“Anybody who’s read my book that came out eight years ago and then read her book, tell me the narrative voice doesn’t sound exactly the same,” Madison said in a recent appearance on the LadyGang podcast. “Drives me up a wall.”

“I’m weirded out by it, especially since she had a ghostwriter,” Madison added. “Like, do your research and don’t copy.”
