I can’t for the life of me find the original thread we had on this story to resurrect it, but I do recall very well that several of us (including me) expressed scepticism about the story, so thought it worth posting this rather fascinating interview.
A lot of us were sceptical because she behaved so much like someone seeking fame, money and attention, rather than like someone who had been through a horrific ordeal. I guess the lesson is that the two are not mutually exclusive! You can be seeking to earn fame and fortune *and* really have been through a horrible ordeal at the hands of someone who - by the sounds of it - is probably himself delusional and has sucked you in to his fantasies.
Truth is stranger than fiction - real life isn’t *required* to make sense the way fiction is.
