The best thing that ever happened to
the liars behind the JT Leroy con was that
James Frey - a bigger, more Oprah-promoted writer, was exposed as an allegedly (Hi lawyers!) lying douchebag on the same day. Frey is definitely getting the lion's share of the press. He's also threatening to sue, which should prove endlessly entertaining, as he seems more worried about protecting his future movie deals than he does his reputation.
Here is the Smoking Gun's report (also linked below). And be sure to check out this hilarious photo of the desperado known as
the Chicken Pox Kid.
