speaking of the current plot, is it true that it's all recently made up?

there was this news few years ago that the plot of shingeki no kyojin have been leaked, and that it was a scienteist who created the titans to destory humanity.

and people said because it was all leaked, the author had to change the lore and the plot

is it true? or just a rumor? That sounds like a rumor. If Isayama had said that in an interview it would have been documented somewhere with a reliable link to the source material.

While I haven't seen the live-action movie, it features a plot where Titans were created due to a military experiment with a virus that got out of control. Maybe the rumor was confusing the movie plot with the manga? The movie is a different storyline and makes no attempt to share a continuity with the manga.
