‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Writer Reveals She Lied About Having Cancer, Dead Brother: ‘I – up’
New York Post ^ | 12/7

“I’ve never had any form of cancer,” she admitted to the Ankler in a bombshell interview.

“I told a lie when I was 34 years old and it was the biggest mistake of my life. It just got bigger and bigger and bigger and got buried deeper and deeper inside me,” she continued.

Finch was put on a leave of absence earlier this year after allegations swirled that she concocted her supposedly debilitating health crises for attention and was placed under investigation following the explosive newS. Several storylines for “Grey’s,” from which she later departed of her own accord, were based on Finch’s supposed life experiences, which she has now confessed were entirely fabricated.

I gave up TV and cable 10 years ago. The last thing I watched was reruns of ER. It was interesting. I like watching old TV, like Bonanza now....on YouTube. Books are better, but cooking shows are fun. And dog vids make me very happy.

Have you seen “A Taste of History” with Chef Walter? You get American history and cooking. Great show!

It caught the “ woke” bug bad. It was always a west coast chick show. But my goodness, it went from swirling the drain to leaping down into the sewer.

Yes. I binge watch TV series while programming. Mostly just background noise but I follow it when things are building or I am waiting for something to finish uploading. I am not exaggerating when I say I have watched easily over 100 series, probably close to 200. I don't care if it is good or bad, I will finish it and then move on to the next

This was one of only 3 that I could not finish. It started out OK with some liberal bias but I'm used to that. It eventually got so liberal with each episode containing a conservative stereotypical straw man that the woke hospital staff had to defeat that I finally said I've had enough

It became unwatchable

‘I – up’

I threw up?

I backed up?

I went up?

I wound up?

I made up?

Is it a crime if she was writing fiction in the first place?
I hope not.

Yes, it shows poor character and the network, publishing house, etc. might not want to deal with her any longer but I can’t see charging her with a crime.

Fraud? Hmm....

That old movie “Quiz Show” had a line - something like “Cheating on a game show - isn’t that like plagiarizing from a comic strip?”

She was lying to her company about a fake health condition she said she had. And people she worked with. I am sure she got time off and benefits related to these lies. Thats criminal behavior.

She also lied about health issues of another in her family to work people. She may have gotten benefits from this as well.
