This is a more general situation but not exactly the same i think
“Everyone is a villain” says, a pov exists where you’re the villain.
Here is more “one will fake a story where you are the villain” (a specific case where the pov in which you are the villain is faked to protect someone’s interests)
I’ve seen the second a lot in breakups were one will find every excuse possible to not think they are the asshole, including gaslighting themselves into thinking the other is a monster respinsible for the whole thing.
My favorite version of this is “everyone’s the villain in someone’s story”.
