JT Leroy: Dead to Us
September 29, 2006
Old news, yes. But the chick behind the fraud is talking. And she should shut up.
For those who have forgotten (and we don’t blame you), JT Leroy was the queer, drag, druggie hustler who’s mom pimped him out as a kid. He grew up and wrote a few books about the experience.
Queer audiences flocked to him. Gay icons loved him. Gus van Sant, Sandra Bernhard … they all supported his two books: ''Sarah'' and ''The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things,'' which was made into a film. We were touched by and had honest sympathy for JT. Not because he was a good character, but because he was a real person.
Oh, but then it turned out that he's not real. He's actually some horrible shrew named Laura Albert.
Yes, the old hag who made up the character of JT Leroy says in an article in The Paris Review's fall issue, that she invented the character in therapy. Her psychiatrist encouraged her to write down her stories.
Well, bully for her! While she's at it, we wonder if she could be any more flip about her subject matter?
