Hoax's End

BREAKING: Geoffrey Knoop -- whose half-sister Savannah Knoop was revealed last month as the public face of "JT LeRoy" and whose girlfriend Laura Albert was the prime suspect as author of the JT LeRoy novels and hoax -- has come forward to confirm details of the hoax.

Knoop's confession included the detail that the controversy -- overshadowed by the James Frey imbroglio -- had broken up his 16-year relationship with Albert, and "If you're feeling more and more suffocated by the complications and lies, it's not worth it."
