Rosie O’Donnell has shared about her unexpected friendship with convicted killer Lyle Menendez, expressing a sense of safety and trust in their bond.
The well-known actress and comedian disclosed the origins of their friendship, which began in 2022 when Lyle’s ex-wife reached out to Rosie, leading to regular conversations and a growing connection between them.
Rosie mentioned how their friendship blossomed naturally through their conversations, where Lyle shared details about his life in prison, creating a space for trust and vulnerability.
She reflected on the unique dynamic of their relationship, stating that for the first time, she felt secure enough to open up and care deeply for a straight man.
The connection between Rosie and Lyle deepened after Lyle’s ex-wife contacted Rosie following her public support of Lyle and Erik on social media, where she advocated for their innocence due to alleged past abuse.
In a surprising revelation, Rosie shared that her communication with Lyle actually began earlier, with Lyle expressing gratitude for her belief in their self-defense claim during a past television appearance.
Additionally, Rosie mentioned that she had been in contact with Lyle as recently as October, highlighting the ongoing nature of their friendship.

Rosie shared insights from her current residence in Dublin, where she relocated in response to political changes in the United States, particularly in light of Donald Trump’s presidency.
A vocal critic of Trump, Rosie expressed concern over the political landscape in America and emphasized her commitment to returning only when equality and safety for all citizens are ensured.
Meanwhile, Lyle is awaiting a resentencing decision that could determine the possibility of him and Erik being released from prison in the future.
