Full Episode
Campsite Media. From Sony Music Entertainment and Campsite Media, this is Infamous. I'm Natalie Robomed. What would you do if you found out that someone in your life, your co-worker, your best friend, maybe even your wife, was lying to you? Not just about little things, like whether they took the trash out or remembered to call the vet, but really huge, consequential, life-changing stuff.
Like whether they had cancer, or only one kidney, or were present for the aftermath of one of the most traumatic events in recent American history.
We start now with a story that has incredible drama. It is potentially so over-the-top and crazy and involves elements of betrayal so massive.
Now a writer on the long-running medical drama, Grey's Anatomy is under investigation for allegedly fabricating her medical history. In my mind, I would want to say to her, like, what the fuck? Vanessa and I sat down with the woman who unearthed the story, filmmaker and journalist Evgenia Peretz.
Thanks so much to Evgenia Peretz for being on Infamous this week, a wonderful Vanity Fair writer. And she wrote a story in 2022 that I was absolutely obsessed with. And now the world is obsessed with it as well. It actually has some similarities to Scamanda, I think. So it's about this woman, Elizabeth Finch.
She was a Grey's Anatomy writer, and she was accused of making up huge swaths of her life. In a really twisted and fascinating way. After, again, you wrote that story, she went and co-directed a documentary about Elizabeth Finch called Anatomy of Lies, which is out now on Peacock, so you can watch it.
It's a story not only about this one woman who seems to have lied about so many things to get ahead in her career, but also about how our society values trauma and personal narratives and so much more. So welcome, Evgenia, to Infamous. Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
