The woman portrayed as “Martha” in the Netflix series Baby Reindeer will give her side of the story in an online video interview.
Fiona Harvey, who publicly revealed her identity in a Daily Record newspaper article days ago, will have a sit-down discussion with interviewer Piers Morgan on Thursday evening at 8PM GMT.
Harvey is expected to voice her anger and frustration over Richard Gadd’s hit Netflix series, which resulted in online detectives uncovering her real identity. Morgan has described the show as “astounding.”
The drama was plainly marketed as a “true story” and provides an intensely candid depiction of Gadd’s claimed experience with an alleged stalker.
Gadd stars as the main character Donny, while Jessica Gunning plays Martha, now known to be Scottish lawyer Harvey.
In her interview with The Daily Record, Harvey said she is considering taking legal action against Netflix and Gadd, alleging that events shown in the series were fabricated lies.
“Gadd needs to prove I was jailed, which just didn’t occur. I’ve never been sent to jail. That is glaringly obvious,” Harvey stated.
“This is all fictitious and overly exaggerated. There exist no restraining orders or injunctions whatsoever. It’s simply not true. The police have never come to my door over any of this.”
“It’s a pile of nonsense. While I don’t have money, I’m a fully capable lawyer so I will represent myself.”
Baby Reindeer premiered on Netflix with little fanfare but has since exploded in popularity, amassing nearly 54 million views since its April 11th debut. It has topped Netflix’s English-language series rankings for three straight weeks.
Netflix has been approached for comment on the matter.
