‘Shahs of Sunset’ Stars Reza Farahan and Mercedes Javid Went to High School with the Menendez Brothers … and Monica Lewinsky

It’s a small world after all. 

A TikTok user named @itshannah_nothannah has gone viral after she shared content featuring some famous faces who went to high school with her mother. 

“My moms yearbook is actually insane! #menendezbrothers,” Hannah captioned the Oct. 4 upload, which has garnered 2.4 million likes as of Thursday, Oct. 17. 

As Hannah opens the Beverly Hills High School 1989 yearbook, the first photo she shows off is Erik Menendez as a teenager.

The 26-second clip is set to Milli Vanilli’s 1988 single, “Girl I’m Gonna Miss You.” 

The track has become synonymous with the Menendez brothers after Ryan Murphy’s recent Monsters anthology series included a scene with the song playing at José and wife Kitty Menendez’s funeral following their 1996 murders. Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted for the killings and are currently serving life sentences.

Next up in Hannah’s nostalgic clip was Monica Lewinsky.

Though it wasn’t clear what grade she was in at the time, following her high school career, the now 51-year-old activist later went on to be part of one of the greatest scandals in American history after former U.S. President Bill Clinton admitted to having had an extramarital affair with her during her days as a White House intern between 1995 and 1997.

Monica Lewinski attends the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Graydon Carter at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on February 22, 2015 in Beverly Hills, California.

However, Hannah wasn’t done showing who her mom walked the halls of Beverly Hills High School with. 

In a second TikTok shared on Oct. 7, Hannah shared additional BHHS content, including a school program with Erik once again shown as part of the senior class of 1989. 

Reza Farahan of Shahs of Sunset also attended the prestigious public school during that time, Hannah revealed as she zoomed in on a quote from Farahan, now 51, that read, “Playgirl centerfold wins the lottery.”

Prominent Los Angeles attorney Jacob Emrani was featured as well. 

This time the clip was set to Weezer’s “Beverly Hills,” and showed photos of student life — such as Erik playing tennis and posing with his teammates. 

Also making a cameo was Farahan’s former Bravo costar Mercedes “MJ” Javid.

The second TikTok, which is just under a minute long, ends with a school portrait of Hannah’s mother, Edith Hershkovich.

“My mom,” the social media user wrote over the clip, adding two white heart emojis. 

Commenters on both TikToks were floored by Hershkovich’s classmates. 

“WAIT WHAT?!?! Reza?? Monica?? ERIK?????” one person wrote on the first video. “That yearbook has to be worth something!!” another added.

“Beverly Hills in the 80s was probably so unreal,” one person wrote on the second post. A user named Penny Borsuk Davidi added, “I graduated in that class. Erik shared a locker with me senior year. This is all unreal.”

Lyle and Erik were just 21 and 18 when news broke of their involvement in the murder of their parents. Now 56 and 53, respectively, the siblings have spent the majority of their lives in prison.

However, with Murphy’s Netflix series bringing a renewed interest to their case, while also highlighting the sexual abuse they endured at the hands of their father, there have been recent calls for them to be released.
