A novel out to bite Jen Aniston?

According to New York Daily News, Aniston's ex-flatmate, fellow actress Nancy Balbirer, wrote a book called The Underminer: Or, the Best Friend Who Casually Destroys Your Life. It is supposedly about a girl named "Jane" who landed a sitcom about friends living together in a place called the Village, presumably New York's West Village.
In the book, Jane got liposuction, a nose job, and hairline adjustment when she moved to Hollywood to find fame. Jane gets a role in the hit sitcom first, then later on her best friend (aka Nancy) gets the thumbs up as well, but Jane soon gets her fired 3 hours later.
"A few hours later, she was inexplicably fired, yet paid in full, plus an extra week's pay, despite never filming a scene."
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the similarities.
But Nancy swears that Jane does not automatically mean Jen. Despite sending a letter to correct this mix-up, Aniston's reps are still offended? Quoting Steven Huvane:
"Jennifer does know this woman Nancy, and she did live with her for a little bit, but did not live rent-free. The girl did try out for a role on Friends, but the girl just didn't get it.
"She just sounds like an opportunist who's using Jennifer to get attention. This is mean-spirited."
And ironically... "film rights have already been bought up by the company started by Vince Vaughn, Aniston's current boyfriend. "
Is this a spiteful revenge of an ex-mate? A harmless novel? A vehicle to fame? Even a conspiracy between bf and ex-bf?
What say you, comrades?

Even though, as you've said, we don't know what really happened.

I, too, was aiming for sarcasm, if nobody got the hint, except for jon. I wouldn't want these things happening to me, true. But otherwise, "no so poor"

It's doubtful you'd be bothered writing a book on something fictional which relates intermittently to real life events, without some other drive than literary integrity. Also, knowing Jen's not a poor girl she could destroy the book through the courts with an injunction or if found plain malicious and/or guilty of libel could possibly sue.
However where that truth is only the writer and Jen know.
