A woman who says she is the inspiration for the relentless stalker at the center of Netflix’s “Baby Reindeer” is suing the streaming giant for defamation and is seeking at least $170 million in damages.
FILE - The Netflix logo is shown in this photo from the company's website on Feb. 2, 2023, in New York. A woman who says she is the inspiration for the relentless stalker at the center of Netflix's Baby Reindeer sued the streaming giant Thursday, June 6, 2024, for defamation and is seeking at least $170 million in damages.
Netflix responded with a statement saying, “We intend to defend this matter vigorously and to stand by Richard Gadd’s right to tell his story.” This was possible, the lawsuit says, because on the show Martha creates social media posts identical to searchable posts by Harvey, including one in which she says, “my curtains need hung badly,” which is used as a sexual euphemism on the show.
