Crime expert slams Netflix & comic Richard Gadd over Baby Reindeer

- Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd is the 'real psychopath' and is making money out of lies, claims the 'real stalker'.
Fiona Harvey has told Piers Morgan Uncensored the comedian and actor behind the Netflix show is “making money out of untrue facts”.
She went on to describe Gadd, 34, as "a complete psychopath" who has “done bloody well out of defaming me", on being told he's likely made millions from the series.
The 58-year-old claims to be the inspiration for the character Martha, who is seen bombarding protagonist Donnie Dunn with thousands of emails and showing up at the pub where he works every day.
Harvey was 'outed' within hours of the show premiering on Netflix last month by internet sleuths.

I wonder when we will stop talking about the stalker and talk about the rapist in the movie. Why is everyone more concerned about trying to find out about the real Martha than finding out who is the real rapist? Where is the rapist who seemed to get away and probably is going on normally about his life...?
And potentially grooming others
Very good point.
Fiona is a lonely, mentally unstable woman that he led on. He enabled her behaviour, he brought that on himself but the predator, nobody seems to care that there is a rapist on the loose praying on young men. How many other victims are there or will be? I don't understand it.
People are actually trying to figure that out as well. It's just harder to figure that out when the rapist is not outing themselves so easily as Fiona is. She is literally going on an interview and such.
When Pierce’s “Martha” interview came up in my recommended videos, my first thought was “ok that’s nice, but who tf is the grooming pusher rapist?”. Hopefully all the eyes on this miniseries keeps him in constant fear and paranoia.
He's right. My 68 year old neighbour harrassed me for 2 years before i called the police. I would scream at him to leave me alone, and the next day he'd be back as if nothing had happened the day before. This is while he had a tag on his ankle for stalking a 21 year old girl, but he had no concept that he'd done anything wrong to either of us. The judge actually said to him 'i cant dismiss you as an old fool because still here today in court, you dont think you've done anything wrong'. These people are completely deluded and do not recognise how they behave. They genuinely think the other person was into them.
The r****st is definitely a lot worse then the stalker ... definatley needs addressing.
Exactly my thoughts! I cant believe this hasnt been THE main witchhunt!!!
@user-hm3bq9it6n no she groped him and did so much worse overall. She's a horrible person.
They haven’t outed that person because he is well known. Disappointing
@@PMCFrontLinesEven the victim would disagree with you
@@orangemoon9634 Women are wonderful effect. I don't care.
He gave a reasonably full account of his role in it. He encouraged behavior, he tried to set her up, he sought sexual encounters that I'm sure many viewers, like myself, found abhorrent.
His story was of trauma, why trauma encourages and cycles trauma, and how traumatized people seek out, encourage, and don't understand their own repeated traumas.
I think, with his story, he did his best to document what happened to him, as well as the reflections of his own behaviors that contributed to the story. Great piece of storytelling, and reflects how real life is never black and white.
I agree so much!! He helped expose a long misunderstood reality, trauma generates disorderd life choices because of how badly your brain gets re-wired
That's a lot of trauma from reading your comment about trauma.
What abhorrent sexual counters did he seek?
@@vph7he admitted to masturbating over her image which admits some amount of reciprocation in her obsession.
Are you Martha??
The casting for the stalker was dead on a great casting choice
Totally agree, even though they said they'd disguised her so much that she "wouldn't recognise herself ". They could be sisters! Lol
Yes and I read that she studied so hard for the part. She viewed hours and days and weeks of footage and sound of the real psycho Martha. She did an excellent job!! Award worthy IMO 🏆
I disagree because she and Gadd are both in their 30s and look the same age so him calling her older made no sense. The actual stalker was so much older and I would’ve preferred an actress who was older. Know he was in 20s when it occurred but then the actress should’ve been maybe mid 40s. To me Gadd wasn’t believable as in his twenties. So it made sense when the twist of his identity was revealed!
@@fiora5643The actress that would do the best job is who got the part. They were both styled to look older/younger. You weren't supposed to focus on the actual age of the actors.
That actress is extraordinary
This movie is not intended to be educational. It is called Baby Reindeer, not Strategies for Dealing with a Stalker. It's a warts and all account of one man's complex, emotional life experiences, including stalking.
It's not even intended to be a true story it's mostly exaggerated.
I hope she gets Piers' number and he gets messages sent by iphon
Hahaha
I hope not.
Iphoen XD
Don't be so hyperbowlic.
