Perez Hilton predicts that the Menendez brothers could publicly turn against her once they are released from prison

The Menendez brothers, who killed their parents with shotguns in a 1989 Beverly Hills living room robbery, have a new chance at freedom after the Los Angeles district attorney's office recommended reducing their sentences this week.

They had previously exhausted all legal remedies and have been serving life sentences without the possibility of parole since their conviction in the 1990s.

A shift in public awareness about how sexual abuse affects male victims, a renewed investigation after a series of documentaries and television dramatizations and alleged new evidence in the case all played a role in prosecutor George Gascon's decision, the district attorney said Thursday to reporters.

But now that they have a real chance at freedom, the recent release of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who pleaded guilty to her role in the murder of her abusive mother in 2016, may provide a clue as to what, according to pop culture expert Perez Hilton what will happen next for the brothers. After her release, she became an overnight internet sensation.

Prospects for money

Perez calls himself “Perez-stradamus” in reference to the French astrologer Nostradamus and predicts that the brothers will have a chance to rake in the money on day one.

Simply by telling their own stories, he said – even though they were stripped of their multimillion-dollar inheritance because of a state law that prohibits murderers from profiting from the deaths of their victims.

“They're going to have a smart team of everyone they need – an agent, a manager or a publicist, a business executive,” Hilton told Fox News Digital. “They will provide them financially for the rest of their lives.”

MENENDEZ BROTHERS PROSECUTOR ANNOUNCES RETURNING DECISION

The downside of the great public interest in her case is the close scrutiny by paparazzi, Hilton predicted.

“It's going to be even more than what we've seen in the last few weeks and months following them, guaranteed the paparazzi,” he told Fox News Digital. “There will be at least one or two photographers and videographers dedicated to them wherever they end up in the United States.”

love life

At least one brother could get a divorce, he predicted.

“Imagine suddenly being locked up in prison for 34 years, marrying someone because you never thought you'd get out – and then suddenly you're free,” Hilton told Fox News Digital. “They are on social media. You quickly learn how social media works, and the fact is that even in prison, women sent them letters. That's how they met their wives…Your DMS will be flooded.”

Public perception

The brothers have received a lot of support as their case recently gained attention through streaming docuseries.

The same interest that could get them book deals and production deals will also get them paid, Hilton noted.

“There is a lot of goodwill for the Menendez brothers, not all, but many will turn against them,” he predicted.

Buying a new multimillion-dollar home or a flashy car can lead to people becoming disreputable, he said.

But unlike other disgraced Los Angeles residents like OJ Simpson, Harvey Weinstein and, more recently, Sean “Diddy” Combs, the brothers can say they were victims too.

“None of these people are victims,” he said. “Gypsy Rose Blanchard is a victim, and that is one of the reasons she was able to make so much money after being released from prison.

“So I think the fact that it's documented, with this new evidence and with their testimony from decades ago and consistent to this day, that they were victims, that will help them continue to get a lot of empathy from people.”

If Los Angeles Judge William Ryan approves the sentence reduction recommendation, the brothers will be eligible for probation.

They would still have to get approval from the parole board and the governor before they could be released.
