Last week, news broke that Amy Griffin, author of the 2025 New York Times bestselling memoir \u201cThe Tell,\u201d had filed a lawsuit against the anonymous former classmate who, last March, sued Griffin, alleging that several of the anecdotes in the book \u2014 which details a horrific experience of childhood rape and sexual abuse \u2014 were not Griffin\u2019s, but her own. Griffin\u2019s countersuit claims that the classmate\u2019s lawsuit characterizes her as \u201ca fraud and a thief.\u201d This isn\u2019t the kind of delicious, schadenfreude-dipped publishing-world drama about a bad art friend that other writers love to deconstruct in group texts. It\u2019s a dispiriting legal battle in which two women who likely suffered profound sexual trauma are publicly battling, one with a focus on preserving both her reputation and her business interests, and the other with almost nothing on her side, including, thanks to Griffin\u2019s countersuit, anonymity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Tell\u201d is about a woman who is by every possible measure successful, trying to understand what unseen force is holding her apart from an otherwise beautiful life \u2014 impacting her marriage, alienating her children and causing panic attacks. On the encouragement of her equally successful, equally blessed husband, Griffin agrees to try therapeutic MDMA. A former star student and long-distance runner from a prominent family in Amarillo, Texas, Griffin goes into her first session with a competitor\u2019s single-minded determination to, as she writes, \u201cget to the finish line.\u201d<\/p>\n

It takes almost no time for the drug to unearth memories of habitual sexual abuse by a teacher at her middle school that began when Griffin was 12 and continued until she was 16. Her confidence in the memories she recovers (\u201cMy body knew what had happened to me. The way I\u2019d shake when I\u2019d tell my story; the way my eyes welled up with tears at the mention of Texas\u201d) sets her on a relentless trajectory of seeking legal and emotional redress.<\/p>\n

I listened to \u201cThe Tell\u201d on audiobook knowing very little about it. I didn\u2019t know that Griffin is married to a billionaire former hedge-fund founder, or that she\u2019s on the Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s Board of Trustees, or that her own venture-capital firm, G9, has made her a billionaire in her own right. I didn\u2019t see the seals of approval from America\u2019s trio of book-club heavies \u2014 Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Jenna Bush Hager \u2014 on its cover. I didn\u2019t read the glowing blurbs for a first-time author from Gwyneth Paltrow, Gloria Steinem, Chanel Miller and Mariska Hargitay. I didn\u2019t know that the book wasn\u2019t written so much as it was built by a prominent ghostwriter, a cadre of well-placed friends and colleagues, and a publishing industry that\u2019s made billions of dollars from trauma memoirs by women.<\/p>\n

Those things weren\u2019t important to know in order to be moved by Griffin\u2019s tale of how a lifelong quest for perfection set her mind and body against one another with devastating results. But both Griffin\u2019s stature and her story had readers asking questions even before the book was published in March 2025. The first sign of trouble came in a New York Times investigation titled \u201cThe Billionaire, the Psychedelics, and the Best-Selling Memoir.\u201d The piece drilled down on key information missing from the book; reporters Katherine Rosman and Elisabeth Egan visited Amarillo, where doubts about the book\u2019s veracity were stoked by the absence of other survivors coming forward to either corroborate Griffin\u2019s accounts or share their own. The piece questioned why the memories Griffin recovered in the course of using illegal psychedelic drugs were so readily accepted by institutions, like law enforcement and book publishing, that would normally proceed more cautiously.<\/p>\n

Most strikingly, the piece noted that a former classmate of Griffin\u2019s, who features prominently in the book under a pseudonym, was \u201cdeeply unnerved\u201d by descriptions of rape that were \u201ceerily similar to the abuse she herself endured.\u201d The classmate had been contacted several years earlier by someone claiming to be a talent agent, and she recognized in \u201cThe Tell\u201d details she had shared with the alleged agent. In March 2026, the classmate filed a civil lawsuit naming Griffin, ghostwriter Sam Lansky and the book\u2019s publisher, alleging invasion of privacy, negligence and infliction of emotional distress.<\/p>\n

