The $405 Lie: How a Fallen TV Writer Exposed His Own Psychopathy
Hollywood screenwriter Christopher Ambrose, once a rising name behind Bones, fell from grace after a plagiarism scandal. Back in Connecticut with millions in assets but no job, he weaponized “parental alienation” to strip his ex-wife of their children. Psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee later diagnosed him as exhibiting “full-blown psychopathy,” warning of his danger. Ambrose’s response? Sue her—then lie under oath to save $405 in filing fees. His deceit-filled affidavit exposed everything: hidden wealth, fake hardship, and government benefits he’d already been collecting. In trying to prove he wasn’t a psychopath, Ambrose proved Dr. Lee right—in writing.
