Netflix's 'Baby Reindeer' is said to be a true story, but a new lawsuit filed by Fiona Harvey calls it 'the biggest lie in television history.'
Fiona Harvey, the woman who says she’s the inspiration for Netflix ’s hit show "Baby Reindeer," has sued the streaming service for defamation and is seeking $170 million in damages, according to the lawsuit filed in California. Scottish comedian Richard Gadd created and stars in "Baby Reindeer," which premiered on Netflix on April 11 and quickly became one of the streaming service’s most popular shows.
"After being identified, the press in London began to contact Harvey, and the hatred towards Harvey on Internet forums such as Reddit and TikTok reached extreme levels including death threats," the lawsuit states. Netflix was not immediately available for comment, but the streamer told The Washington Post it intends "to defend this matter vigorously and to stand by Richard Gadd’s right to tell his story.
