Move over, Tom Cruise.

Rosie O’Donnell revealed convicted killer Lyle Menendez is the first “straight man” she’s ever “loved” and “trusted.”

“He started calling me on a regular basis from the tablet phone thing they have,” the former talk show host told the New York Times in an interview published Saturday.

“He would tell me about his life, what he’s been doing in prison and, for the first time in my life, I felt safe enough to trust and be vulnerable and love a straight man.”

Lyle, 57, and his brother, Erik Menendez, were convicted of first degree murder after killing their parents, Joe and Kitty Menendez, in 1989.

They were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. However, they’re currently seeking a resentencing that, if approved, could make them eligible for parole immediately.

O’Donnell, 63, revealed her relationship with Lyle began in 1996 after an appearance on “Larry King Live.”

At the time, she expressed her belief that the brothers killed their parents as an act of self-defense — they claimed in court they were abused and molested by their parents — and Lyle sent her a letter thanking her for her support.

O’Donnell alleged “she and her siblings had been molested by their father,” too, and Lyle sensed “she ‘knew’ from a personal place that what he was saying was true.”

“At that point, I had not ventured anywhere near this in my family or in my therapy,” she told the Times, adding that she didn’t initially respond to Lyle.

It wasn’t until 2022, when O’Donnell watched a documentary on the case and discussed it on TikTok that she reconnected with Lyle.

Lyle’s wife, Rebecca Sneed, reached out to her to “see if she was interested in speaking with him,” O’Donnell further revealed.

Their first phone conversation lasted three hours, and they have been close pen pals ever since. She has also visited Lyle in prison.

The “Flinstones” star’s confession comes just weeks after she confirmed she moved to Ireland to escape President Donald Trump and would return “when it’s safe for all citizens to have equal rights.”

The post Rosie O’Donnell jokingly reveals ‘straight’ love affair with convicted killer Lyle Menendez appeared first on Page Six.
