measure was implemented to punish these boys. It’s absolutely disgusting.

[@pinkfairydust83]

They are back together now though, thankfully

[@SimV239]

It’s actually good for them that they’re separated.. I’m sure there’s a reason for keeping them apart . It will help them recognise and grow their individual personalities. It will keep them from feeding off of each other’s trauma, if together they’ll never heal or recover from their past experiences, when they keep bouncing traumatic memories off each other. This will all be good for them when they’re released from prison one day. They’ll meet each other as grown mature men, ready to face the new world and its challenges.

[@belle190]

Well it made sense then. These were 2 individuals that murdered their parents. Self defence/ pre meditated . They were being sent to prison not friggin day camp..

[@vervideosgiros1156]

​@@belle190You act like if they weren't abused and cohersed but their pseudo-father! The guy was a horrible person and at least he isn't able to harm another child! They were traumatized and in a constant fear! Everybody envy them because they were rich, like if wealth was everything! They were hated by their own parents and victims of abuse! So may judgemental people saying that the crime was horrible, and yeat, defend death penalty! So, according to thpse people, there's no excuse for them to do what they dud, but a complete stranger who are legally able to k8ll a random person without any feelings of fear, horror attached, it's ok, just because the law allows it? That's a contradiction and a hypocrisy! They won't harm anyone, so the 30 something years in jail are more than enough!

[@CabeloemOvo]

free menendez bros!

[@vonDrouver3000]

Free these men, they have suffered enough and deserve all the happiness in the world now 💖

[@JONAC-CANOJ]

Honestly both these boys break my heart, I really hope they get a chance to live in freedom. And Tammy is probably as close to as angel as a human can get. It takes a lot to love someone, then keep choosing to love them when everything in life pressures you to give them up. Most people don’t understand that, and it’s so very sad because we should all be ever so lucky to be loved one tenth as much as Tammy loves Erik. I just hope she’s surrounded with the love and grace to keep her strong. God bless you Tammy, and God bless Erik to continue to be the right man for you. I hope you both have the chance to experience true marriage and living together as man and wife.

[@jenniferlopez3554]

[@JONAC-CANOJ]

@@hanjoocho8641 I’m someone who was horribly abused, there’s very few degrees between myself and these boys. I lucked out because my support system actively and aggressively fought for me (this was very unusual in the late 90’s and everyone who knew the situation turned against the people who supported me). I can’t imagine what I would have done if I hadn’t had that support system, I was angry and broken for decades. At 40+ it still takes a lot for me to feel comfortable and confident most of the time. I think about my abuse and I feel angry even though I made the choice to forgive my abusers. There are days when I wish I don’t come across them simply because I don’t want to do anything that would land me in prison. Once someone has split you open you doubt everything and everyone you come across and nothing ever fixes that torn side of you.

[@linolina6953]

Happy for these two❤🎉

[@keri117]

So happy for both brothers! I saw recently on TV that Eric is now allowed conjugal visits! That's nice (Hope it's accurate news) also in 2018 the Menendez brothers were reunited and they are now in the same prison!(Same wing, so they see each other daily!) lets hope on November 29th they'll get their freedom!!❤❤

[@oldorleans9583]

No he's not able to have conjugal visits with his wife because he's serving a life without parole sentence and no one with that sentence or any life sentence is allowed them, only inmates who have less time are allowed the visits, which is crazy when you really think about it because any inmates who are serving that amount of time should be allowed them because it would stop wives potentially leaving their husbands or vice versa if its a woman inmate due to lack of intimacy, its sad as yes inmates did a bad thing to be put inside prison but their wives/husbands and families didn't so surely under safe circumstances they could be allowed conjugal visits, it would probably put a stop to any and maybe all possible sexual abuse behind bars too because they wouldn't have to look to other inmates to fulfil their intimacy needs, but the state officials say that they don't have any problems inside their prisons regarding abuse and rape, but that's simply not true and if they actually did something about it and took off their blinkers then they could potentially solve it with conjugal visits as long as it was suitable depending on the circumstances

That weird filmmaker is so wrong in her judgement of the two brothers. Erik is a good person who has done a good thing. How can one to be so cynical to judge what these two have done? I, personally, believe they did the right thing. By taking down those horrible people they also saved other people. That guy was not only hurting his own children, he was preying on other children, too. These two were not his only victims!

Tammy was the best thing to happen to Eric, and Eric was there for her when she needed him. Let us rejoice that they both found love and fulfilment. The exact nature of their relationship is their business and not for us to speculate and criticize. Marriage is not JUST about s+x, or why do most marriages fail. Not all married couples are having s+x . Surprise, surprise to some of you. Think acceptance. Commitment. Fidelity. Sacrifice

[@atiblink]

9:20 NO WAY SHE ASKED THAT 💀💀💀

[@yourconnection9303]

Tammi tells Barbara she was emotional starved in her marriage and that her husband was not there for her at all. Yet in another interview with ENews she tells the reporter she was happily married while she was writing to Eric. If you're emotional starved and your husband is not there for you at all, you're not happily married. Tammi also mentioned she could tell Eric got jealous when he found out she was dating other men. Jealousy is not a good sign.
