It’s been quite the time for those involved in the real-life story behind Netflix smash hit Baby Reindeer . Created by Richard Gadd , 34, the popular drama series is said to be based on a true story, following his character Donny after meeting a woman named Martha who slowly becomes obsessed with him. After an initially friendly and innocent encounter, Martha’s actions soon turn sinister as she begins waiting outside Donny’s house, sending him numerous emails, and harassing members of his family.
Since the series debuted on Netflix, sleuths apparently tracked down the ‘Real Martha’ , who is believed to be a woman called Fiona Harvey. In an interview with Piers Morgan , Fiona, 54, a lawyer, vowed to challenge Gadd and Netflix in the courts. She also denied that many of the events depicted in the series even took place.
But it seems Richard isn’t the only person to have come into unwanted contact with Fiona, with several big names apparently receiving unsolicited communication from her in the past. Where else can we start? Richard Gadd has been revealing details about his unfortunate encounter with the ‘real life Martha’ (who appears to be Fiona Harvey) since he first debuted his one-man comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe. During his ordeal, Richard claimed to have been sent thousands of emails, to have been stalked outside of his home, and that members of his family, including his girlfriend at the time, were harassed.
Fans of the Netflix adaptation were so co.
