'Grey's Anatomy' Writer Who Faked Cancer Defends Seeking Donations During LA Wildfires
HuffPost
Finch, who was previously exposed for pretending to have cancer, is getting slammed on social media for seeking donations amid the ongoing wildfires.
Former “Grey’s Anatomy” writer Elisabeth Finch, whose years-long cancer hoax was chronicled in the 2024 documentary series “Anatomy of Lies,” is getting slammed on social media for soliciting donations amid the ongoing wildfires in Southern California.
Finch apparently urged people to donate money to her, presumably to help wildfire victims, via Venmo, Zelle and Facebook. But she deleted the post after Jamie Denbo — a co-executive producer on “Grey’s Anatomy” — shared a screenshot and warned users not to trust her.
“This is just me. Boots on the ground,” Finch apparently wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post. “It was challenging enough getting dog food while being evacuated and I was at a safe place. So this is for people who have virtually nothing and also have pets with basic needs.”
Denbo rang the proverbial alarm Thursday in a Facebook post of her own to inform users that Finch “is a SCAMMER and a LIAR,” noting that her past cancer fabrication and false claim that her brother took his own life were “well documented” in the 2024 documentary series.
“Unless you want to send her donations of 69 cents for her ‘cancer treatment’ (she doesn’t have cancer) or perhaps ‘in memory of her late brother’ (he’s alive) or anything else she has lied about (everything),” Denbo continued, “DO NOT DONATE to Elisabeth Finch!!”
