really annoying me...

I suspect the second is simply using the False Allegations Industry to sell loads of copies of her book; clearly a work of fiction politely pretending to be factual but someone who was obviously a one-or-more night shag declares she was "the love of the life" of a dead man (who happens to have been one of my favourite ever writers). Fortunately the real love of his life, his wife Jane, is also dead, so no law suits bit lots of publicity (and MONEY).
The other may well have been genuinely persuaded that a man who clearly simply tried to cheer up a sick girl was the pervert described by media (which he clearly wasn't) by adapting her - at the time - perfectly pleasant and happy experience into a "wasn't I lucky to escape" hook for a story to sell copies of a new book. And make more MONEY.

These people disgust me far more than the imaginary perverts.
