22:50Now PlayingBilly breaks down the escalating legal battle between author Amy Griffin and Jolene Altum, known as Jane Doe, the woman who alleges Griffin appropriated her story of abuse for Griffin's memoir.
Billy walks through the dueling lawsuits — Griffin's anti-SLAPP motion and federal defamation suit, Altum's opposition and corroborating declarations — and asks how two accounts can be this specific and this different at the same time.
Billy also examines the role of ghostwriter Sam Lansky, shares some opinion on Penguin's anti-SLAPP motion and asks why Amy isn't suing the New York Times?
Topics include:
Amy Griffin and Jolene Altom's dueling lawsuits
