Netflix has denied Fiona Harvey’s lawsuit accusations about Baby Reindeer.
“We intend to defend this subject vigorously and to stand via Richard Gadd‘s right to inform his tale,” the streaming platform stated in a statement to the U.Okay.’s Sky News on Friday, June 7.
Baby Reindeer, which was inspired by comic Gadd’s one-man stage show of the same title, premiered on Netflix in April. The series follows suffering comic Donny Dunn (Gadd) as he interacts with Martha Scott (Jessica Gunning), a former legal professional who begins stalking Donny over the course of a number of years. Baby Reindeer was once inspired by Gadd’s alleged stories as a stalking and sexual attack sufferer.
Harvey, 58, identified herself as the foundation for Martha all the way through an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored closing month, denying the accusations that she stalked Gadd.
“He’s loopy and needs to make this up,” Harvey said. “I imply, I’ve now not phoned the fellow. I don’t have his quantity. The best explanation for having a voicemail from me can be [from] taping me in the Hawley Arms. That’s the one place we’ve ever met.”
According to Harvey, she only exchanged a “couple of emails” with Gadd, 35. “[They were] just jokey banter emails,” she wired.
News broke on Thursday, June 6, that Harvey filed a lawsuit against Netflix, seeking $a hundred and seventy million in damages.
“The lies that Defendants told about Harvey to over 50 million other people worldwide come with that Harvey is a twice-convicted stalker who was once sentenced to 5 years in prison and that Harvey sexually assaulted Gadd,” the courtroom paperwork read. “Defendants instructed these lies, and never stopped, as it used to be a better tale than the reality, and better tales made cash.”

Her grievance persevered, “As a results of Defendants’ lies, malfeasance and utterly reckless misconduct, Harvey’s life have been ruined. Simply, Netflix and Gadd destroyed her reputation, her persona and her life.”
Gadd has no longer publicly addressed Harvey’s counterclaims or criminal motion, much like lots of the Baby Reindeer forged.
“We decided not to watch [the Piers Morgan interview], so we didn’t,” Nava Mau, who portrays Teri in the show, told Entertainment Tonight previous this month. “I kept pronouncing to Richard, whoever is meant to see the show goes to see the display and so I believe it sort of feels like a lot of folks have been meant to see the display. I am so thankful for the conversations that it has started. People are engaging in the topics which are … you recognize, they’re kind of difficult topics.”
