The new Peacock documentary series, “Anatomy of Lies,” will tell the story of Elisabeth Finch, a writer for “Grey’s Anatomy” who pretended to have cancer for eight years.
In the promotional material for the series, Andy Reaser, a writer, producer, and former colleague of Finch, shares how he felt deceived and betrayed after discovering the truth.
“She would come to work with a shaved head and a greenish complexion. She looked like she had been living in a microwave. She was eating these saltine crackers and drinking ginger ale, going to the bathroom to take breaks to vomit because of the chemo,” he recounted.
Finch joined the Emmy-winning series as a writer in 2014. In 2022, she told Vanity Fair that she had survived a rare type of bone cancer and had suffered abuse from a male director on “The Vampire Diaries.”
She admitted to her lies in an interview with The Ankler, a Hollywood newsletter. “I know it’s absolutely wrong what I did. I lied, and there’s no excuse for that,” she confessed.
The documentary series “Anatomy of Lies” premieres on October 15 on the Peacock streaming platform and will be divided into three parts.
