James Frey Comes Clean?


Bathtime Reading
Originally uploaded by melodrama.ca.

The New York Times is reporting that James Frey is including a note in all future copies of his memoir that admits that he fudged facts in order give the story a better dramatic arc.

He admits that he was wrong to do it, but claims he did it to help him cope.

All this, and his agent dropped him as well.

You're not so tough without your "memoir" and fancy representation, are you, Mr. Frey?

Nice to see I am not the only one who thinks Frey should be punched in the snotbox. =)

I guess, I'm not surpised that a drug addict turned writer doesn't remember everything and made stuff up.

I don't buy the "poor poor Opera" routine that's she's been shoveling left and right. I think she's a bit to powerful and influential to be pulling the victim card.
