One thing that was well received, however, was Cooper Koch’s full-frontal nude scene in episode three of the series. After being arrested for the murder of his parents and imprisoned, he and fellow inmate Tony (Rodney Burford) shower together. And what the viewers saw was all him, Koch said Watch What Happens live with Andy Cohen.

“Just so you know, mine wasn’t a prosthetic,” the gay star said.

‘Well, that would be my next question! Congratulations, Kuiper!” Cohen shot back. “You’re very blessed, aren’t you?”

To which Koch replied: “Good hang.”

Murphy, meanwhile, said Menendez “should send him flowers” ​​because of the publicity the show has generated. “They haven’t had this much attention in thirty years. And it has captured the attention not only of this country, but of the entire world,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
