has spoken out about the accusations, calling herself a “victim” and claiming that she has been barely sleeping due to death threats on the internet.
The Scottish woman, who remains unnamed, has been contacted by armchair detectives who watched the Netflix drama and spoke to the“I'm the victim here, not Richard Gadd,” she said. “I've had death threats as a result of his show despite the fact that a lot of the things he claimed are just not true. Someone online said, 'If I find you I will kill you'. A guy in North Carolina said that he and other people were going to stalk me like I am supposed to have stalked Gadd.
Richard has been vocal about his concern for ‘Martha’, telling Variety: “I have a bit of empathy overdrive sometimes. But it’s not like anything I’ve seen on television before. Stalking usually is depicted as someone who is kind of evil, whereas I felt like there was a vulnerable person who genuinely couldn’t stop, who for whatever reason had believed the reality that was inside her head and no matter what couldn’t change from that.
“I mean, it is a mental illness and I wanted to portray that. I did see someone who I felt sorry for.”He has also asked fans of the show to cease speculating who the real-life counterparts of ‘Martha’ and ‘Darrian’ , were after one of his colleagues was accused of being the man in question.The statement read: “Hi everyone, people I love, have worked with, and admire are unfairly getting caught up in speculation. Please don't speculate on who any of the real-life people could be.
