Wasn't 'Lucy' discovered to be a fake about 5 years ago?

Wasn't 'Lucy' discovered to be a fake about 5 years ago? I'm sure creationists have proclaimed all fossils to be fake at some point in time.

"Wasn't 'Lucy' discovered to be a fake about 5 years ago?" Not at all.
There was some cry from the creationist camp that it was a fraud because "Lucy's" knee was found some distance from the rest of "Lucy". However this is not the case, the knee that was found was claimed at the time, and still is, to be a part of a different Australopithecus afarensis specimen. Since that time many more A. afarensis fossils have been found, including some with their knee joint.
"Lucy" is not a fraud.

From what I understand, it was not that "Lucy" is a fake, but rather, as more information surfaced as to the locations in which the various pieces were found as well as other questionable data surfaced, the deductions of anthropologists regarding "Lucy" came into question.
