In 1997, Foster released the book Foster Child, in which he chronicled his childhood.[4][5] The book saw him allege that Jodie was a lesbian or bisexual, many years before she came out, and claim that their mother had once had a same-sex relationship.[6] Jodie called the book a "cheap cry for attention and money, filled with hazy recollections, fantasies, and borrowed press releases [...] Buddy has done nothing but break our mother's heart his whole life".[7]
