Former Grey's Anatomy Writer Solicits Donations Amid LA Fires

Elisabeth Finch, a former writer for Grey's Anatomy, has faced backlash for attempting to fundraise for wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles after previously lying about having cancer. Finch solicited donations via her Venmo account, claiming to provide for evacuees and their pets, but her actions drew severe criticism from colleagues, particularly producer Jamie Denbo, who labeled her a 'SCAMMER and a LIAR' on social media. Denbo highlighted Finch's history of fabricating a cancer diagnosis and other falsehoods, which were detailed in the documentary series 'Anatomy of Lies.' In response to the backlash, Finch acknowledged her troubled past and insisted her intentions were to help her community in a time of need. Despite her attempt to make amends, many remain skeptical of her motives. The controversy has reignited discussions about Finch's past deception and its impact on those affected by her actions.
