She says she confronted Anderson about their alienation from each other but he hung up on her when she cried. She adds that she fought off depression most of the year but realized that the two never were close. "Terry had never given me much of himself or his time," she writes. "His career was his life, then and now."
In her statement, Say said her unedited version made it clear there was ''not any failure on the part of Terry." She added that her purpose in writing "was to set to rest speculation that Terry was angry at me because he believed that publicity had prolonged his captivity. He did not believe that was the case."
Contacted at New York's Freedom Forum Media Studies Center where Anderson is a fellow, he said he hadn't read the article and refused comment.
