Well well well:
FOX NEWS – One of the women who accused Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of making advances on her when she was a teen and he a local prosecutor admitted Friday to writing part of the yearbook inscription she offered as proof, a new crack in her story that gives Moore an opening to attack her credibility.
Beverly Young Nelson told ABC News she added the date and place in the inscription in her high school yearbook that she and famed attorney Gloria Allred presented as proof the then-30-something Moore sought an inappropriate relationship with her in the late 1970s. Nelson still insisted that Moore wrote most of the message and signed the inscription, but said she made “notes” to it.
“Beverly, he did sign your yearbook?” ABC’s Tom Llamas asked her.
“He did sign it,” she said.
“And you made some notes underneath?” Llamas asked.
“Yes,” she replied.
During her original press conference with Allred in November, Nelson attributed the entire inscription to Moore. “He wrote in my yearbook as follows: ‘To a sweeter more beautiful girl, I could not say Merry Christmas, Christmas, 1977, Love, Roy Moore, Olde Hickory House. Roy Moore, DA,'” she said.
The latter part of the inscription after the signature reads: “12-22-77 Olde Hickory House.”
At the time, Nelson did not admit to writing the date and name of the restaurant herself. The implication was that it had been written by Moore.
Moore has denied signing the yearbook and said he did not know Nelson at the time. Moore, who went on to become a judge and then the chief justice of the Alabama State Supreme Court, later ruled against Nelson in a 1999 divorce case.
It’s unbelievable that she’d do that. And she expects us to still believe her now?
Nope. Not gonna happen. In fact I expect at some point in the future she’ll probably admit that she faked the whole thing.
Roy Moore responded to the news this way on Twitter:

Fox News has changed their story a little. Their earlier headline suggested that Beverly Young Nelson had ‘forged’ part of the entry. Now they are changing it:
An update to this story reflects that Beverly Young Nelson admits writing what ABC News characterized as “notes” beneath what she says is Roy Moore’s signature, and that the only notes below the signature are the date and location. Furthermore, the headline on story now specifies that Nelson admits to writing part of the inscription herself, rather than forging part of it.
I don’t think this changes much. She still attributed the entire inscription to Roy Moore in the beginning. Only now she admits she wrote the ‘notes’ underneath it.
