‘Grey’s Anatomy’ stars react to writer who faked her own cancer: ‘Never occurred to me to not believe her’

the former writer for the show who faked having cancer. Finch’s story was recently explored in the Peacock docuseries “Anatomy of Lies,” which addressed her web of lies that caused her to get fired from “Grey’s” after working as both a writer and a producer from 2014 to 2022.Jessica Capshaw and Camilla Luddington, who play Arizona Robbins and Jo Wilson on the series, respectively, addressed the documentary on Monday’s episode of their “Call It What It Is” podcast.“It never occurred to me to not believe her,” said Capshaw, 48. “The things that she lied about, you could never in a million years imagine questioning.”Luddington, 40, asked Capshaw about not being completely “surprised” that Finch was lying about her cancer diagnosis.“It’s so hard to explain,” Capshaw began. “Of course I was surprised that she wasn’t who she really said she was, and she was not reporting any experiences that were actually hers.

But I wasn’t surprised that someone could do that. And I sort of just felt like, ‘Oh, well, she was really good at that because I believed her.'”“But again, I was not sitting in the seat of the woman who she married and represented a completely different life to,” Capshaw added. “That feels like a movie.”Luddington declined to talk about her personal experience with Finch on the set of the long-running ABC show, but she did share a story involving Finch that she’s never told before.“I remember going to Hawaii for the first time, and I was so excited that I could afford going to Hawaii.

I was never able to afford something so tropical and glamorous. And I told everybody that I was going to Kauai, and I was really excited.