The book wasn\u2019t written so much as it was built by a prominent ghostwriter, a cadre of well-placed friends and colleagues, and a publishing industry that\u2019s made billions of dollars from trauma memoirs by women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe Tell\u201d is not a fabrication; those who have read it agree that something very traumatic happened to Griffin, and that her brain locked it away as a protective measure. But researchers and practitioners of psychedelic medicine suspect that Griffin\u2019s inexperience with psychedelics and use of an unlicensed facilitator may have led to a consequential lack of integration, a process in which facilitator and patient sort through the experience, interrogating symbolism and considering what information brought forth by the medicine is useful.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPsychedelics are meaning-making medicines,\u201d says Dr. Julie Holland, a psychiatrist and psychopharmacologist whose 2020 book \u201cGood Chemistry: The Science of Connection from Soul to Psychedelics\u201d explored, among other mental-health interventions, the efficacy of psychedelic-assisted therapy. \u201cThey make things seem more meaningful than perhaps they are.\u201d Integration, she emphasizes, is crucial to psychedelic therapy. \u201cYou really need somebody on the other side of the trip to hold your hand and make sense of what you figured out, [and] to say, \u2018OK, you had this experience. What are you going to do with this information?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The New York Times reported that Griffin and her husband, John, have donated an estimated $1 million to the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), arguably the biggest name in psychedelics research; they are clearly bullish on the future of MDMA, psilocybin, and other mind-expanding drugs. This makes it difficult to understand why the couple, who would presumably have access to therapists trained in psychedelic medicine, instead worked with a facilitator named Olivia who, when Griffin asks after her credentials, laughs and says, \u201cA lot<\/em> of experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olivia looks, Griffin writes, \u201clike the divine feminine incarnate \u2014 elegant, with long, wild auburn hair, porcelain skin, and a cotton sundress . . . She\u2019d been in the psychedelic movement for decades, and she was gentle and knowledgeable as she explained her work.\u201d But how would Griffin (who describes her only drug use as a single hit of weed that, she\u2019s careful to point out, \u201cI didn\u2019t inhale\u201d) know what knowledgeable looked like in this unfamiliar context? Similarly, Olivia\u2019s description of a facilitated MDMA trip as \u201ca day with yourself, with the you that you\u2019ve forgotten\u201d would almost definitely raise red flags for trained practitioners. But for Griffin, this New Age Page-A-Day calendar patter sounds \u201clike poetry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Griffin\u2019s complaint calls her former classmate\u2019s allegations of theft false and asserts that \u201cfinancial damages [will] be determined at trial.\u201d And though the suit doesn\u2019t name the classmate, her name has now leaked via court documents, furthering an already pronounced imbalance of power.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Olivia\u2019s role in Griffin\u2019s therapy is one of two big pieces missing from \u201cThe Tell.\u201d In Griffin\u2019s own account, she ended her first MDMA session by pulling off her eyeshade and asking Olivia to go get John, to whom she says, \u201cI was abused by a teacher as a child.\u201d There\u2019s no mention of taking a beat to process with Olivia; John simply leads Griffin to their bedroom and tucks her in.<\/p>\n

In what appears to be the only comprehensive query of Olivia\u2019s possible ethical lapses, Jules Evans, founder of the Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project (CPEP), writes that \u201ctherapists\u2019 professional codes of ethics warn [them] not to socialize with clients, not to give them expensive gifts, not to become . . . \u2018trusted friends.\u2019\u201d The Griffins\u2019 relationship with Olivia blew right past all those guidelines, and not just because she wasn\u2019t a therapist. Extremely wealthy people regularly bend rules and hand-wave ethical standards to get what they want as soon as they want it, and those who work with and for them aren\u2019t in the position to advise pumping the brakes. Everything Griffin writes suggests that she and her husband chose Olivia based on her glamour and not her track record \u2014 was she really going to tell Griffin that a drug she\u2019d never used before, which seemed to explain everything she needed to know, shouldn\u2019t be treated as a faultless oracle?<\/p>\n

