Amy Griffin, a wealthy woman and board member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, authored a memoir titled 'The Tell' based on recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse. The book gained significant attention after being promoted by high-profile celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Jenna Bush Hager. Oprah selected 'The Tell' as her 112th book club pick, leading to a large promotional event at the Ford Foundation in Manhattan, where Griffin appeared with celebrity supporters. The memoir's popularity soared, supported by celebrity endorsements and media coverage. However, questions have since arisen regarding the content of the book, particularly its claims involving psychedelic drugs and recovered memories, raising concerns about the accuracy and implications of Griffin's narrative. The controversy highlights issues of celebrity influence, mental health, and the reliability of memoirs based on traumatic memories.
