Penny Furr was Kathy Scruggs’ roommate when the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter got a major scoop involving the investigation into the Centennial Olympic Park bombing. Scruggs had discovered that, the security guard who had evacuated the area before the bomb exploded, saving dozens of lives in the process, was a suspect in the attack.
Furr wants Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, to take out the scene that suggests that Scruggs slept with a source. Lewis Scruggs Jr., Kathy’s older brother, hasn’t seen “Richard Jewell,” but he says he hopes the filmmakers will do a better job of making it clear that the movie takes liberties with the facts.
“Kathy was a pro,” says Scruggs Jr. “Any insinuation that she would trade sex for scoops is just wrong and I pity the poor fool who would suggest that. She had big hair, wore short skirts, smoked cigarettes, and cussed like a sailor. She was no saint, but she always told the truth. I’m glad she didn’t live to see her good work taken down the wrong road.
