Scottish Lawyer Fiona Harvey to Sue Netflix Over Defamatory Portrayal in

Fiona Harvey, a Scottish lawyer, is taking legal action against Netflix and comedian Richard Gadd, the creator of the series Baby Reindeer. Harvey claims the show defamed her by depicting her as a stalker through the character of Martha, who allegedly represents her.

In the series, Martha is portrayed as a woman who stalks Gadd’s character, ultimately leading to her arrest and conviction. Harvey vehemently denies the claims, stating she has never been convicted of any crime, let alone jailed, as suggested in the show.

She argues that Baby Reindeer has caused significant damage to her reputation, leading to harassment and even death threats from viewers who believe the show to be a true representation of real-life events(STV News)(First Amendment Watch).

Harvey asserts that Netflix marketed Baby Reindeer as a true story without contacting her for comment or consent. She plans to pursue legal action in both the UK and the US, accusing the streaming giant and Gadd of exploiting the narrative for financial gain at her expense​(STV News)​(First Amendment Watch).

The case brings attention to broader questions of defamation and fictionalization in media, as Harvey seeks to restore her reputation amid the fallout from the show’s release.
