In a recent twist to the success story of the hit Netflix series "Baby Reindeer," the real-life Martha, Scottish lawyer Harvey, has expressed her frustration and is considering taking legal action against the streaming platform and lead actor Richard Gadd. The series, which presents a raw account of Gadd's experience with an alleged stalker, has amassed a staggering 54 million views since its release on April 11.
Harvey, who is portrayed by Jessica Gunning in the series, has vehemently contested the events depicted in "Baby Reindeer," labeling them as a "load of rubbish." She specifically challenges the narrative that she was imprisoned for her actions, arguing that she has never been sent to jail. She also emphasizes that there are no restraining orders, injunctions, or interdicts associated with her.
In an interview with The Daily Record, Harvey expressed her frustration, stating, "Gadd needs to prove I went to jail which just didn't happen. I've never been sent to jail. That is blatantly obvious. This is all made up and hyperbole. There are no restraining orders, injunctions, or interdicts anywhere. There's just no way. I've not had the police at my door about any of these things. It's a load of rubbish. I don't have any money, but I'm a perfectly capable lawyer, so I will represent myself."
The unexpected success and popularity of "Baby Reindeer" on Netflix have firmly positioned it as the streaming platform's top English-language series for three consecutive weeks. Garnering nearly 54 million views, the drama has captured the attention and intrigue of audiences worldwide.
With Harvey now contemplating legal action, it remains to be seen how Netflix and Richard Gadd will respond to the allegations. The streaming platform has been contacted for comment but has yet to provide an official statement.
As the story unfolds, viewers are left pondering the authenticity of the events portrayed in "Baby Reindeer" and whether the series will face any repercussions for its alleged misrepresentation.
