The jig is up!
You can run, James Frey, but you can’t hide.
The website The Smoking Gun has exposed the best-selling author — whose candid, supposedly non-fiction memoir moved Oprah so much she included it in her revered Book Club — as a fraud, and that his “A Million Little Pieces” is nothing more than a pack of lies and fabrications. 
A self-proclaimed alcoholic, drug addict and criminal, Frey depicts in startling detail his “vomit-caked years” before finally seeing the light and cleaning up his act. From being wanted in three states and spending months in jail, to beating a priest so severely that he suspects he might have killed him, Frey’s stories are nothing more than embellishment and fiction, according to TSG, which says it spent six weeks researching his claims of lawlessness.
“When TSG confronted him Friday (1/6) afternoon with our findings, Frey refused to address the significant conflicts we discovered between his published accounts and those contained in various police reports. When we suggested that he might owe millions of readers and Winfrey fans an explanation for these discrepancies, Frey, now a publishing powerhouse, replied, ‘There’s nothing at this point can come out of this conversation that, that is good for me.’”
Sounds incriminating to me. But if the old adage “There’s no such thing as bad press” applies, Frey should see sales of his book skyrocket from this controversy.
