“This is just me. Boots on the ground. It was quite a challenge to get dog food during the evacuation and I was in a safe place,” read Finch’s alleged post, which has been circulating on social media. “So this is for people who have basically nothing and have pets with basic needs.”
Actress Jamie Denbo Finch called out share a screenshot on Thursday, Jan. 16 at her request, adding, “This person is a SCAMMER and a LIAR. It is well documented in the Peacock Anatomy of Lies series. Unless you want to send her 69 cent donations for her “cancer treatment” (she doesn’t have cancer) or maybe “in memory of her late brother” (he’s alive) or whatever else she lied about (everything). DO NOT DONATE Elisabeth Finch!!!”
Hours after the latest drama hit the headlines, Finch released a statement The Hollywood Reporter O her good intentions.
“I recognize that given my history, people may be skeptical of my fundraising efforts,” she told the paper. “I try to make amends in as many ways as possible, including helping my community – especially during these difficult times. So many organizations are calling for gift cards because they are overwhelmed with physical donations, and I didn’t want people’s pet needs to get lost in the shuffle.”
Meanwhile, Denbo answered The Hollywood Reporter with a text message. “Elisabeth continues to cheat, deceive and produce incredible material that comedians like myself can relentlessly exploit and mock her,” she added. “I can’t thank her enough! (Just for the last thing.) Go on, Finch!’

“I haven’t given anyone reason to believe a word I say. I lied so much about it that so many people were destroyed in real life. ‘I’m sorry’ feels like the smallest of words compared to what I’ve done, and yet it’s the truest,” Finch wrote on Instagram in October 2024 after Peacock released her three-part docuseries about her scandal. “I trapped myself in an addiction to lies, betrayed and traumatized my closest family, friends and colleagues.

“I make amends and express my sincere regret as best I can when people are ready. And I accepted the fact that some may never be,” she noted. “I’ve been in mental health treatment for almost three years now and I work hard every day to maintain a life where the truth matters more than anything else.”