A story like Griffin\u2019s is a source of concern for Dr. Samuli Kangaslampi, a researcher whose work at Finland\u2019s Tampere University focuses on psychedelics and memory. Speaking at 2025\u2019s 3rd Finnish Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelics, Dr. Kangaslampi laid out the 6 open questions that should drive future studies of psychedelics and memory experiences, particularly the recall of traumatic events. Dr. Kangaslampi mentions \u201cThe Tell\u201d only in passing, but his entreaty (\u201cPlease, let\u2019s not start doing psychedelic-assisted recovered-memory therapy\u201d), along with his assertion that, \u201cThere is no benevolent plant spirit or inherent intelligence in psychedelics that guarantees that what we\u2019ve experienced is real. It\u2019s not like that,\u201d suggests that the drama around the book\u00a0 hasn\u2019t been great news for researchers.<\/p>\n

The high-profile (and later discredited) role of recovered memory during the Satanic Panic of the 1980s left the phenomenon with a reputation as the sensationalist gambit of crackpot doctors. But it\u2019s not quite that simple, Holland says. \u201cI think most psychiatrists very much err on the side of believing victims. The last thing you want to do, especially with sexual abuse against kids, is doubt a victim report. What\u2019s more important than even what actually happens [in] an assault is whether they are believed.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is both crucial and ironic in Griffin\u2019s case, given that her legal strategy rests on the expectation that some victims are credible and some aren\u2019t. After Rosman and Egan noted the similarities between the two women\u2019s experiences, Griffin\u2019s lawyer told the reporters that they had been \u201cduped by a fabulist.\u201d Griffin and her lawyer also refused to answer any of the questions sent to them for fact-checking purposes, replying instead that \u201c[T]he mere sending of this document has caused additional trauma and extreme physical and emotional harm to a survivor of sexual assault, which is inexcusable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Griffin\u2019s countersuit calls her former classmate\u2019s allegations of theft false and asserts that \u201cfinancial damages [will] be determined at trial.\u201d The former Jane Doe\u2019s name has now leaked via court documents, furthering an already pronounced imbalance of power. Griffin has the money, the access, the celebrity connections, and the book industry backing necessary to bury her classmate\u2019s charges.<\/p>\n

But she also has something to lose, and this is the second big piece missing from \u201cThe Tell.\u201d Though Griffin mentions her husband\u2019s interest in funding psychedelics research early in the book, she doesn\u2019t mention their association with Resilient Pharmaceuticals, the for-profit company that was spun off as the corporate arm of MAPS with the intention of selling legal MDMA once the drug is FDA approved. (Jules Evans has characterized the Griffins as \u201cshareholders\u201d in Resilient, an assertion repeated in more granular coverage of the legal backstory, but one I\u2019ve been unable to verify.) Listening to the book, it\u2019s hard to ignore the passages that sound like an infomercial for therapeutic MDMA; knowing that the Griffins are invested in its legalization and sale explain why.<\/p>\n

Griffin\u2019s financial interests elsewhere have also not been transparent. The outsized promotional push for \u201cThe Tell\u201d was facilitated by high-profile women like Paltrow and Spanx founder Sara Blakely, who joined Griffin at book events and chatted with her on podcasts but didn\u2019t disclose the author\u2019s investment in their businesses. The A-listers name-checked in Griffin\u2019s book proposal as potential hype women \u2014 more than 90, according to Rosman and Egan, from Laura Dern and Naomi Watts to Anna Wintour and Katie Couric\u00a0 \u2014 were catnip to publishers. They\u2019ve been scarce since the book\u2019s legal troubles began, but having dozens of marquee names who can be called on to circle the wagons is one more example of the power Griffin holds relative to her former classmate.<\/p>\n

Psychedelics, says Kangaslampi, \u201cenhance suggestibility, sense of salience, significance, familiarity and certainty of knowing.\u201d The professionals who have weighed in on \u201cThe Tell\u201d don\u2019t doubt that Griffin\u2019s reactions to her resurfaced memories are real. But they also emphasize that a trauma response isn\u2019t necessarily confirmation of a memory\u2019s accuracy. \u201cA lot of the time we can say, you know, \u2018It doesn\u2019t matter if the memory is true or not if it\u2019s useful, if it\u2019s therapeutic,\u201d says Kangaslampi. But in cases of recalled trauma, he stresses, \u201cIt makes a huge difference whether that memory is true or not.\u201d<\/p>\n
