- Head of Public Policy at Netflix Benjamin King was in front of the DCMS Committee on Wednesday where he was grilled by John Nicolson over potential failings in duty of care at the company over the release of the show Baby Reindeer, and whether Netflix could have done more to protect the real life identity of the woman played as Martha at the centre of the show.

Would we feel the same if the stalker was a male on female
Yep. It's mentioned in the story as well
She’s a stalker and they are literally safeguarding her, what else do you want woman?
Yes well at least smart people look at amber heard you can’t defame people and get away with it
If it was a lie in the movie yes.. but lets not pretend, women victims of stalking are in a bigger danger and high death rate... Men and women are not the same... Equal doesnt mean the same... Are you more afraid of a regular cat or a panther? Not the same level of threat... A female victim cannot defend herself against her tormentor, even in the show he was annoyed by her but not afraid of her.
@@kristina4395 I agree. Additionally, have you noticed all women stalkers are fat and ugly? I wonder why we dont see a beautiful woman stalking men?
If the show was about a male stalker and a female victim, would there be a select committee about the duty of care? Not sure there would be
You outed her, without any real proof! Fiona has been publicly attacked, for something that looks like wasn't completely accurate! Also, it probably was unintentional, he made out he liked her, flirted with her, showed interest, even going out for coffee! Strange way to act when not actually interested.
He was teasing her. He liked the compliments, but didn't want to date her. Which from the sites looked at for a "woman" he wasn't straight, he liked the idea of a woman, why went on a trans dating site, actively, seeking one.
He just should have been honest from the start, I believe none of this would have happened if was.
Then you know, he could have blocked email, he didn't even need to give it, she was just a customer!
He did that.
As far as aware not been arrested! Even Piers Morgan said not received any evidenced to even suggest went to court.
Never outed the rapist! It might not have affected Richard as much, but most people actually getting raped will class that as more damaging!
Also, we forgetting he did follow as spy through her window? He admitted doing so himself, but that is fine.
What are you trying to say
@@kbbbnnnnnnnnnnn are you saying ‘he was asking for it?’
Imagine saying that to a woman
Unbelievable
@@kbbbnnnnnnnnnnn I outed her? First I've heard of that
Yes, if the male in question was never convicted for stalking. Legally she is not a stalker. I know she is, shes crazy af but you can't legally call her one
She was convicted of the crime, before she started again?
She clearly didn’t rehabilitate. Yet there is a committee about it. Surely the biggest issue here is lack of mental health services in the U.K.
Never convicted. All fabricated
She has no criminal history though. Possibly an interdict issued against her by a former employer but that isn't a criminal conviction. Do I think she is volatile and obsessive? Yes. Is she a convicted violent stalker? No. There is no criminal history. The show is framed as a true story. They depicted her as a twice convicted violent stalker and SA perpetrator. That's a far cry from digital harassment. We also don't know if those messages and voice notes exist. Did Richard present them publicly? Who verified his story? They lied about the convictions and violence and her SAing him under a bridge. I don't want to cast doubt on him but don't present a story as true and then fictionalize major parts of it. If he failed to get justice then show that. It's important to raise awareness that most stalking victims don't get justice. Why exaggerate and fabricate convictions that never happened?
Hopefully this goes to court now, then Netflix can do a 9 part series on 'Baby Reindeer, the court case' 😂
"Making a Stalker", season 2.
Where parts 2 through 9 are completely redundant? I’m in! Will watch.
'Richards story'..
I suspect there is far more to his story. Far far more.
He is just evading the question. Obviously they hoped it would buzz for publicity. These people have no shame.
This is going to get very messy
such a fucking waste of gov time sort out the sewage discharges into rivers
They did sort it out, they made it happen and made their mates some money. Job done for them.
Why the fuck is this a select commitee, there are far more important things no?
Those "more important things" can happen in parallel. It's not an either or. The digital, culture, media and sport select committee scrutinises many areas, it's not just this one show from this one creator.
@@PorthLlwyd It can't though. There are only so many hours in the day. These people need to prioritize what they spend their time on. And this doesn't seem that important to me. If an adult commits serious crimes, that is a matter of public record, and they do not have a reasonable expectation of anonymity.
@@andybrice2711 what else should this select committee be doing instead about quizzing the heads of a huge media business that has access to the minds of millions of people?
