Times journalist’s children allegedly became billionaire memoirist’s focus
Days after a New York Times investigation raised questions about Amy Griffin’s memoir The Tell, reporter Katherine Rosman received a worrying call.
The New York Times investigative piece on Amy Griffin's bestselling memoir, detailing her childhood sexual abuse and the role of MDMA in her recovery, sparked controversy. It suggested that Griffin's memories might have been influenced by a classmate who accused the Times reporter's son of similar abuse in middle school. Griffin's friends suggested she ignore the backlash, but she was deeply upset by it.
Griffin and her husband attended a retreat with superagent Ari Emanuel, where she said Rosman's actions had made her and her family's life miserable, potentially impacting her son's life as well. However, Griffin later clarified through a spokesperson that she had never threatened Rosman's children or taken any action to harm them.