😂 brilliant
So with all these reporters working, none of them can confirm if she went to prison for 9 months?
she didnt. Netflix says directly that this is a fictionalized version of the true story. Richard himself said that she didnt go to jail
@@nekosquealer3423 She did for four months, but under a different name. Her nephew just said.
@@Annsunshine30 Then show us the evidence, until we see the evidence it simply is not true!
Right? It's bizarre. I am not so sure Gadd wasn't really playing this up for, well, sensationalism.
@@KatJ3st againnn.. it doesnt matter if she went or not Netflix mentions after every single episode this is a fictionalized version of true events so some things could likely be false. point of this show is not to incriminate her or to find the culprit; its to show human experiences and ENTERTAIN
This is second season material 😂
lmao
History on the making, perhaps?
Yassssssss!!!
Fiona has already been hired by Netflix - she’s writing as we speak 😂
She goes on Pierce Morgan and proceeds to stalk him. Morgan finally quits the show.
Fiona is responding the way would expect the real Martha to act.
This is so accurate
Exactly! She is clever. She calls him a misogynisy....
Let's not forget she is mentally ill
100%
On what do you basis your opinion, a TV show made for entertainment? No factual evidence just a TV show, good job. Well done, Do better
She is doing the same thing she did in the show, trying to smeer his name in public and trying to say its all his fault not hers.
She could've just stayed quiet and no one would have known. No one believes you, Martha!
i believe her, and many other people do
@@bellababy50505 dummy
You could say the same about him.
@@mysticjen379 that makes no sense ha
No it was soooo easy to find out who she was
Piers should not be doing this interview. This woman is not well & this could make her offend again. Completely unnecessary to give her a platform.
the guy who wrote the show, sold the show to netflix, is now the lead in the show, made stuff up and told netflix it happened, instigated and encouraged her behavior has also said he isnt right in the head... but yet he gets money and plays the victim lol. theres lies from both sides and the truth is more in the middle of both sides of the story.
I dont think she should have come forward and done the Piers interview either.
@@preciousdevere288 its good she has. we now see that there is some truth to what he has said, but at the same time, we know that Gadd did indeed embelish stuff, also most likely led this woman on and encouraged/enabled her behavior. he has made two stage plays which led to this netflix show. all of which has given Gadd the opportunity to embelish more and more stuff and is now claiming its a true story, not based on or inspired by, but in fact a true story. the truth seems more and more likely its in the middle of both of their stories.
@@intothezombieapocalypse you are so wrong..m
@@Huehuecoyote how?? explain or dont comment lol
Does noone else think that the focus sbouldnt be on Martha but actually on the rapist? It seems to me that Richard Gadd used the stalking part of the story to kind of be a safe way to tell the real story?
That criminologist takes A LOT of time/words to say VERY little
Rambles as much as Fiona herself 😂
Thank you for this comment so I don't waste my time. Appreciate ya.
He actually said nothing.
David Wilson is an awful psychologist, but for some reason he is considered an "expert" 🤯
@@julieoluna8887 And yet you expect us to take your word based on nothing but you saying it is so.
Whatever the real life drama etc... or how much was art imitating life ... Baby Reindeer is one heck of a great piece of work and the actors are brilliant ❤️
The actress playing her must have learnt her accent from somewhere maybe the voicemails she left??
scotish accent lol
@@dannysstart2218There's many different Scottish accents.
It's called acting school
It was a generic Scottish accent, plus Gadd is Scottish so she didn't have to go that far, he could have helped her with how particular lines should be said. But, Jessica Gunning most probably was allowed to listen to the voicemails.
If it is an accurate portrayal, more people will come forward and claim she is a stalker.
That criminologist could send a glass eye to sleep!
Yep. He just rambles about nothing.
Bahahahahahahahah
If the FB page I saw is hers, she admits texting, receiving free drinks and him peeping in her windows etc. I really want her to be telling the truth. But if that FB is indeed her.. then she’s already admitted to much of what she is simultaneously denying. Meanwhile Gadd could have blocked the emails and the calls. He didn’t and he admits he encouraged her and here the problem lies… she may have reasonably and genuinely believed they had at the very least a genuine friendship. I meanwhile wish the attention would be directed to the rapist who is allegedly known and being protected like Jimmy Saville was by everyone around him. What a farce!
There is a gag page too.
