Read our privacy policy Baby Reindeer star Richard Gadd has backed Netflix in their effort to dismiss “real Martha” Fiona Harvey’s lawsuit accusing the streamer of a litany of charges including defamation and emotional distress. “It is impossible to be exhaustive in setting out all of Harvey’s conduct, as there were so many instances of unwelcome personal interaction and attempts to engage, as well as deeply troubling communication.” Gadd has denied Scott’s claims Commenting on Harvey’s viral interview with Piers Morgan, Gadd added: “I was surprised that Harvey appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored. Though I have only watched certain segments, I understand she claimed that she was the inspiration for the Martha character, and that she never sent me thousands of emails nor left me any voicemails.” Offering “a microcosm of the sheer scale of her targeted harassment,” Gadd also denied that Scott’s character was entirely based on Harvey. Plan auto-renews until cancelled Try for free “I never intended the Series to identify any real person as Martha Scott, including Harvey,” he said in the document which is partially blacked out.
