Following Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd’s treble win at last weekend’s Emmy Awards – for acting, writing and producing the Netflix hit – the woman who claims he defamed her in his story of being stalked has shared the extent of her suffering.
Fiona Harvey told the Daily Mail newspaper that she is afraid to leave her home, following her identification as the inspiration for the drama about a failing comedian (Gadd playing himself) befriending a lonely woman Martha, who proceeds to bombard him with texts, emails and visits to the pub where he works.
Harvey said: “I am afraid to go outside out of fear of being attacked. Some weeks I do not leave my apartment. I am suffering from, among other things, constant panic attacks, chest pains, anxiety, nightmares, depression, nervousness, stomach pains, loss of appetite, fear and insomnia.” Her lawyer, Richard Roth, described the situation to The Mail: “The disparate treatment and world in which they live is obvious and apparent.
Richard Gadd is now a multiple Emmy award-winning star, solely as a result of Netflix’s fictitious ‘true story’, while she continues to suffer.” In May, Harvey and her legal team launched a $170million lawsuit against Netflix, claiming she had been defamed “at a magnitude and scale without precedent.” She is suing for intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and gross negligence.
