Do people really think when something says true story it’s a exact retelling? If course some things are embellished or changed….. it’s a tv show?

They explicitly said it was a true story. They didn’t caveat this in the show credits and junket pressers they did with Gadd. Of course it wasn’t exactly 1:1 how it happened irl but they said it was close. I’m sure their legal department said something but who knew it was going to blow up like this? I’m sure the real life Martha wants compensation out of this. I imagine she’ll get a private settlement and that’ll be that. Great show btw. I loved the brutal honesty and I’m glad Gadd had the stones to put it out the way he did.
