If Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow are peddling a memoir from their billionaire investor pal, who has a mind-blowing tale of self-actualization — maybe just maybe, there’s a little more to the story.
We learned just how much more this week, in a blockbuster New York Times piece that dug into the narrative behind Amy Griffin’s bestselling memoir, “The Tell.” And the article is far more compelling than the book itself.

However, her memories were recovered during therapy sessions while under the influence of the drug MDMA — a practice that is illegal and was rejected by the FDA last year. (Griffin and her hedge-funder husband, John Griffin have funded trials into therapeutic MDMA use through their foundation).

Who is Amy Griffin?
Some skank.
This photo immediately reminded me of Ghislaine Maxwell.
> Who is Amy Griffin? <
I don’t know. But I first read the name as Andy Griffith. And that made the excerpt even more confusing.
It made me think of Ursula and The Little Mermaid.
I hope the teacher sues the living crap out of this woman and takes ALL the money paid for the fake book. Then add the icing of destroying libtard actresses once and for all.
Did she even name the teacher, or give any specifics? Was it a specific teacher he remembers in her memory, or just a generic teacher?
Is that not now-imprisoned casting couch mogul Harvey Weinstein looking in from the corner of that picture? There’s trauma all by itself.
The article said she didn’t name the teacher specifically, but provided enough details that everyone knew who she was talking about and her family apparently did name him. He hasn’t been seen in the town he lives in for months. There also are no other allegations of misconduct from any other student.
she apparently used a fake name in the book but people pieced it together in her home town and her family also told people his name.
Read the article?
People figured out who the teacher was and harassed him based on “recovered memories”. Hope a really good lawyer sues the crap out of everyone who propagated this nonsense.
The "story" did not name him but they said where he worked, job title, gave his marital status, and named the street where he lived. There were a total of five people living on that street, it was not hard to figure out who they were referring to.
When he was cleared they refused to apologize because "we never identified him".
Yeah, you did.
> Who is Amy Griffin?
A really rich woman who wrote a best-selling memoir about being sexually abused by a teacher as a child, based on suppressed memories she recovered while under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug.
Or maybe she was just tripping.
Bttt
I worked with a guy that insisted he was talking to a purple dinosaur after taking X. Apparently they are real and all around us, but in a different dimension and only X can open your mind to see into it.
I was thinking more of E. Jean Carroll
Crazy and Super Crazy.
I had never heard of her. I do wonder why the person in question hasn’t sued her over this. Maybe he just hasn’t, yet.
I asked Perplexity about the billionaire reference, and it said she’s no where near that net worth and neither is her husband although he’s much more wealthy than her.
Drugs are bad; mkay?
