![Real Life Martha Claims Richard Gadd Asked If She'd 'Like Her Curtains Fixed'](https://maltadaily.mt/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/baby-reindeer-website.jpg)
In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Fiona Harvey, the Scottish lawyer known as the “real Martha” from Richard Gadd’s Netflix hit Baby Reindeer, criticized the series as “obscene” and “defamatory.” Harvey acknowledged that she possessed a toy that inspired the show’s title but emphasized that the series itself was a “work of hyperbole” and “fiction.” She also hinted at potential legal action against the streaming platform.
The controversy escalated after Harvey disclosed an alleged encounter with Gadd, during which he purportedly asked her to “sleep with me,” echoing a scene from the series. Despite Gadd’s urging for fans not to delve into the real-life inspirations behind the show, curiosity persisted, leading Harvey to appear on Piers Morgan Uncensored to clarify her stance.
Baby Reindeer is based on Gadd’s personal experience with an alleged stalker named Martha, portrayed by Gadd himself in a fictionalized manner. However, Harvey’s revelations have raised doubts about the show’s authenticity, with her willingness to challenge its accuracy in a court of law.
