Elisabeth Finch's wife Jennifer Beyer is telling her side of the former Grey's Anatomy writer's rise and fall in Peacock's new docuseries, Anatomy of Lies. The three-part series charts the stunning rise and even more stunning fall of Elisabeth Finch, the TV writer who mined her cancer battle and other traumas for material, mostly in her job on Grey's Anatomy. But Finch never had cancer, and her myriad falsehoods were exposed by her own wife, Jennifer Beyer. Here's what to know about her.
Beyer and Finch met at a treatment facility
In 2019, Finch, claiming to have suffered childhood abuse by her brother, checked herself into an Arizona facility for women with a variety of issues and disorders. That's where she met Beyer, a registered nurse who was also a patient. At the time, Finch was already five years into her gig on Grey's Anatomy.
Beyer blew the whistle on Finch
After they were married, Elisabeth Finch's wife began discovering discrepancies in her stories. Beyer confronted Finch and demanded that she come clean, but Finch would not, and so, in February 2022, Beyer contacted her employer directly, getting ahold of Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes to tell her that she had a liar in her midst. Disney launched an investigation, and further reporting by Vanity Fair ended Finch's career once and for all.
Beyer's former mother-in-law has raised questions about her mental health and story of abuse
When the two women met, Beyer claimed she was escaping an abusive marriage to the father of her five children, who committed suicide as they were divorcing. However, Mary Beyer-Diebold, Beyer's ex-husband's mother, told The Ankler that Beyer dealt with dissociative episodes, and that her son, while mentally ill, was not abusive, though as the mother of the accused, she's not exactly an unbiased source. Beyer-Diebold also insinuated that Beyer, like her estranged wife, claimed to have suffered from illnesses that she apparently did not have.
