"This is problematic for me. Clive has taken the high road in this, Kelly hasn't ... I think she was being exactly how she was portrayed in the book. If you read that chapter, which is really one of the best chapters in the book, you would not have been surprised by her outbursts. It seemed entirely in character. As far as the accuracy about that chapter, I can say this -- Clive took such pains to make sure the accuracy was vetted. I think Clive understood what the impact of it might be. Everybody that he could get to that was involved in it did an advanced read. He would come back to me and say, 'We need to change this.' It went through a rigorous fact-checking process. So the idea that there are misrepresentations in there, it is very hard for me to find any truth to that."