Not all adults are the same. Some people have mental illnesses. And hounding by the public might have devastating effects on their mental wellbeing.
100% agree
But your watching it like 75 million others. Then complaining 😒.
Am I missing something but hasn't Gadd been doing this stageshow for over 5 years?
yeah but she wasn't found until after the netflix show came out. still a pretty lame reason to have this committee tho
There are several differences between the stage show, and this dramatised television version. The TV show, whilst containing narrative that was present in Gadd's previous one man version, also combines narrative from a preceding stage show ('Monkey See, Monkey Do') along with several fictionalised moments added for televisual dramatic effect. Whilst there are key traumatic moments reflected in both versions, the Netflix claim that 'This is a true story' should absolutely not be taken as gospel. To quote Gadd, "The skeleton of the story is absolutely true."
The (1hr) stage show, whilst garnering significant critical success in the fringe theatre landscape of the UK, was by no means widely known in the mainstream consciousness. Within its stage life, it played to combined audiences of a few thousand, not a global audience of millions. It certainly didn't become part of internet meme culture, or the associated (grimly ironic) toxic obsessiveness of social media pitchfork mob mentality.
Perhaps this is partly down to theatre audiences generally investing specific time/money to enter a physically communal environment to be told a story, which (hopefully) influences a level of maturity in the way that story is received, absorbed and processed. Whereas blindly binge watching something on a streaming platform, as this weeks 'must see', removes that increased level of nuanced personal investment/mature influence, leading to the kind of underthought analysis and distorted ownership that many are taking with this.
I get the feeling that neither Richard Gadd, the production company, or Netflix envisioned the TV show gaining this global level of interest/media exposure, and perhaps naively felt that the public reaction to it would fall in line with that of its theatre audiences. That hasn't been the case, which does appear to raise legitimate safeguarding concerns.
She even went to his stageshows and supported him. There's publics tweets of that.
@@FahadAyaz OP is referring to the stage production of Baby Reindeer, not Gadd's much earlier stand-up shows.
She has actually tweeted about his show being excellent before and recommending people go see it!!!
Public money being spent on “safeguarding” a fking stalker
They could've made minor tweaks that would have made her less identifiable, such as not having the exact tweets shown (which can and were searched, hence her being identified), and at least change a few details about her. They seemed to change literally nothing but the name.
Oh please. There are lots of details of events and times and dates changed. And then people complain about that. Perhaps it's a good thing she's been identified. It may save someone else from being stalked relentlessly. I do wonder if people feel the same if this was a man stalking and harassing a woman. I doubt it in the extreme.
How about not having Richard Play the role
Where is the proof?
We tried to hide their identities by getting an actress who looks exactly like the person
That's just good casting. You wouldn't have Samuel L Jackson play Winston Churchill
@@zangrat Well said.
@@zangratWinston Churchill was a public figure so your comment makes no sense, Martha wasn't known by the whole world at the time of filming. The dirty director on the other hand IS a public figure but they decided to cast a man who looks exactly like an innocent party in his role so you internet wannabe detectives are now stalking the wrong person. 🤦♀️ How does a show supposedly made to highlight the dangers of stalking manage to turn the audience into rabid stalkers themselves? The irony and hypocrisy would be hilarious if it wasn't so depressing. Jfc
And letting the "victim" play the part
he didn't answer a single question
This is going to be so much fun. Who's telling fibs?
I think Gadd, this guy seems to think that gadd has suffered a lot of traumatic abuse and the story was a truthful account, but I think it’s been exaggerated and dramatised by gadd. He’s been doing these sketches on her for years, so he was probably not expecting her to come forward.
@@l.jaynepritchard7294If you've seen the interview with Piers it's probably painfully obvious that she's not being truthful when the details of her story keep changing.
I don't doubt that the show was likely embellished to be more entertaining but I think it probably was largely true overall.
its a bit hypocritical to say they tried their best to protect Martha's identify but failed miserably but was very successful in hiding Darrian's identify by making him a generic character.
To be fair, it's not just social media but the whole internet that makes it all but impossible to keep identities hidden nowadays, especially for papers.
Cylok2871- Fiona has a ‘paper trail’. Posts on twitter. Past victims coming forward. Then outing herself as the ‘real Martha’. That is the difference between her situation and the real Darrien. Internet ‘sleuths’ have tried unsuccessfully to find out his true identity
@@thinkhaven7902exactly. It wild to think it’s even remotely comparable
I agree, also the fact that everybody calls "monster" to the woman stalker while the man who actually rape him is barely mentioned anywhere.
