Lori Drew Knew
Posted by Karoli in News, Parenting, Web April 2nd, 2008
Ashley Grills was always the silent player in the Megan Meier story. An ‘employee’ of Lori Drew, she was conveniently hospitalized when the story blew up on the Internet last year and unavailable for comment. Yesterday, she was interviewed on Good Morning America. Per Wired:
But this morning Grills, in an interview with Good Morning America, disclosed that she and Lori Drew’s daughter created the account with Lori Drew’s approval, and that Drew actively participated in the ruse by writing some of the messages that Megan Meier received on her MySpace page.
Drew, of course, denies it, standing by their December statement that she did not create or direct anyone to create the Josh Evans MySpace account.
Other quotes from the interview:
Grills admitted for the first time publicly that she created the profile of Josh Evans, and she told Roberts that she wrote the cruel words, “the world would be a better place without you,” that may have pushed Meier over the edge.
Grills said that she was trying to end the “relationship” because she felt that the joke had gone too far.
The reason I believe Ashley Grills is telling the truth: because she didn’t try to hide the fact that the original idea to create the MySpace account was hers, not Lori Drew’s. However, Drew approved it and ultimately tried to cover it up.
“She was wanting to meet him … and me and Lori’s daughter were both telling Lori that we thought it was going too far ’cause none of us can meet her, none of us are guys,” Grills said.
“And she [Lori Drew] was like, it’s fine, you know, we can set her up. We can have her go meet him at the mall and go there and just laugh at her, and I thought that was wrong,” Grills continued.
I stand by what I said before: Lori Drew had the option to stand up and put an end to all of this honestly and forthrightly. Instead she chose the coward’s way out, and ultimately, Megan Meier went into the closet, crafted a noose, and hung herself with it. She chose that pathway even though she knew that Megan was depressed and maybe suicidal. That knowledge, combined with her tacit approval and coverup of the stupidity that was Josh Evans should have merited consequences instead of the lame outcomes she got in Missouri.
The Los Angeles DA’s office is still investigating and pressing forward with the possibility of charging Drew with fraud. It would at least be a small way to tip the scales back, even though Drew’s choice to behave like a child resulted in the death of a child.
