Inside the Baby Reindeer stalker’s quest for revenge: How Martha has hired a top lawyer who claims there’s one crucial fact that could enable her to prove a key part of the plot is ‘complete fiction’…
Daily MailWith its 60 million views and worldwide acclaim, it would be easy to imagine Baby Reindeer's creator Richard Gadd must be celebrating his good fortune. Fiona Harvey, who has outed herself as the true-life inspiration for Baby Reindeer's stalker 'Martha', has hired a top lawyer who claims she has never been charged with a crime The 58-year-old appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored to contest the way she has been portrayed in the global hit show If so, then he has not been paying attention to his own script because the situation now appears the opposite of resolved. Despite Gadd and Netflix's insistence that the storyline does not reveal the stalker's true identity — Gadd previously claimed to have disguised his stalker's identity to such an extent that he said, 'I don't think she would recognise herself' — Ms Harvey was quickly exposed by online sleuths and says she has suffered death threats and abuse from internet trolls. Mr Gadd stands behind the bar during the Netflix drama as he meets 'Martha' - the character based off of Ms Harvey and played by Jessica Gunning Mr Daw, from Lincoln House Chambers, said: 'If you're telling the whole world something's a true story, it's no good to then say in media interviews, 'Oh, don't treat it as a true story, it's all kind of made up'. In an interview just before Baby Reindeer aired on Netflix, he said of such a personal drama: 'It's just a big exposing time — but I'm well up for the ride.'
