Fiona Harvey, the purported real-life inspiration behind the true story of Netflix's 'Baby Reindeer,' sued Netflix Thursday for $170 million in damages.
Fiona Harvey, the purported real-life 'Martha' in the Netflix hit 'Baby Reindeer,' filed a lawsuit Thursday seeking $170 million in a California court. Harvey accused the streaming giant of defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and violations of her right of publicity in documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
The complaint began with a quote from the show, stating, ''This is a true story,' Baby Reindeer, Episode 1. The above quote from the first episode of the Netflix series, Baby Reindeer, is the biggest lie in television history.
The complaint is self-explanatory,' Harvey's lawyers told Fox News Digital. 'Netflix destroyed a woman, claiming, among many allegations, that she was a numerous times convicted felon. It never contacted her. It never checked the facts. It never made any effort to understand the truth of its ‘true story.’ The story is wrong.
