Billy Bush is inviting Amy Griffin, author of the memoir The Tell, onto Hot Mics for a conversation.

I know what it's like to feel under attack, pilloried by the press. I perpetrated no evil and still had to disappear from my own self-preservation in life. So, look, I do not enjoy Amy's spectacular implosion here. I see actually a path for Amy. If she'll maybe come see me, maybe talk about it right here, just like total honesty, transparency, just lift up the curtain to people and let's just talk about what happened. I think she is a victim, but not of what she based her book on. Her facilitators, integrationists, publishing company, husband, fancy friends. I mean, who had her back enough to say, whoa, sit with this, flesh it out, corroborate before you devastate so many lives? The thirst was too much.
