An apology and notes from both the author and the publisher about the controversy were added to subsequent editions of A Million Little Pieces. After the truth about his "memoir" came to light, Winfrey insisted Frey return to her show where she confronted him about the deception. In 2005, Frey's book was selected for Oprah Winfrey's high-profile book club on her syndicated talk show, and Frey appeared on her show in conjunction with the selection.
At least sixteen lawsuits were filed against Frey and his publisher in the wake of the revelations.
More liberties with the truth came to light as others began to investigate the book and its author.
Originally published as a memoir in 2003, it was revealed on the website The Smoking Gun in January 2006 that some of the events of the book had been fictionalized, while others had been exaggerated or were altogether fabricated. James Frey's book A Million Little Pieces caused a scandal in 2006.
