Faux Bro Update: "The jig is up."

Geoffrey Knoop has admitted that cult cross-dressing writer J.T. LeRoy isn't real; he/she was played in public by his half-sister, Savannah. The books were apparently written by Laura Albert, Knoop's common-law wife and co-founder of the San Francisco punk band Thistle. "The jig is up... I do want to apologize to people who were hurt. It got to a level I didn't expect." Knoop says that he doubts Laura Albert will ever admit to being J.T.: "For her, it's very personal. It's not a hoax. It's a part of her."

I'm confused. Was "he" Savannah or Laura?