People have found out who he is as well to be fair though (it's not Sean Foley)
If she was a genuine good lawyer she could negotiate a huge pay out for herself
Lmao
What has any of this got anything to do with politicians?
Select committee. Remember piers Morgan phone tapping scandal. Same same. It affects population and needs be investigated. I think that's a good thing. Imagine having a true story about you. You're called a paedophile. You get outed, but in actual fact it's not you. You're then left with no recourse to protect yourself and no one to protect you. I'd say you'd be pretty scared, well past being vindicated. So before we crap on our systems, breathe, let's have a good 🤔.
Nudge nudge..
Some things. Politician's are the people that create legislation around privacy and law, knowledge about issues regarding these subjects is something you'd want politicians to have.
Well, it puts people like Nadine Dorres in a job - once... erm.... laws to protect identity... urm stuff about freedom of speech... urm... see facebook and online mitigations? That. Stuff to tell naughty people that they rick being busted for saying too much, lke flashing willies/boobies etc to children and terrorising/traumatising propaganda.
Politicians can't help but feel they have any control over the Internet. It's hilarious.
How many times did he repeat ‘Richard’s story’ yeah Richard’s story was probably a fable, he’s admitted to exaggerating scenes and dramatising it, this bloke and Gadd is not singing from the same hymn sheet.
Net flix could pay for the support she clearly needs ?
If she excepts she has issues then yes , they should , but at least Gadd admits to his flawed character.
@@nutcracker2916 She hasn't been given a netflix platform to put out her side, has she? In fact, she's only been on Piers Morgan thus far, how can you possibly expect her to state she has issues when she's flooded with bullies on the internet and has to defend herself? Richard Gadd didn't even give her the heads up, nor did Netflix. Give her a minute, not defending her, but Richard was given grace with all his mental issues, why isn't the same grace given to the person who is alleged to have done all the stalking? Also, it's "accept" not "except".
@@flinchfiles8445 She's constantly giving her "side" on her social media. She never stops!
If it’s true she won’t win a defamation case. If it’s not true she will win.
Thanks Sherlock
She'll win regardless because they didn't protect her identity, thus opening her up to harassment. After making so easily identifiable, if only one detail depicted is untrue - she will also win a legal proceeding based on defamation.
It's Netflix own fault ... They should have made the character completely different. Instead, they made the character in her likeness, made her easily identifiable, and then potentially invented some significant defamatory details.
If their argument is they invented those details, if certain details were invented, to make her less identifiable, they are going to lose.
@@DD-co1zn Anyone want to bet £10 Fiona Harvey gets nowhere fast with any lawsuit against Netflix, especially after watching her on Piers. Her brain was too scattered & she was lying & constantly contradicting herself. The doozy was that she was going to represent herself. A trial would be cruel. She may have also stalked comedian Jane Godley as well. All very scary & sad.
@@user-wz2zw8wq2p her mental state is all the more reason Netflix should have protected her identity. Make no mistake, she has about 2 or 3 cases against Netflix, and she will win at least one of them. She doesn't have to be innocent of every thing she's accused of, she just has to be innocent of one. That, plus being made easily identifiable, means she will win something for sure. Netflix have been completely wreckless, with intent, to generate buzz to drive audience numbers up ... They won't be looked on favourably by the courts, even when challenged by someone like Fiona.
Incorrect. And, he could countersue. She would be toast.
So many people saying the actress looks like the real woman, am I missing something here. If two people are roughly the same build and have a scottish accent they must look-alike? I think they look nothing like each other atall.
If someone's been convicted, its part of the public record.
It doesn't give anyone the right to expose them or endanger them or portray them in anyway without their consent !
@@skavengerr It does mean people can publish. It's part of the public record, there isn't a requirement to have their permission to publish established facts. This is why it's possible to make movies about real life events. The people harassing her are the ones operating outside the law.
@@joisagirlsname There are many lawsuits by families of film characters ( alive and deceased) against companies in the industry because of how their relatives were portrayed in films and series especially when based on true events.
