The author of a best-selling memoir about being sexually abused as a child has been sued by a woman claiming she stole her story.
Amy Griffin’s book The Tell explores how she unearthed memories of being assaulted by a teacher in a Texas middle school in the 1980s, after she took the drug MDMA 30 years later.
Jane Doe filed a suit in California on Wednesday, saying that “The Tell constitutes neither a genuine nor harmless memoir,” The New York Times reports, and alleges that those memories are actually hers.
