The controversy erupted after a New York Times article highlighted similarities between the classmate’s account and Griffin’s memoir, prompting the classmate to file her own lawsuit. Griffin’s legal team counters that she documented her trauma years before the alleged incident, even reporting it to police in 2021 — long before the classmate claims Griffin’s team posed as agents to extract her story. Griffin’s lawsuit argues the classmate fabricated key details, including inventing a coffee meeting and falsely claiming to be someone mentioned in the book. The Times says Griffin’s suit misrepresents their reporting, which was fact-checked and included input from Griffin’s legal team. Griffin seeks a court declaration that the claims are false and financial damages. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
