Aaron Hernandez’s Brother Breaks Silence For The First Time Since Netflix Docuseries


Aaron Hernandez’s brother Jonatha speaks on the abuse they endured under their father’s roof.

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.

Shayanna Jenkins Opens Up About Aaron Hernandez’s Sexuality Following Docuseries


Aaron Hernandez’s former fiancee speaks on his sexuality for the first time after Netflix’s docuseries.

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’s Ex-Fiancee Set To Break Silence On Netflix Doc Next Week

Shayanna Jenkins will speak to "what was not in the documentary" on "GMA" next week."

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.

This Monday, Jenkins will sit down on GMA for her first interview since the documentary dropped. Jenkins has been silent, for the most part, since the documentary's release, although she did issue a message on Instagram to thank everyone for their positive messages. The teaser for the interview started with the reporter asking her, "How do you think the world should remember Aaron Hernandez?" Clips of her tearfully respond are shown as the narration continues. Jenkins will be discussing the documentary as well as facts that were missing from the documentary itself.

The documentary has sparked more backlash from people who were directly connected to Aaron Hernandez's murder case including the family of the victim. The other day, Odin Lloyd's family said they were blindsided by the documentary especially after they declined this documentary and other specials in the past. They said that the producers used old footage of themselves in the documentary to make it appear as if they gave exclusive interviews for it.

Aaron Hernandez’s Fiancée Speaks Out Following Netflix Doc


Jenkins was a major focal point of the documentary.

Aaron Hernandez has been back in the news as of late thanks to the latest Netflix documentary centered around his life titled Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez. The documentary does a deep dive into his background and some of the people he used to associate with. Of course, one of those people was his fiancée Shayanna Jenkins. Jenkins was Hernandez’s ride or die while he was going through his murder trial. Jenkins did not participate in the documentary but she was certainly talked about a lot.

Jenkins has been through a lot of emotional distress over the years and recently, she took to Instagram where she issued a message to all of the people who have reached out to her over the last few days. Jenkins also stated that she plans to take a break from social media.

“I wanted to let all of you sweet, sweet souls know I have to tried to read every message sent on IG and through email (positive and negative)…The amount of support and positive energy is again unreal! I’m sure you will understand how imperative it is to take some time away from social media,” Jenkins wrote.
