Baby Reindeer true story: Martha’s real identity and the Netflix show’s messy aftermath.

Slate  

I wondered, while I was watching Baby Reindeer, what kind of aftermath a show like that might have. As I made my way through all seven episodes, I thought that people would undoubtedly try to find the real-life inspiration for the character Martha, the stalker obsessing over Donny, Gadd’s fictionalized version of himself. It’s fairly damning, particularly since Netflix put out an Instagram reel stating that each and every email Donny receives from Martha in the show is a verbatim message Gadd received from his stalker. Related From Slate Baby Reindeer Doesn’t Take the Easy Way Out The Daily Mail, in its infinite wisdom, thought it was a good idea to run an interview with this woman, whom they don’t name, in which she claims that, by writing a show about her, Gadd is now the stalker. Gadd himself has described the real Martha as someone who was “unwell” and “needed help.” This is what makes Baby Reindeer great drama: the complex ways that abuse tightens its grip around people’s lives in different ways; how they then visit their trauma on those around them; grappling with that guilt on top of the pain of the abuse itself.
