Cooper Koch, Who Plays Erik Menendez, Visits the Brothers in Prison with Kim Kardashian Amid 'Monsters' Release

Cooper Koch surprisingly went to meet with Erik Menendez after the convicted killer blasted his new series Monsters.

The 28-year-old actor plays Erik in the new Netflix limited series, created by Ryan Murphy.

TMZ is reporting that Cooper joined Kim Kardashian while visiting Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego on Saturday (September 21). The stars met with a group of around 40 inmates to talk about prison reform. Erik and Lyle were reportedly both there.

Make sure to read Erik‘s comments about the new Monsters series, which he called “dishonest.”

Kim was likely connected with Cooper through Ryan Murphy as they have both worked with the TV producer. As you likely already know, Kim starred in the latest season of American Horror Story and she’s also leading a new star-studded legal drama for Ryan.

Joining them at the prison were Kim‘s mom Kris Jenner and sister Khloe Kardashian, as well as film producer Scott Budnick.

Scott is the founder of The Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC), an organization of very high-achieving formerly incarcerated young adults who work to support one another, while stopping the flow of men and woman into the criminal justice system.

It seems Scott was doing his own research the night before the prison visit as he revealed on Instagram Stories that he binged “three episodes [of Monsters] before 6am] and he couldn’t stop!
