The story blowing up around Oprah and Gwyneth-endorsed ‘The Tell’ is more eye-opening than the book itself
New York Post ^ | Sep. 27, 2025 | Kirsten Fleming

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).

I don’t know. But I first read the name as Andy Griffith. And that made the excerpt even more confusing

OMG, I did the exact same thing! Yikes!

I doubt it. Mayberry was evidently a dry town. So no one could drink there.

Oh, wait. Never mind. Scratch that.

And...IIRC...Otis was the only married character on the show. I seem to recall that he checked himself into the jail cell to get away from his wife.

She named the teacher in the original draft of the book. She took it out for the published book, but everyone in the town knows who he is.

All the actresses, talk show hosts and wokesters named believed Jessie Smoulett.

The tales of her being savagely sodomized in classrooms and bathrooms throughout the middle school and nobody notices are impossible to believe. I'd image there would be screaming from pain going on. When she got home nobody noticed her physical pain or bashed up face or her messed up clothes?

Sounds like a rich entitled woman who wants to be a victim. Or a rich entitled woman who wants to push her billionaire husband's new memory recovery drug. Or a rich entitled woman who is neurotically nuts.

Maybe the lawyers told him, even if he’s innocent, it will just make the problem worse. Many more people will hear about this.

these people live in a complete bubble, setting themselves up to fall into their own traps of deception. It’s glorious to watch

Such luxurious lives with unimaginable riches and they still have to invent problems for themselves.

At least Gwenyth is trying to sell real stuff. However I don’t think candles scented like her vagina are a big seller. But what do I know about fashion?

Why did Oprah Winfrey have $590 million in a bank called SVB - Silicon Valley Bank back in March 2023.

She did not lose any money unlike everyone else would have.
Prince Harry also had his money there.

Search results: The FDIC stepped in, using its authority to guarantee all deposits at SVB, ensuring that even those above the standard insurance limit were available to depositors the next morning.
SVB lost $1.8 billion

I bet it was money laundering. No one would have that much money in that bank so a phone call from oprah to biden to the FDIC took care of the problem.
