The lawyer of the woman suing Netflix for how she is allegedly portrayed in its hit drama Baby Reindeer has called its haul of Emmy nominations “a slap in the face.” Fiona Harvey, a Scottish woman who used to know Richard Gadd, the writer and lead actor of the drama, is suing Netflix for, among other things, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and gross negligence.
This week, her lawyer Richard Roth, told the UK’s Daily Mail that the recognition in the upcoming Awards was the “latest slap in the face” for Harvey who, he said, had suffered “a life-changing tragedy” as a result of the “brutal lies” told about her in the drama.
He said: “There was some suggestion that the series shouldn’t have been nominated for Emmys because of this ongoing issue. Netflix claim that Baby Reindeer is a true story is clearly false.” Regarding Harvey, who lives in London, he said: “She’s afraid to go out in case people shout at her in the street.
