The real-life journalist portrayed in the upcoming Clint Eastwood film,"Richard Jewell," is being defended by her former colleagues and the newspaper where she worked, who say she is unfairly depicted in the movie as a woman who traded sex for stories.
Scruggs, who died in 2001, was working at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution when she broke a story that the FBI was investigating Jewell, a security guard who came under suspicion for orchestrating the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in 1996 after he spotted and reported a pipe bomb was that had been left in a bag near a large crowd. He was later exonerated and Eric Rudolph was identified as the bomber. Rudolph pleaded guilty and is now serving a life sentence.
