Elisabeth Finch Exposed in Anatomy of Lies

Elisabeth Finch, a former writer for Grey's Anatomy, is at the center of a new Peacock docuseries, 'Anatomy of Lies,' which reveals her extensive fabrications about her medical history and personal life. Finch falsely claimed to have battled chondrosarcoma, a rare bone cancer, and made various other misleading statements, including experiences of trauma and loss. Her deceit was uncovered following a 2022 exposé by Vanity Fair, leading to her resignation from Grey's Anatomy and a temporary leave from the series. The docuseries features interviews with Finch's estranged wife, Jennifer Beyer, and former colleagues, offering insights into how Finch's lies impacted those around her. Finch later admitted her fabrications were coping mechanisms stemming from trauma, stating, 'I lied. That was my coping and my way to feel safe and seen and heard.' The three-part docuseries premiered on October 15, 2023, and aims to provide a cathartic platform for those affected by Finch's deceptions.
