tl;dr If you don’t have time to read all of this, here’s some key bits
The core stories in this memoir are filled with untruths. The verified facts in this book are unrelated to the memoir or the author’s life.
For example, the author never worked as a model and did not adopt the nickname “Suki Jones” until after most of the events included in this story had already occurred. The author was not doing drugs or drinking during the time this book is about.
These examples were verified as untruths by court records that the author signed and dated. A choice quote from:
SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA. COUNTY OF ALAMEDA. 1/16/2001
“The petitioner’s (Susan’s) willingness to be untruthful and simply make up stories has me very concerned.”
Quick tip: the author became sober in 2000, the custody battle started after that in 2001. That is also when she changed her name to Suki. Anytime custody battle and drugs are mentioned together, you are looking at an untruth.
Her memoir is not true.
Why are we here?
A person who was close to Felix, the character in the book who is referred to as “Casper”, was concerned that Felix was being exploited by the author for personal gain.
How did we go about it?
In researching this book we contacted some of the people portrayed in it. Especially those with a made up name, as they obviously were not consulted on the book. The “character known as Dan” had a lot to say and was more than willing to debunk things, so we let him. It was actually more fun for us to read his versions of stories, as there were facts to verify. As a result of that, Dan was confirmed as a creditable source.
From “Dan”:
I was dating or married to “Suki” during the time when all of the events in her book happened. My comments below are from what I recall and things “Suki” said in court documents.
“Suki” was not doing drugs or drinking at that time.
Chapters
This is a chapter by chapter debunking of this book. Stories will be contested and then verified to find out who is making up untruth’s.
Podcasta
While we were working on this project, the author made appearances on some other people’s podcasts and articles. The author makes statements that conflict with the statements in both the book and in other podcasts.
For you fact checking fans… there are more fact checks in this page than the others.
Background
We asked the “character known as Dan” if he had anything else to say. He did, a lot of background, plus quotable’s like;
“She was never a model. Never made money modeling. At birth she was given the name Susan Nicholson. She went by Susie and then Susi and then Suzi until she was in her thirties when she decided she wanted to be called Suki.”
“There is no way she forgot her name or that she was never a working model. So, what else was a nontruth in this book?”
“Her dating other people without talking to me first is what you call cheating.”
