I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
The central premise of Baby Reindeer was that it was its lead, Richard Gadd, reliving out his real-life trauma in the form of a series, chronicling a woman who stalked him relentlessly, but also his own mistakes made over the course of the situation.
Well, since the show’s release, the alleged “Real Martha” has surfaced, blaming Netflix and Gadd for not doing enough to hide her identity. That’s Scottish woman Fiona Harvey, who did an interview with Piers Morgan recently about all this, and now she’s“The lies that Defendants told about Harvey to over 50 million people worldwide include that Harvey is a twice-convicted stalker who was sentenced to five years in prison, and that Harvey sexually assaulted Gadd,” the complaint says.
It’s Netflix being sued for $170 million, not Gadd himself, and here’s what Netflix says about the lawsuit in a statement:Harvey was “outed” by determined viewers who linked her social media presence with details relayed in the show. Plus, Harvey has a legal background like Martha and…a history of stalking, and all this was uncovered in just a matter of days after the show aired. But if it is her, she is alleging the show invented facts about her like that she served jailtime for the incident.
We’ll see what becomes of this, as the lawsuit has only just been filed. The saga continues for what will end up being one of Netflix’s most popular series of the year and will likely land a slew of Emmy nominations, including one for Jessica Gunning’s portrayal of Martha. But Gadd and Martha are not done yet, it seems.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
