Was the shower scene in 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' real?
In Netflix's 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' Episode 3, Cooper Koch appears fully nude in a notable shower scene. The scene features Erik following an inmate into the prison showers, where they exchange suggestive glances and intimate gestures. Cooper addressed the scene during an appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live' with Andy Cohen. When Andy referenced iconic full-frontal moments in the show, Cooper added, "Just to clarify, mine was not a prosthetic."

When asked about the challenges of full-frontal nudity on camera, Cooper expressed that it wasn't intimidating. "It's not really scary. It's more uncomfortable at first.
