Bestselling memoir author Amy Griffin sued a former classmate for defamation Monday, accusing the woman of falsely claiming Griffin stole her story of sexual abuse and used it as the foundation for Griffin's 2025 memoir, The Tell.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Nevada, alleges the former classmate falsely portrayed Griffin as "a fraud and a thief" in comments published by The New York Times and in a separate lawsuit filed earlier this year.
