6:46Now PlayingA new court filing in the legal battle surrounding Amy Griffin and *The Tell* has created another major question: How did the real name of the man Griffin identifies as “Mr. Mason” end up in a publicly available court exhibit?
Amy Griffin recently filed her opposition to Jolene Altum’s motion to strike her lawsuit under Nevada’s anti-SLAPP law. Included among Griffin’s exhibits was a New York Times fact-checking letter that contained identifying information for the man Griffin has accused of sexually abusing her as a child.
There was just one problem: the exhibit was filed publicly.
Days later, Griffin’s attorneys asked the federal court to seal the unredacted document, describing the disclosure as inadvertent and seeking permission to replace it with a redacted version.
Billy Bush breaks down exactly how it happened, what Griffin’s lawyers are now asking the court to do, and the bigger question surrounding the disclosure: Was this simply an embarrassing legal mistake — or could publicly identifying “Mr. Mason” have consequences nobody anticipated?
Plus, Amy Griffin’s recent tribute to Gloria Steinem draws a fierce response from critics following the ongoing controversy surrounding *The Tell*.
