Elisabeth Finch, the former “Grey’s Anatomy” writer whose personal and professional life imploded after she was revealed to be a compulsive liar, addressed Peacock’s docuseries on her downfall, saying Tuesday that “nothing erases the trauma I’ve caused.”

The “Anatomy of Lies” subject apologized in an Instagram post that revealed she’s “making amends and expressing my genuine remorse as best I can when people are ready,” and that she’s been seeking mental health treatment for “nearly three years” following the bombshell 2022 Vanity Fair exposé about her lies.

Many of her falsehoods inspired her acclaimed work as a writer and executive producer on “Grey’s Anatomy” — among them that she was living with a rare form of bone cancer.