Lets see his computer/phone history
He admitted that he played a part in encouraging her. That was part of the angle he was coming in at. What caused he to stalk him is a whole different show. What is he on about
Except he verifiably lied and half of the show about sexual assault by a writer and Martha are completely absent of evidence. There’s not a shred of evidence for the majority of the story, and there’s verifiable lies.
She could make the same story tomorrow and you’d be saying she’s a hero and he’s a stalker by making a series of unsubstantiated claims and verifiable lies, because you’re a simpleton.
yeah... and now look at him. cashing in on it while painting her in a horrible light.
@@Disinfo321 Why would he need evidence when he was never even accusing anyone? This show was just him sharing his personal story, and everyone in the show is kept anonymous and they even changed a bunch of details to prevent people from being exposed. If you don’t believe his story, that’s fine, but don’t act like he’s falsely accusing anyone of something
Also do we even know if this woman is Martha? She could very well just be a random person trying to get clout. If you are so concerned about evidence, maybe show some proof that this lady is the same person?
@@pendantairplane he used the story of her stalking MP. That’s not his personal story.
Also notice how that whole interview was an attempt to defame gadd call him all different types of names etc where did he do that about her? It's clear that she is Martha weather everything that was in the show actually happ3ned or not I don't know but without a doubt she's a serial stalker
He's saying a lot of nothing . Richard Gadd was recognizing his part in it all and felt remorse, went to the police , had a conscience and this is in fact his story , so i feel this mans judgement to be quite unfair . Lets not forget his family was stalked as well .
Richard Gadd has every right to tell his truth and he did so powerfully and with great dignity.
The stalker has convictions for stalking. Gadd has all the messages saved.
If Gadd needed to talk about her crimes against him and she has convictions she brought it on herself and only has herself to blame. These are crimes.
However, the media needs to stop exploiting Gadd's trauma and the stalker.
My concern (after suffering severe stalking twice - one is now in prison for murder) was that the drama might trigger the stalker into offending against him again because it is an obsession. But that is NOT Gadd's fault or responsibility. He needed to talk about it and I 100% support his dignified, honest and powerful exposure of what he endured.
When I first watched this I felt sorry for this guy.. however when I discovered he was playing himself I began to change my mind about Richard Gadd! As a rape survivor I can’t imagine ANYTHING worse than having to relive that by acting it! Writing it can be cathartic sure.. but I don’t know one person who has been through that who would put themselves through that trauma again by re enacting it .. and it makes me question him and his motives .. I also think if “Martha” Is as bad as he says .. to then exploit her to gain fame and money is sick! He’s not the victim he likes to play and he cynically managed to get a whole host of woke agendas in there to boot! The Martha woman is clearly not the full ticket .. she needs help and instead he set her up for the lynch mob! I think he’s a despicable ruthless fame hungry fraud!
@@Monicablackbelt24 people need to process their trauma in their own way. I wrote an 800,000 word series of novels about mine and I am diagnosed with PTSD. It just couldn't stay silenced in me anymore. It was like screaming it out.
@@Monicablackbelt24 because he didn’t act how you would of acted or took his trauma the way you would of took yours makes you question his truth?
@@Monicablackbelt24I suspect the same.
Gadd put himself front and centre in this drama . No need for that . He could have written this under a false name and an actor cast in the part .
🎯🎯🎯🎯 He's's as much unhinged and an attention seeker just like her.
But how incredibly brave of him in his vulnerability.
Who better to play him and of course he was the centre of the story it was his story.
This is what I find facinating that he starred in it himself under another name but why no focus on the rapist ? That was the most brutal part of this show
@@juliettelynne5861 Indeed. How incredibly brave to use it as a vehicle to fame and allow a serial rapist to walk free so as not to interrupt said fame. What a guy.
Think the truth is somewhere in between.

Not many people realize that the stalker plot in the series was used as a device to enter the mind and thinking of Richard. Script-wise, The series is not about Martha but about him. Many other things occured in the series making him react to those awful situations to show us a kind of introspection about part of his life in the past. It seems people prefer focusing solely on Martha which is kind of a psychological freak show and very first degree.
@@LucyStormbringerLastic The public exposed her! And calling her a "Silly C" is shocking! She told her side of this story affter receiving abuse and death threats, and she has a right to tell her side, she is a victim too. The film appears to be extremely problematic - Not a true story as we are meant to believe!
In the interview Piers asks her has she been to his show and she says “no” while nodding her head not shaking it ! Body language doesn’t lie
If you knew anything about body language you'd know this is one of the biggest myths & you can't make an assessment based on one thing.
