Former Grey's Anatomy writer, Elisabeth Finch, has decided to set the record straight. With the premiere of the documentary, Anatomy of Lives, on Peacock, many questions have been raised about her time on the ABC series and the lies she told. The docuseries, based on a Vanity Fair article, features interviews with people close to Finch, some speaking publicly for the first time.

Finch took to Instagram to apologize for her actions. She admitted to deceiving people, causing real-life heartache. She feels her apology is small compared to her actions, but it's sincere. Finch expressed remorse for hurting her family, friends, and colleagues.

Finch is known for penning the 2019 episode "Silent All These Years," which highlights the story of a rape victim. That same year, she left Grey's Anatomy following revelations about her behavior behind the scenes. She admitted to lying about her medical history and experiencing abuse while working on another show.

Some might wonder why Finch acted this way. In a 2022 interview, she shared that her lies were a coping mechanism for dealing with past trauma. Like some people turn to alcohol or drugs, she chose to lie as a way to feel safe and heard.

The documentary, directed by Evgenia Peretz and David Schisgall, is produced by Vanity Fair Studios and others. It promises to shine a light on Finch's rise and fall.
