The Times also has obtained a timeline, provided by attorneys working for HP, of excerpts from emails sent from Fisher that tell a different story. In the emails, which are juxtaposed against passages in the letter, Fisher appears to seek more opportunities to be at events with Hurd, and expresses delight at being around him.

And:

Fisher has since said the letter written by Allred contains many inaccuracies.
