There was already a thread a long thread but I can’t find it now.
There was lots of skepticism about Fierceton’s side of the story on DCUM as I recall. |

| Awful and shameful. |

| I was (and still remain) a big skeptic of the Fierceton side of the story. She comes off as a massive scam artist with a talent for self promotion. But it's worth noting that the NYer has the best fact checking in the business - it's legendary. Their description of Fierceton's childhood makes a pretty strong case that she grew up in a screwed up and abusive household. |

| The thread was deleted by the admin. On the grounds that no new information was being discussed. I take that to mean that posts on this subject will be deleted unless there is some new development in the case. |

| Penn couldn’t come across any worse than they did in that article. Nor her terrible mom! Regardless of whether one thinks Mackenzie unforgivably inflated her situation it’s clear that her household was terribly disturbed. |

| I haven’t read about this other than the New Yorker article. They are very sympathetic toward Fierceton. |