These things are still subject to consent and agreement
@@skavengerr IF she choses to go ahead with a lawsuit against them, they will have their enormous bank of lawyers stand up. They very obviously have all the emails, SMS, FB and Twitter posts (have you seen her Twitter posts about hanging curtains?) and her letters. The will also, no doubt have loads of witnesses coming forward. They would not have taken on this project without the lawyers combing over all he had to give them. If she sues, Richard Gadd could countersue her for all the damages, harm, stalking, intimidation, etc. And, she'd be toast. I reckon should should be greatful for the 250,000 pounds that she got for the Piers Morgan interview and leave it at that.
The fact that she went on about how she had so many lawyer friends (she's been struck off for stalking), her lawyer boyfriend, etc, shows that she's extremely aware of the lawyers that Netflix, Richard Gadd, and, if she sues the Daily Mail, the lawyers they have.
She's toast if she doesn't walk away from this with her 250,000.
But the real life woman wasn't convicted of anything
I thought she was treated unfairly too

Wow. Would you say that if it was a man that stalked and harassed for years, threatening, etc. Have you seen her actual Tweets? Her FB, anything? I'm absolutely amazed. If she were a man, she'd be put away.
@@LyndaHill Exactly. Her comments online are homophobic anti English. And she has made some really damaging allegations against the staff who worked at The Hawley Arms when she was a regular there. If the place was such an alleged awful place, makes you wonder why she still went in there ?
@@nutcracker2916 I just saw a post that her nephew apparently came out and said (rightly or wrongly) that she went to gaol for four months. I bet Piers Morgan has some more insights soon as I imagine he has a bank of researchers looking into all of this. Lawyers, too.
@@nutcracker2916 Something else to consider, that I've found no one talking about, is the fact that she was 48 when this all started and he was 24. Again, would people feel sorry for her if she was a male? His birthday is May 11, I looked up his bio to be rather surprised that it was actually his birthday. He is 35. To me, he looks ten years older. I wonder if these terrible events he went through have contributed to him looking more like 45.
😅
sent form my iphone
😂 Mental that this even exists?! Now people can't tell their own stories? 🤔 😂
Fabricated stories about real people? No
It was easy to locate her by checking his twitter etc. Her on Piers Morgan was hilarious. Basically got her to a T and she was trying to defend herself despite ‘not seeing or knowing any of it’ she is a living breathing contradiction. Her behaviour matches the show too! Was a hysterical failure at her attempt to change face!
She's autistic, that doesn't make her deranged and a stalker, though. If she proves in court he fictionalised the entire show out of 4 harmless encounters with her in which he pursued her, and she then felt bad for him and engaged in some flirty banter and support for his work, will you apologise to the woman? She never went to prison for his previous claim of alleged stalking, and the previous one was political games. Which means he made up ever going to the police about her. I wonder what else has Gaad made up that people like you take at face value?
Piers Morgan said no evidence been found of arrest at all, or of the number of emails claimed!
@1:25 still saying it's true story, now Gadd has said it's in a 'fictional realm'
Convicted Stalker... Show us the proof.
Talented man, if not answering a question is a skill
Tax payers paid for this meeting, why is that money being used for this?
100% we are in a living crisis because taxes money is wasted on this bs
Don't worry, they just keep printing more.
I am not from the uk i thought it was a sketch lmaooo
Promo?
They could have changed some of the tweets and the ladies appearance a little. Hopefully they told the truth at least.
After watching the Piers Morgan interview I believe everything in the series.
@@osmanthusk.7384then you’ll be a idiot because even Richard said she never been to prison
@@vegetalover1009 well she should. So lock her up, what are you waiting for ? 😅
There's a disclaimer at the end of each episode "based on a true story " ect. Not that hard to check!
Have they sorted out who robbed the tax payer of Billions in PPE deals? Have we got that back yet? If not, why is this shit being conducted with tax payers money.
Richard has the right to name his abusers! He chose not to but he and Netlix shouldn't be pursecuted just because Marta outed herself. It's also no one's fault she abused him so publically that people sleuthing could find her. Victims have the right to share their trauma! Male victims are constantly silenced like this...
nothing done to proctect her idenity she was found in 20 minutes.
Because of all her tweets
@@zangrat that the show referenced. Instead of, y'know, not referencing them.
@@DD-co1znYes, because stalking, harassing and threatening fir years should just be allowed. Is it because she's a woman?
@@zangratExactly. Bizarrely, the account is still up. Just reading her tweets is enough.