@@aussiejubes Hi , I’m not claiming to know about it , it was just something I saw and thought it was weird, but it is something your body does unconsciously
@michellemcgowan5657 you confidently claimed body language doesn't lie lol. This doesn't mean a thing though & can happen for a lot of reasons, none of which mean anything without a whole bunch of other body language cues to assess too. You'll notice you say yes & shake your head a lot (& vice versa) & you're not lying.
Now ya know.
@@aussiejubes thanks for sharing your take
@@aussiejubes thank you for sharing your veiw
Let’s remember first that Richard Gasd is a victim of crime and a victim of abuse. He also happens to be a comedian. The heading to this piece should be remember that.
comedian is a strong word.
Let's remember being victimized doesn't make one a saint.
According to him. So far, no evidence has been produced.
Or he was victim of none of that and actually just hungry for fame...
@@solarralos7102 he will if needed to. Netflix don't bankroll a true story without receipts
Won’t the police be able to put this to bed,they’ll have the facts
Don’t think they did anything about it in real life?
I believe she did stalk him but I think he had dramatised it for TV.
that is a very common thing for these sorts of programs
Well, we'll see, won't we, since convictions are public record. We will know if she ever really did go to prison for it, and we will know the truth of the matter. I agree with you that likely something did happen, which was not quite so dramatic, and he exaggerated it, possibly A LOT.
He did say that parts of the show had been dramatised for effect. But I still believe she inundated him with emails and calls, it just might not be 41k emails. But if he has kept all 41k if those emails, they'll be very easy to trace, as Piers mentioned in the interview.
I think he led her on and dumped her and her irrational mind, could understand why or accept it.
@@burlhorse61she is already stalking one of the guys that wrote an article now!
Do people realise when shows like this are produced, Netflix investigate on the back story. It’s not some TikTok where anyone just uploads their movies.
Based on a true story doesn't mean it will all be actual factual from beginning to end. All Netflix was required to do was change the characters names which is what they did. If the internet investigators still found her, that's not their fault. And if she actually did go to prison for stalking Gadd, what exactly is she suing him for?
Not defending her, but no one has been able to prove she went to jail for 9 months like the show is claiming (at least not yet). It should be easy to prove if it is true, but so far no such evidence has been shown that it is.
He is out of line this guy! I beleive that Gadd did not lie and he himself recognize he had a problem too! There are witnesses to all of that!
the guy lied about her going to jail . I wouldn’t trust anything he said
@@MichaelHandyman-bv1odshe DID GO TO JAIL!!!
@@MichaelHandyman-bv1odokay? So it was a bit of dramatisation in an otherwise true story
Most tv shows & films make stuff up for a more cohesive plot
@@Ilielotsssssdemonmrspnot in real life, just in the drama
He did lie, and any claim are absent of any evidence. But it’s a verifiable lie that she was not convicted of assault or stalking, so you’re also a liar.
Just like how there was no evidence of any sexual assault from her or a writer, the entire show is slanderous and defamatory. You are naive to take anything you see on the show as gospel.
I feel bad for her. This is wild, why's the rapest isn't being made public
I suspect because unless he has clear, documented proof of the sexual abuse, it would open Gadd and Netflix to a hell of a lot of liability. People attempted to find the guy in question and actually misidentified him.
I do too.. he’s exploited a mentally unstable woman for his own gain! Richard Gadd likes playing victim but I think nothing could be further from the truth! I’m extremely dubious about his motives behind all of this
But if the genders were switched you wouldn't
Why are people so hung up on this point? It is his situation to deal with however and whenever he chooses. And if he doesn't, that is his choice as well. The stalking shouldn't be brushed aside because he hasn't outed his rapist. It is funny that if the genders were reversed, people would say the woman is traumatized and didn't feel comfortable reporting her rapist and it is her decision. It goes both ways. You can feel sorry for her but that doesn't excuse the stalking. A lot of stalkers use pity to continue the connection to the victim.
She's a stalker..you can tell. She's seeing $$$$$$$ signs.
