A British woman who claims she was the inspiration for the stalker in the smash Netflix hit “Baby Reindeer” sued the streamer Thursday, demanding $170 million in damages.
Fiona Harvey has identified herself as the real-life “Martha,” the delusional, violent and abusive woman at the center of Richard Gadd’s global phenomenon, which claims in its opening episode to be “a true story.”
“The above quote… is the biggest lie in television history,” the lawsuit, filed in California, says.
“It is a lie told by Netflix and the show’s creator, Richard Gadd, out of greed and lust for fame; a lie designed to attract more viewers, get more attention, to make more money, and to viciously destroy the life of Plaintiff, Fiona Harvey.”