@@DD-co1zn well the show kinda has to reference it.... You know, for the stalking thing?
what about the man and the sexual abuse?
They said nothing to hint to who he was, they changed his appearance and are protecting him so he can do it to other people.
She was trying to destroy him and when he is broken to pieces she will be there to pick up the pieces. Totally evil and sick
He suffered from the Convicted stalker? Where is her criminal record?
Fiona is going to have to pick a lane. She said in her interview with Piers that Martha isn't her (and couldn't be her) but if she wants to start a court case to claim defamation re the reference that she is a "convicted stalker" then she will have to establish that she is Martha. Problem 1. We're also forgetting that Netflix states in the credits that certain incidents etc. are dramatised. I think she has an uphill climb on this one.
That woman honestly reverses the attention tbh I think anyone who stalks anyone like that should. Tough world.
😂😂😂😂
He doesn't answer the questions he is been asked , he talks tralala 😂😂😂
What a cop out, blames social media for stoking interest in the real life inspiration whilst using social media to generate downloads. You can't have it both ways. Then totally avoids question of what they did to support or prepare real life Martha, suggests they did nothing.
If this were a man he would be tarred and feathered all over again, even after serving his time for the crime. The commentary would be quite different. She deserves the backlash in my opinion, and she's trying to profit from it. I bet if/when Netflix pays her, she'll go away. Or she'll take the reality tv series offer. (sarcasm) But I can definitely see Hollywood going there and she WILL take the deal. You heard it here first people. And once the real life Darrian is exposed, he will be brought up on charges, even though Richard Gaad himself didn't press charges for it, and hung out to dry.
He us protecting Darrian and no charges will be filed, it was 12 years ago... So he had free hands to do this to other people
This will be triggering for the far right and the far left, but the key to solving this puzzle is a thing called *the evidence*.
This man from Netflix claims, after thorough due diligence and in front of this select committee, that Fiona has been tried and convicted of stalking, yet journalists are reporting they can find no such conviction. He then at least twice states it’s a true story. The select committee did a bad job of cross examining what could be a serious case of defamation if, indeed, the evidence does not support the programme’s allegations.
This will be obvious to some but not everyone, given some of the comments I’ve read:
Nothing in the Netflix programme is evidence. It is one person’s account. The interview is the other person’s account. To find out which account is true, we need to see…the evidence. Instead what we have so far is a television series for profit and Piers-Clickbait-Morgan for profit.
You can say something is a true story when it's not.... Just look at Fargo (film & series). It's done to dramatize the situation and make it hit home harder
How dare you suggest that objective truth exists.
@@andybrice2711 Yes, I’ve certainly done it now 🙊😅
He's publicly said that the sentencing part of it wasn't true but they wanted there to be some closure in the show.
@@FahadAyaz So the statement "this is a true story" which Netflix stood by under oath isn't true then?
And if the gender roles were swaped, would they ask the same questions?
A better rhetorical question, why is the powerful male rapist so well protected while the mentally ill stalker was thrown to the wolves through easily Googlable details?
@@thefelicitsTo be fair, the stalker is all over his public socials - that's how he was found. The man who physically abused him likely hasn't been as public but it's said that everyone in the industry knows who he's referring to.
@@thefelicits so by your logic, is the male rapist not mentally ill also?
I am really surprised that nobody is questioning Gadd's version of events. To date nobody has stood up to corroborate his elaborate version. Surely, if all of this stalking took place in a bar over a number of years other employees and patrons would have been aware of it and would by now spoken to the media? Surely, if "Martha" had a criminal record, it could be traced in public records. I know we are all focused on Martha's stalking but I really cannot believe that in this hyper connected world nobody has yet stood to to collaborate Gadd's version of events. Maybe Martha did stalk him for a while but maybe most of his show is a fiction for dramatic effect.
Gadd has openly said that in real life he didn't press charges. The real woman did however receive a conviction from her previous job.
Strangely, he must have two real lives because Netflix called the show “a true story”. He cannot have his cake and eat it.
@@brendanrobinson6860
I thought you'd watched the show. Martha is not quite all there. Are you really that surprised that people don't want to get involved?
It's only because this woman was allowed to have a platform via Pierce Morgan and say enough lies and introduce doubt that anyone is even questioning it. But most aren't even doing that - and in this case there's a good enough reason for it. I amazed you don't see it.
