Katie Cassidy completely transformed into Karen Read for Lifetime's new film, Accused: The Karen Read Story. "I just tried to embody the character, and I do believe that there's three sides to every story," Cassidy, 39, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the TV movie's Saturday, January 10, premiere. "There's her side, there's their side, and then there's the truth, and the truth always comes out." Read, 45, was arrested in 2022 for the second-degree murder of her then-boyfriend, John O'Keefe.
