So . . . she suing because she is a stalker, just not quite as bad a one as the character being exaggerated for effect on TV.
Good luck there.

So the lesson here is lying and stalking pays. To Gadd and Harvey!

Amazing how she keeps coming out on top and messing with this guy’s life.

They should use Fargo as an example that ‘this is a true story’ can be part of the fiction itself

Learned early on in my life that as a man, the tears of a crazy woman can be a dangerous thing

I get that this would be defamation if he named her. But he changed her name. It was her that went on the record as saying it was her. Is it still defamation if you don’t identify the individual and then they out themselves??

The funniest thing about Baby Reindeer is people observing that making a Netflix series about your own experiences with an awful stalker is a terrible decision, as if the entire running theme of the show isn’t “Richard Gadd makes terrible decisions”.
The mere existence of the show is a meta-textual continuation of the story contained *within* the show.

Just start saying her name like we identify Brock Turner. The creeps should face repercussions. Fiona Harvey was her name. Should have kept the conviction out of the story anyway, would have been more accurate to how we as a society usually treat these crimes.

I don’t want to support a stalker but I would argue Gadd brought her back into his life himself by creating this show, making false statements and not hiding her identity sufficiently.
Netflix/the production company should be held accountable too. They could have easily fact checked any of this and her identity should have been disguised better than a twitter search

Tbh this is more in line with today’s world, the bad guys win.Â
Stalker gets rewarded, glad we’re at least sticking to the script.

I think she’ll win the defamation case, but will only be awarded nominal damages as she won’t be able to prove that it has materially harmed her.

She’s obviously mental but I would be shocked if she doesn’t get a lot of money from this.
So many avoidable mistakes, being mental doesn’t mean she can’t legally take action for the ways in which they depicted it.