@@brendanrobinson6860forget the show, there's more than enough REAL LIFE PROOF that what he's saying is true. As to the woman's convictions and her overall character.
@@bonhomiegal What convictions? To date nobody that has tried to fact check the show has been able to find a single conviction. In the show he says that she has been convinced of stalking her lawyer boss; had stalked a policeman, and had been sent to jail for stalking him. There is no public record of any of this. Be careful to believe the man with the "mic" He has had years to polish his version of events. All I am asking where are the real life witnesses to this drama. Why aren't they coming forward?
This would NEVER even be a concern, especially talk of 'duty of care for the real stalker' if it were a man on the receiving end of it. No one can convince me otherwise.
You might be right, but should it be so?
The show appears to be about the mental illness of both characters. What good is done by these recriminations?
@@Hercules_the_Great None, so why are they creating it by doing this circus with the committee
@@maxclarke7943 I'll give you that, that is just for the clicks.
Oh grow up
She identified herself mate.
True sells. Even if its not.
This is bs I don't care how messed up Richard was his the victim and he suffered not only from stalking but grooming and sa. Male victims deserved better. I don't care about the affects on these types of people "martha" needs help...and the man who sa him need to go to prison.
This series is getting a season 2 from what I see. LOL.
Coming soon to Amazon Prime.
I was bullied beating and stalking my classmate. Classmate asked my family visiting about my house. I trying to report to teacher and staff. We are ignored and careless. I felt trapped and stuck about evil and cruel classmate sound like Martha.
Sorry, Netflix, but you're not telling the truth.
Select Committee? 😮
Insane to me, they're so concerned with protecting a criminal.
The rapist is still on thr loose
Some people want to make sure people that might have a mental illness are safeguard, regardless of whether they have been convicted of a crime.
She's clearly mentally ill, genius.

I don't think they'd be so concerned if it had been a man stalking a woman.
why safeguard stalkers?
Ffs this is not important 😊
Interesting blind sided ??

Content AhOY! ....what a mess
Why is this before a select committee when delivery companies like yodel are unregulated and exploiting workers illegally deducting loads of money from innocent hard-working delivery people.
I think the harsh answer is because there is no uprising for that issue because not many are aware of it....I wasn't. Probably because it's being hushed as some bigwig is making money from it.
But everyone is aware of baby reindeer and so there is a huge inquest into it. It's beamed across the world so everyone is curious.
The issues you mentioned are not.
I think they should be, but unfortunately these media issues trump that. Sad but true.
I H4TE THIS EDITING TREND. Put a phrase at the beginning, then start again a few seconds earlier, and repeat the same segment that was at the beginning. It's OK for a short, but on a full length video, it's muddling the chronology!
Yer definately not crawling out the woodwork chasing a few quid after the monetary success. I imaging its purely coincidence.
Brexit and Baby Reindeer... lol... welcome to the UK.
He claims she has been convicted of stalking. Yet there is no record of it. Let alone a trial or a police record.
Laura Walker then Wray came forward and alleged she and her husband , back in 2002 had to get an injunction on her as she made her life hell for five years. Even accusing poor Laura of harming her disabled child. When she was investigated , the spiteful allegations made by Fiona ( Muir) now Harvey, were proved baseless.
There actually is record of this and her previous victim has also done an interview with a UK newspaper
@@96unicorns It doesn't mean anything if there wasn't a conviction, we know the risks of allowing a trial by media. Let the courts do their job.
@@nutcracker2916 doesn't mean there was a conviction, if it actually happened Laura she have sued and let the courts do their job. We're not going to allow a trial by media.
When I was watching it I tried to google who it was but couldn’t find anything so I moved on and forgot about it … but now I know BECAUSE SHE IDENTIFIED HERSELF ON TV
Liars
Is this AI generated? Very weird
She’s a convicted stalker so why is all this happening?
Total waste of time, stalker smelt cash, tell her to jog on!
She’s never been convicted. Ever. It was made up for the show.
@@MrKeenunHow do you know? Where can I check this information? Thanks
@@jessl6239 considering it would be public record or dug up by now and he said he made it up, it’s on you to prove that she had. No records have been released and I think it’s pretty evident that she hasn’t.
Part of it was revenge, let’s not forget that too. Yes she had issues, no reason to doubt the story.
Convicted stalker doesnt mean she went to prison shr could have appealed and got community corrections order instead because she pleaded guilty so fact she was shown in prison could still be true
But the conviction would be present in her criminal record. She has no convictions on record.
