The Menendez brothers‘ relatives, who are also victims in their murder case, are ripping L.A. County D.A. Nathan Hochman … claiming he’s being hostile, dismissive and patronizing.

Erik and Lyle‘s cousin Tamara Goodell laid out the family’s issues with Hochman in a formal complaint to the United States Attorney’s Office Civil Division … blasting L.A.’s new top prosecutor for allegedly violating their rights as victims.

In the complaint, obtained by TMZ, Goodell claims Hochman is re-traumatizing the family now that he’s sinking his teeth into their case.

The family claims Hochman created an intimidating and bullying atmosphere with a hostile, dismissive and patronizing tone … leaving them feeling distressed and humiliated.

What’s more, Goodell claims Hochman made the meeting about himself rather than the victims … turning the sit-down into a lecture about how he was being treated, rather than taking the opportunity to hear out the victims and respect their voices.

She says the “lack of compassion was palpable” during the meeting and the family left feeling not only ignored, but also intimidated and re-victimized.

Erik and Lyle’s cousin claims Hochman is violating the family’s rights under Marsy’s Law … which protects the rights of crime victims.

Specifically, the family says Hochman’s dismissive, aggressive, and shaming behavior is a direct violation of their rights to be treated with fairness and respect and be free from intimidation, harassment, and abuse.

The complaint comes on the heels of Hochman’s latest press conference, where he said the Menendez brothers should not be resentenced because they haven’t shown remorse for the murders, or copped to all the lies they told to cover their tracks.

More legal issues for the two men accused of playing a role in the mysterious deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans last year … TMZ Sports has confirmed they’ve just been sued.

Court records we obtained show Jon Harrington filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson in Missouri on Friday … just days after authorities alleged the two contributed to his son David Harrington‘s death by supplying him with a lethal mix of drugs at a ’24 Chiefs watch party.

The lawsuit states the get-together took place on Jan. 7, 2024 … at Willis’ Platte County home.

Jon is asking for unspecified damages.

Willis and Carson were both jailed last week after officials said their actions at the party not only led to David Harrington’s death, but also Clayton McGeeney‘s and Ricky Johnson‘s.

Wendy Williams is at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City for an independent examination as to whether her cognitive functions are sufficiently intact to end her guardianship.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … a caregiver not associated with the guardianship — Gina Monterroso — ordered the trip and the test … this after the NYPD paid a visit to Wendy Monday morning to determine if, as Wendy says, she’s effectively being held prisoner.

The NYPD has asked about Wendy being confined to the memory unit of the assisted living facility, where she cannot leave the floor without permission. She rarely gets out.

In addition to NYPD, Adult Protective Services has launched its own investigation into the guardianship. They interviewed Wendy’s niece, Alex Finnie, Monday.