Making money from defaming her? No one had to know it was her had she not came forward 😂
Richard Gadd takes alot of accountability in his role in how his stalking got to the level it did. He openly states he suffers from his own mental health demons too. He never just blamed her but after enabling her for so long it was then hard for him to get her to stop when it got scarily out of hand and then became dangerous & frightening. He had every right to tell his story as it raises awareness to different types of people out there who also put themselves in these dangerous positions. He didn't provoke her but he definitely enabled it, but she should have stopped when he wanted to cut ties yet she kept going and going. Fionas interview shows an incredible resemblance to the character of Martha. She contradicts herself continuously, has grandiosity, takes no accountability or ownership for any of her actions that can be proven, she's a hypocrite and a pathological liar who seems to believe her own lies. She demonstrated that she lies multiple times in this interview by changing her story.
She's an unhinged and dangerous woman. Lock your doors Richard Gadd....and Piers, she will be on your tail now too.
I take it Richard Gadd didn’t know how to block her from his emails, Facebook and phone 🙄. What’s worse, sending 41,000 emails, or receiving them without blocking her after the first one 🥴🤥🤣. He didn’t block her because it either didn’t happen, or he wanted it to continue. He’s nothing but a fame hungry attention seeker
@@patriciamckenna3464 so glad to see someone else with this take. I watched the show and didn't even care about Martha. I was absolutely repulsed by the main character. Such a cowardly man who is now being praised and receiving financial gain for his horrific cowardice.
@@rubybonsparkletits2323 But that's the point - he takes responsibility for it. Admits that he encourage it for attention. He is not portrayed as positive character here. The story is focusing on how trauma can cause more trauma, how someone who went through trauma might be lost, lack any self confidence and self-worth, which can lead to making bad decision, engaging in bad relationship like f.ex. with a stalker. It's not a show with a hero and a villian, and he fully admits that so idk why you are making comments like that. It clearly shows you didn't watch or didn't understand what it is about.
@@zelgadisgreywolf8313 I watched the Netflix drama and I agree he didn’t portray himself in a very good light, but then don’t accuse someone of ‘stalking’ you when you actually encouraged it and led her on. According to the drama he was aware of her ‘allegedly’ stalking someone else, but yet he didn’t make any attempt to stop her. Why did he let her send him 41,000 emails? why did he not just block her?
It was obvious he craved attention and fame, and he’s still craving it 🤔
@@rubybonsparkletits2323 Yeh I think the public are more focused on ‘Martha’ sending 41,000 emails and not asking why he allowed it and never blocked her 🤔Also they seem to think that someone who was sent ‘mixed signals’ and maybe thought he liked her, is in some way worse than someone drugging you and raping you 🤷♀️
I just think Richard is caught up in his own self importance and is relishing all the attention and fame which is what he craved.
Blame shifting, gastlighting, demeaning comments, lies, manipulation, lack of accountability, lack of boundaries, lack of empty. This woman is clearly a dangerous narcissist.
There are different kinds of stalkers and not all of them are actually delusional, this guy had the opportunity to point that out. Even if he did act towards her in a friendly or even sexual way it doesnt warrant her actions. As per usual because its a female she has a get out of jail "its not really her fault" card, from some people.
This guy is a cop, and he has his angle: we need to teach people to go to police when they are stalked. However, this story is about so much more than only stalking... I agree, from the first contact with police, "Donny" is told that female stalkers are less dangerous because of less physical aggression. As if someone cannot make your life miserable without ever becoming physically aggressive...
@@georgemioch8981 hes not a cop he is a sociologist who used to work in a prison so he does a lot of these opinion peices for tv
BR is about stalking and mental illness. Nah, I believe him more then her. But the mini series is fantastic.
The stalking may be overly dramatized. The real Martha never went to jail for 9 months. The thousands of email and harassing the family are also questionable. I think it's important to listen to both sides. We would believe everything in the movie if she didn't appear on Pier Morgan.
This seemed like an additional episode of the series
Lmao 👍
This man badly needs a verbal editor.
And Morgan should not have agreed to that! She wants attention and she got it!
She’ll probably start stalking him….😮😬
@@foxylady9110 Yeah I wonder.
Morgan hast lost his ethics a long long time.
Yes! Thank you for pointing this out.
Stalkers are known to turn it around to the victim, she sounds very delusional. 🤷♀️
He will have played down his part in all of it. She stalked him, I think that is undisputed BUT I do not believe he is telling us the whole truth. I think Fiona frequented the bar and developed a crush on Gadd and for his and his colleagues amusement, he made fun of her and pretended he liked her too. He said himself he led her on but I think he has played things down where his own behaviour is concerned. Playing with the emotions of a lonely, mentally ill woman is not just cruel, it's a disaster waiting to happen. I have no respect for Gadd whatsoever. He used people for whatever he needed at the time. Fiona for his own amusement, Teri he was ashamed of but still needed her and the predator, he went back for more, even after being seriously sexually assaulted to get him to where he needed to be in his career. How many other victims are there or will be? Martha's portrayed as a monster but there's also a rapist on the loose that he would rather cash in on than report to protect others He has made a lot of money out of his story which will be heavily dramatized to sell to Netflix. Not excusing what Fiona did by any means, she needs help but he enabled her by leading her on until he realised he had bit off more than he could chew. He's also a weird horrible man, he brought that on himself.
