“I will always be one of the biggest fans of Grey’s Anatomy,” according to a statement from Deadline. “I liked the show from day one and I had the honor to write about it from the 11th season. The proudest moment of my career was watching rape survivors receive the episode “Silent All These Years”. Gray’s Anatomy is a generous, brilliant family. As difficult as it may be to spend some time right now, I know it is more important to focus on my own family and my health. “I am very grateful to Disney, ABC and Shondaland for allowing me to do this and for supporting me in this very difficult time.” Earlier this month, The Ankler challenged Finch’s medical history and some of her previous claims, such as how she was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, how she lost a kidney and part of her leg but was later misdiagnosed and how had been verbally and sexually abused by a male director while writing for The Vampire Diaries. The Los Angeles-based law firm Lavely & Singer, which represents Finch, said that “Ms. Finch will not disclose her personal health issues. “Likewise, she will not talk about her pending divorce from her estranged husband, Jennifer Beyer, nor will she comment on any statements that Mrs Beyer may have made to others about Mrs Finch.” In addition to writing for Grey’s, Finch was a prolific freelancer who shared her personal medical stories with stores such as Elle, The Hollywood Reporter, and Shondaland. Her previous titles include Vampire Diaries, No Ordinary Family and True Blood. She joined Grey’s Anatomy in 2015.
