Aaron Hernandez has been back in headlines in the past few weeks due to Netflix’s docuseries, Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez. One aspect of the film that received a lot of criticism is that no one close to Hernandez actually appeared in the film. His former fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, only recently spoke on the docuseries to ABC but it appears that Aaron’s brother is also breaking his silence.

Jonathan Hernandez is set to appear on Dr. Oz’s show tomorrow. Ahead of the episode airing, Entertainment Weekly shared a few clips from the interview where he gets candid with the show’s host. The topic of the abuse Aaron Hernandez endured as a child was detailed in the documentary but Jonathan confirmed that their father really was that abusive towards them.

“I don’t think ‘beat’ is really even the word that can be expressed,” he said. “When you literally have to blow on your brother’s wounds because of the creases of a belt or a handprint in your body and the burning sensation it has and have a rule in your household that you can get beat but you stay away from the face so other people can’t notice.”

Jonathan also speaks on the allegations that the murder of Odin Lloyd was motivated because he knew that Aaron was gay. However, like everyone else, including Shayanna Jenkins, he is still scratching his head over it. Peep the clips below. The full episode airs on Thursday.

Aaron Hernandez has been back in headlines over the past few weeks since Netflix debuted Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez which explored his murder cases, his sexuality, and his CTE diagnosis. For the first time since the docuseries, his former fiancee Shayanna Jenkins is opening up about the claims made in the docuseries including his sexuality. 

“If he did feel that way or if he felt the urge, I wish that I was told. I wish that he would’ve told me ’cause I wouldn’t — I would not have loved him any differently. I would’ve understood. It’s not shameful and I don’t think anybody should feel shameful about who they are inside, regardless of who they love. I think, I think it’s a beautiful thing,” she told ABC News’ Amy Robach. “I wish I was able to tell him that.”

In the interview, which is set to air in full on Wednesday, she also speaks on one of the people in the documentary, Dennis Sansoucie. Sansoucie was a high school teammate and a friend of Hernandez. He claimed that they would engage in sexual acts when they were in high school. Jenkins-Hernandez said that she only knew of Sansoucie but he wasn’t active in Aaron’s adult life. 

The entire interview is set to air tomorrow (Wednesday, Jan. 28th) at 7 a.m. on Good Morning America.

Aaron Hernandez has been back in the news after Netflix released the documentary, Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez. The documentary was obviously a bombshell, detailing his sexuality, his murder cases, his childhood, and more. One person who didn't appear in the documentary, though, is Shayanna Jenkins, the former fiancee of the one-time NFL star.

Former football star and convicted murderer Aaron Hernandez is the topic of conversation worldwide following the release of Netflix’s docuseries, Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez. In 2017, while in prison serving out a life sentence after he was convicted of first-degree murder over the shooting death of his friend Odin Lloyd, Hernandez was found dead in his Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center cell. He was hanging from bedsheets attached to a window.

There has been much speculation regarding Hernandez’s life since his suicide, including rumors that he was secretly homosexual. Over the last few days, news reports have surfaced that Hernandez took his own life because of his sexuality—an assertion that his lawyer would later reject. The docuseries goes into intimate details about Hernandez’s life, career, and alleged crimes, but as thorough as this all seems, TMZ reports that victim Odin Lloyd’s family was “blindsided” by the feature.

The publication states that Lloyd’s family feels as if they have to relive a traumatic time in their lives that they’ve been trying to move on from since 2013. The family reportedly didn’t want anything to do with the production of Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez and have repeatedly rejected offers from filmmakers interested in documenting Hernandez’s story. Although members of Lloyd’s family are seen in the recently released Netflix series, they didn’t participate nor did they grant Netflix access to use their photos.

The internet can often be a cruel place, and it’s reported that there have been fans of Hernandez who have tracked down and reached out to Lloyd’s family members to insult the murder victim. Lloyd’s family reportedly isn’t seeking legal action against Netflix or production because they just want all of the attention to dissipate.

Aaron Hernandez’s lawyer has already expressed his displeasure in Netflix’s Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez. After sharing a post on Instagram slamming the producers and calling the series a “lame ass documentary,” he’s now issued a formal statement during a press conference.

Per TMZ, Jose Baez, Hernandez’s lawyer, is completely denying that Aaron’s suicide had anything to do with his sexuality, as the documentary suggested. He made it abundantly clear, though, that CTE had a major role in pushing Aaron towards suicide. Hernandez suffered brain disease since he was in his youth.

Baez wanted Hernandez’s brain studied at Boston University and said that the Worcester Medical Examiner is holding onto Aaron’s brain illegally. He also continued to deny rumors that Hernandez was having any sort of romantic or sexual affair with an inmate.

Baez was also very upset about the documentary because of the inclusion of Dennis SanSoucie, a former high school teammate of Aaron who claimed they experimented sexually when they were teenagers. Baez said that he only decided to be included in Killer Inside on the basis that the producers didn’t include interviews with anyone regarding his client’s sexual orientation. SanSoucie’s inclusion made Baez feel betrayed by the docuseries producers.

“I don’t give a damn about what some lame-ass documentary has to say about Aaron,” he wrote on Instagram following the documentary’s debut. “I knew him, they did not and while he was far from perfect, they are not even close to the truth.”

Aaron Hernandez’s crimes have been well-documented. The former New England Patriots wide receiver was convicted for the murder of Odin Lloyd while teammates and fans remain confused as to why he went down such a dark path. Hernandez committed suicide while in prison and after his death, people began looking for answers. The man was clearly misunderstood and the new Netflix docuseries Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez looks to seek some of those answers.

There have been rumors that Hernandez was bisexual and even had a gay lover. In the documentary, Hernandez’s former high school quarterback Dennis SanSoucie comes forward and alleges he had a relationship with the late football star.

“We used to horseplay, that was our thing. We used to love horseplaying and having fun with each other because we were just kids full of life,” SanSoucie said decider.com. “Aaron and I had an on and off-relationship from the seventh grade to junior year of high school. Aaron participated with many people. I was a small piece of Aaron’s sexual activity.”

The documentary debuted today and will certainly provide fans with some insight into Hernandez’s life and his mindset for much of his career. If you’ve seen the documentary, let us know in the comments below and tell us what you thought about it.
