Comedian and former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell has opened up about an unexpected friendship with Lyle Menendez.
He is one of the infamous Menendez brothers, convicted of murdering their parents in 1989.
In a recent New York Times interview, Rosie, 63, revealed that she has developed a deep emotional bond with 57-year-old Lyle.