Totally agree .
He tells on himself way too much and people pretend not to notice.
@@mobwatch8119I thought the same.
Well said.
good and brave comment - thanks
I think it’s a great piece of filmmaking. I was abused from the age of 9 and sought abusive situations like Donny, because that’s what was familiar. Baby Reindeer is about Donny and not Martha. She is much more than his antagonist, she is a walking wound like him. Richard Gadd wrote her with a lot of humanity and he never made himself as the sole victim. The real Martha can’t accept this and wants to make it about herself now. typical of narcissistic behaviour. And Piers thrives in this, because that’s the kind of exploitative journalist he does. What about Piers’s responsibility towards Fiona’s wellbeing and re-ignition of her trauma? Richard has the right to tell his side of his story, like Fiona.
This is exactly it. Thank god you get what the show was about
The fact people won't leave all this alone is a bad idea. Let it be a show and that's it.
It was a show which was advertised as based on a true story (not a dramatisation). If what it depicts is untrue (her sexual assault on him, '000s of emails, attacking his girlfriend) then she has been defamed & could sue. Given that these things can be factually proven (documentation/eye witnesses) then either she is a delusional liar or he is
This whole situation is kinda sad. I can't help feeling a bit sorry for her
I think the show does that perfectly. Martha is portrayed as a woman who keeps her hope up for a a relationship with Donny, but in the end actually needs help.
And people like you….who make excuse for bad behavior of others…..is exactly what’s wrong with this world. She needs ACCOUNTABILITY before she can ever be healed. Grow up.
@@Lynne9070where did OP say she didn't deserve accountability? Overly harsh comment. The show itself presents her in a sympathetic light.
@@Lynne9070 she obviously has mental health issues-that's not just bad behaviour
Me too. Being the victim of stalking is no joke but in this case I think that's what started it, a joke to amuse him and his colleagues in the bar by, making fun of a mentally ill woman with a crush letting her think he felt the same way until it got too hot to handle. He enabled her behaviour, he brought it on himself.
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. In her interview with Piers Morgan she said she didn't watch the series, but has been told about it by other people. She admitted some bits were true, like the name of the show and the hanging of the curtains. She explained she wants to sue because of all the harassment she is facing due to the show. She consistently said she didn't have his number and didn't text him. She also has a point that if Richard Gadd/Netflix didn't want people to identify her they shouldn't have used the few tweets she admits she sent. Until hard evidence of voicemails, texts, emails, convictions, etc. is shared publicly, she deserves the benefit of the doubt. Yes, she comes across as a bit quirky, but that doesn't make her culpable. We should also consider the possibility that Richard Gadd could have created a completely outrageous story based on some milder facts.
how can see sue him if he didn't use her name?
If the series severely embellished the stalking to the extent that they did; 40,000 emails etc and the real truth is considerably a lot less then I think they overdramatized the actual events resulting in a very misleading account of the truthful events.
They also portrayed her as a convicted criminal who had gone to prison for 4 years for stalking, and had a long history of it, documented online. This isn't accurate (she has no criminal record) and immediately labels her as dangerous. The court hearing at the end of the show is also fictional. People at large don't differentiate between the character and real person, which is the real danger.
what people don’t pay attention to is when it says “based” on a true story, which means it is based around a true story and thing are gonna be exaggerated or not true. This show is not his story, it’s based on his story
Exactly! It is not a documentary. It is a tv show.
@@LucyStormbringerLastic Netflix failed in duty of care! It only took 5 mins to work out who the real Martha is! And again someone has already been wrongly accused of rape.
You blind? It literally says, at the beginning of EVERY episode:
"This is a true story."
(No "based on" anywhere.)

Just confirmed she absolutely did do those things.
Wouldn't be surprised if they're both badly damaged people who've become pathological liars and just loving all the attention they're getting now.