Thanks Columbo. We know how convictions work. Point is she's never had one and Gadd made it up.
For those wondering about the public record, it’s quite possible for a victim to know someone was given a Police caution but a Police caution wouldn’t be made public knowledge. The victim could deny it’s existence and unless raised in a court nobody would know one way or the other 🤷♂️ A person must accept guilt to get a caution but I don’t think it’s classed as a conviction in the true sense. If so nobody will ever know unless she tried to sue. If she hasn’t even got a caution, I’d be surprised if she didn’t sue as it could be a huge payout.
How would he know she had a caution if it's not public record ? At any rate, if true that won't bode well for Netflix - they made her easily identifiable, based the character on her likeness, and claimed in the show that she was convicted (of stalking) and that there was ample public record of it in newspapers etc. even in this committee, the Netflix representative is saying she is a convicted stalker.
@@DD-co1zn victims I believe have a right to know, but it’s still one word against another as far as the wider public are concerned.
Why would anyone bother about a caution when he flat out said she was a convicted stalker when she evidently isn't? And not just once, twice. Said she was a twice convicted stalker. The real problem is that he knows he was just as bad as her (said so himself) so he never had an opportunity to go to the police because if it was true he wasn't so squeaky clean either but why was only one portrayed as a convicted stalker, why not him? Because it was his story and his show, someone had to come off better than other and he chose himself.
I dont know why people agree to turn up to these things.
They are quite right to ask and discuss privacy laws but the netflix guys are right in saying that they cannot control what the internet does nor is it ok to water down someones story to the point of it being unrecognisable. Richard was the victim. Mental health or not martha isn't.
She got identified by her tweets, even if a skinny girl would act her, her tweets would be the only tweets from that time that match the story… so she would be anyway the only one connectable to that story …. 😅
😶
She's a dangerous and deranged stalker who was found guilty through a fair trial. She doesn't deserve anonymity.
I bet the papers back in the day when they plastered her face everywhere never got this.
@@mrcassette they are regulated and quite probably did get some scrutiny. Also, by deranged I assume you (the first poster) mean mentally unwell, so what next? If she had bad mental health then some treatment would have been part of any sentence, which could now be undone. She could sell her story a paper about her illness being exploited by Netflix for profit, the sudden interest in her could cause a relapse on her metal health or further deterioration. These are all questions that you hope would, and should, have been asked.
There isn't currently any evidence that Fiona Harvey was ever charged with anything or went to jail.
@@grassygnoll3345mental illness doesn’t give people a pass at being awful. It’s an explanation, not an excuse. Victims have a right to share how they’ve been wronged, she is in charge of controlling her reaction after the story’s publication.
Or maybe she isn't?
gadd wants the money fame. lets not forget the RAPIST
They shouldn't have used her real messages and they should have changed her profession, nationality, appearance...I don't blame Richard Gadd, he didn't know it would blow up, and it was fine for the purposes of the stage show he was adapting, but Netflix needs some guidelines about this before broadcasting true stories to such a large online audience
What about Paul Gadds mental health when she was stalking him made his life hell
If it were the opposite scenario, where Richard was the one stalking Martha, all those who have been advocating for Martha would actually have been endorsing Richard's ostracism from society.
Please stop the pointless intro.
You did nothing sir except deepening the drama of real people and intentionally allowing vultures to take their part. Even if everything was true, and, as you say the woman has been punished for her crimes, who are you to bring the rage of people she never met or did anything wrong to on her. I hope she sues the shit out of you!
Fun thing is that on the other occasion you have broadcasted a DOCUMENTARY where ancient greek character was assigned a different ethnicity...
Yeah, nah. Why are a bunch of suits doing movie promos?
Whether or not she has been sentenced in court for three counts of stalking and punished with a 9 month prison sentence is quite easy to find out. But no one has found anything? By his own admission the show’s creator has said he was a user of a whole list of mind-bending class A drugs - and yet everyone is accepting him as a reliable narrator? There no doubt some basis to the story but it’s been exaggerated, manipulated and commoditised and used to drive fame for the lead actor - the one thing he admits in the show to be his ultimate aim in life. And mission accomplished. Everyone else is collateral damage.
How about dealing with something that doesn’t only concern a single convicted stalker? 🥱 😴
She's never been convicted.
