Necessary vgw group void where prohibited by law. CTNCs21 plus, we have now got to update you on this unbelievable Amy Griffin controversy. I realize nobody knows who Amy Griffin is. That's apparently one of her objections. I think that's why she wrote this book. I mean, look, here's the background. She is very, very rich. She's married to, like, literally, the richest man in New York, hedge fund manager John Griffin. And he's got some $6 billion. She. She's. I'm just gonna be honest. She. She gives Meghan Markle vibes. She founder, you know, she's like. She. She put all this money into businesses that are already successful, like Gwyneth's Goop, Sarah Blakely's Spanx, Reese Witherspoon's Happy Sunshine. Like, they didn't need Amy Griffin. None of those women needed Amy Griffin in order to succeed in their businesses. But she's taken her husband's money and she's invested in these things, and now she's founder. Founder and, you know, an investor in her own right. Okay. I mean, sure, it's fine. She's got four children. As I said, I've known her loosely, and I never had any problem with her. She's always very nice to me. However, this whole mess around this book is absolutely unbelievable. And I don't know, I'll tell you up front, I don't know who's telling the truth. The lawyer for the One Gal, Jolene, is going to be here in a minute. We invited Amy's lawyer. Actually, we were going to have both lawyer teams come on this show and have a debate not long ago. And then they had a court hearing and they said they couldn't. And then Amy's team went dark on us. Jolene's lawyer's still here. He's coming. Amy's lawyer is not. But they have given us a statement which I will read when we get to that. But here's the story. Amy Griffin, in my view, was not satisfied with being a very, very, very rich person who was on the board of the Met and all the other fancy things she had and all the celebrity, you know, friends she had. She, I believe, wanted celebrity for herself. She wanted to feel special herself. And so she wrote this book called the Tell in March of2025, which was allegedly a memoir. In the book, she claims that she was raped and sexually assaulted by a teacher back in Amarillo, Texas, when she was in middle school, whom she calls Mr. Mason, which is a pseudonymous.
