Elisabeth Finch was recently in the news after Disney Television Studios started an inquiry into the prolific writer’s previous claims about her illnesses and history of abuse, which she claimed served as inspiration for many episodes of ABC’s long-running drama Grey’s Anatomy.
The writer and producer is suspected of lying about or exaggerating a number of health-related allegations, including a rare type of bone cancer, the amputation of a limb, and knee replacement surgery, all of which she says inspired screenplays for many Grey’s Anatomy episodes.
She is currently on administrative leave while the studio undertakes an internal inquiry into previous accusations made in the past.
