She said she lied because of a trauma.
Finch said one of the reasons why she lied was because of a trauma she claims to have endured when she was a child. The writer alleges that his brother was violent towards her. (Ankler noted that neither he nor their parents could be joined to comment.)
"I know it's absolutely bad what I did," said Finch. “I lied and there is no excuse for that. But there is context for this. The best way to explain it is when you feel a level of trauma, many people adopt an unsuitable adaptation mechanism. Some people drink to hide or forget things. The drug addicts are trying to modify their reality. Some people cut. I lied. It was my adaptation and my way of feeling safe and seen and heard. ""
She also said that a knee surgery had played a role.
Finch explained that she was also affected by knee replacement surgery after an injury in 2007.
"What ended up happening is that everyone was so incredible and so wonderful leading to all surgeries," said Finch. "They were so favorable. And then I suffered my replacement of the knee. It was a hell of a recovery period and then it was dead because everyone was like Yay! You are healed. But it was dead silent. And I had no support and I went back to my old unsuitable adaptation mechanism - I lied and I invented something because I needed support and attention and that's how I continued it. This is where this lie started - in this silence. ""
She said later in the interview: "I did not know the connective tissue between my brother and my medical trauma and my depression and the SSPT and anxiety."
The Ankler consulted Dr. Marc D. Feldman, Professor of psychiatry at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, who said facts surrounding the fall of Finch's grace, "this looks like a classic case of dummy disorder". According to Mayo Clinic, " Dummy disorder is a serious mental disorder in which someone deceives the others by seemingly sick, deliberately falling ill or by self-compliance. "The article does not indicate that Finch has even been officially diagnosed or treated for this disorder.
She wants to work again - and has another successful show in mind.
Finch hopes that she can one day work again as a television writer.
"I could only hope that the work I did will allow me to come back in these relationships where I can say:" Okay, I did that, I injured a lot of people and I will also work my [ Expletive] off because that's where I want to be and I know what it is to lose everything, "she said.
She offered The history of the servant Like his dream job because of his representation of "redemption" and "responsibility".
Former colleagues are not satisfied with the interview.
Some former finch colleagues have talked about the interview, which they find unpleasant. One said directly to the Ankler: "What she did is absolutely inadmissible but she has no conscience ... She does not deserve to have a voice."
Scriptwriter Carina Adly Mackenzie published several tweets on the profile of Finch and the lies told to him. "She says that she started the lie because after having healed her knee surgery, the friends who had taken care of her by her recovery were calmed, and she did not like it", "," Mackenzie tweeted . "So she never let her calm down again. Instead, we came to anxiety, guilt, trauma."
Vampire diarmes writer Matthew d'Ambrosio tweeted on the interview , "Once again, for the record, we all thought she was dying of cancer. Sorry if I don't buy a buyout dictated by her picturesque front porch of the Topanga canyon."