I agree he had made mistakes, making her believe they were in a relationship, but he admitted this, and he didn't realize she has this mental state, and he does too. And yes again, this is a big problem, there are many underlying mental conditions we are undermining, and the world is still not aware of them, people can be dangerous when they get into higher positions in society. And it's contagious, And we all can see it.
Why did she pled guilty then? She can’t say it’s slander or defamation if she admitted to stalking..
I never believe what the Sun says, same with what this guy is jabbering on about. He clearly has gone "I got stalked... this didnt happen to me, so its all BS" Gabb clearly says he - at times - enjoyed the attention as he wasnt getting any, So walking someone home, or taking them for a coffee DOESNT mean theyre in a relationship. No idea where this idiot is getting that idea from. She was known to lie, and claimed they was in a relationship. And he even says, the only way for him to get her to listen, was to go along with her delusion.
He meant that walking her home, taking her for coffee, etc, *in her mind* meant they were in a relationship.
Remember what The Sun did to Johnny Depp
Pop stars get away with writing songs about their exes and internet sleuths outing and harassing them all the time. Why is this different?
richard gadd has never said it was her..... her taking credit proves he's not lying...
Has he said it’s not her?
@@Skaterbun not really his job to look out for her...
Richard shouldn’t have said he instigated it. Because now she can use his own words against him.. But she pled guilty in court to stalking? Didn’t she?
You missed the pont that Ricard Gadd was putting across about his own behavior and lonliness
Literally what tf was the old guy ranting about 😂😂
This is stupid. Not only Gadd admits his wrongdoings IN the show, but also, this gentleman is saying what one SHOULD do, what the appropriate action to be taken is, but is is talking about a level headed person capable of recognizing clearly the situation. But the show depicts his action as troubled. He even says so in his characters own mouth. All this is really dumb.
Work of fiction….get over it…it’s a show for people to watch and make up their own minds about……this is being blown completely out of proportion……..at its essence……it is a money making venture for Netflix.
The series seemed to end with him being comforted by her attention. I mean no wonder she's appearing on Piers Morgan. It's to get him back. This feels like some weird promotional material for season 2 or have we finally crossed the line between fantasy and reality. God help us all :)
It’s that like that black mirror episode where everything she does In real life gets put on Netflix
“Slams” is an overstatement for old guy rambling
Ageist? Do older people have nothing of substance to give? Seeing as you know everything, I must presume? No, I’m not old. Before you make your own presumption.
@@pommiebears Rambler spotted
@@pommiebearsI have respect but summarize it
Hold stalkers accountable. Stalking is a CRIME!!! Stalkers lie because they know full well what they are doing is WRONG!! They are hoping the public is both sympathetic and gullible.
In a weird, roundabout way this woman (if she is 'the' woman) is stalking once again, inserting herself once again.
He has the messages and e-mails for sure.
What the hell was that man on about? Jesus 🥱
Victims should not live in fear and not be encouraged to be kind because stalkers might get encouraged to do more harmful things. Victims should have the right to warn society of the dangerous behavior these stalkers engage in, exposing them without fear, especially once legal proceedings are completed and it is found that stalkers have committed a crime.
It said it was dramatised . Most true life stories are .
you see. in the show, the name is martha not fiona. neither richard nor netflix mentioned her name. nobody is claiming her to be martha but her lol. if she didn't do these, she can just prove it and move on xD I'd love to watch how that trial plays out like baby reindeer season 2 haha
If Richard Gadd is truthful then this crime expert needs to retire and apologise
If a man did this... they would call for his head...
Gosh just get to the point
Baby Reindeer was not a documentary. It's creative story telling inspired by real events.
What is so interesting about Baby Reindeer is that most stalking situations involve celebrities (major or minor) or normal folks who somehow come into contact with the stalker. This is the first time we see a stalker fixate on a highly damaged individual.
Holy moly. I'm glad he's not one of my lecturers, or rather wasn't one. I stopped listening several minutes ago and was just reading the comments 🤭
Remember the Dr. Phil interview with Shelly Duvall?
Maybe we should view this with a bit of caution and compassion.
I see where this guy is coming from but at the same time the whole point of the show is to portray the severity of it but also portray what not to do and his own faults in dealing with the situation
Another expert dragged out to state the bleeding obvious.
She wants some of the profit from the Netflix program. I’m not surprised she’s appeared .
Fiona/Martha would be a dream to observe in a disposition. Under oath with an apparent quasi relationship with reality would be playing a perjury countdown.
I can’t focus on anything except how GORGEOUS your hair looks!! 10/10
Do we have the proof of these emails and voicemails? Just playing devil's advocate here.
Of course not it’s not, nobody pressed charges, nobody was tried in real life. So now everyone believes Netflix now cause after all they are right, right? they don’t need to know or care about facts if Richard is making them and himself money out of it.
What was interest about the show was that Richard is now aware that his self-hatred, loneliness and low self esteem let this woman and the male abuser come close to him. He is aware that he let all this happen to him.
i feel like this guy didnt watch the rest of the show besides the aspect of the stalking..
Well I did, as a mother of teenage boys, the fact that a rapist is on the loose , was more concerning than the other two , staking each other from what I could see, there was a pair of them in that mess
Tell this lady that this is a fictional series based on real events, not a documentary.
With ask due respect, it’s Richard’s story and we don’t get to tell him what he should be doing with it. There was plenty of “If you’re experiencing this, call this number” type messages in the screen, and it’s bringing awareness to the issues that it depicts with so much rawness and vulnerability. You don’t get to demand that every piece of art, literature, film, be a platform. The show is excellent, it’s doing an incredible job of shedding light on unseen experiences, calling it “naive” is so reductive and just wrong.
The Sun journalist clearly didn't pay attention to the interview. Fiona never denied messaging Richard on Twitter - she said she sent a few msgs! She always said she didn't have his number! She said she had lemonade/soft drinks! Netflix should have asked for evidence that proved the series was actually based on true facts.
Bottom line, she revealed herself to the public. The lawsuit will go nowhere.
Why did Piers give this woman a microphone??
When does 'a muse' cross over to become 'a co-creator'?
It’s easy to call someone who’s got a problem a monster. Until you have a problem.
Was she incarcerated under a different name?
'I don’t think, I sent him anything '

Imagine for a second if the roles have been reversed? It would be nothing new and nothing shocking, there would be fuzz about it. However, I'm glad that the guy came out and people are finally speaking about stalking victims.
Where I come from, you can go to the police department and they can issue for you a "clean criminal record" document. You show this paper in instances like when getting a job in the government. And I'm wondering, couldn't she get this kind of paper and show it to the public if she has never been convicted?
"He would not advise sharing certain information about what actually happened": dude, nobody is asking you, it is not a police report or a legal case, it is a TV show, writer can share whatever he wants.
"She would find it difficult to recognize that the behavior she is engaging in is dysfunctional": well duh! If she was capable to recognize that it was an inappropriate behavior, she would probably not do it... Or like we say in mental health: stalker has no insight into their behavior.
And no, stalkers do not blame the person they are stalking for stalking, but for giving them reason for stalking. Martha believes that her and "Donny" have a relationship, that their short meetings are "dates", that they are going to get married and have children (Eggbert, Keith and Neo 🙄🙄🙄🙄) and since they are "involved", she considers his girlfriend as someone who is a danger to her, Martha, and her relationship with "Donny" and believes she is justified to protect that relationship by any means possible.
In terms of psychopathology of stalking: stalkers may have personality disorder, but it on its own doesn't make them stalk. They frequently suffer from erotomania: it's a belief that another person is in love with them, so by stalking, they feel they are "helping" that person express their emotions and achieve relationship they are longing for. Erotomania is a psychotic symptom, a delusion.
Also, whether the victim encourages the stalker, even out of the best intentions, such as wanting to be friends, feeling sorry for stalker and wanting to help, that doesn't have much effect on the stalker. Stalkers are pretty good in finding "hidden" messages, meanings and signs, rationalizations, justifications, etc. Sure, had "Donny" never given Martha that cup of tea, she wouldn't have started to stalk him. However, that minimal gesture that was really a part of his job as a bartender, started a storm...
This stalker story is specific because "Donny" was trying to be nice to Martha, make her a friend. And that is the point: he had a history of abuse, he was under stress trying to make it as a comedian, he had inferiority complex because of history of sexual abuse, so that made him even better victim for Martha. Stalkers find victims who themselves have issues and needs...
Baby Reindeer is not only a story about a stalker, but it is also a story about bad decisions on the part of "Donny" that end him not only being stalked by Martha, but also sexually abused while trying to become a comedian and writer. Its message is not only "what to do when someone is stalking you", but why was it that "Donny" couldn't do what any reasonable person would do in that situation, and that is go to police, avoid, instead of befriend Martha, protect himself so she doesn't learn where he lives, etc.
