Combative ‘Baby Reindeer’ subject Fiona Harvey rang suspicious alarm bells — but she may also be a victim
The Netflix show “Baby Reindeer” has become a sensation, skyrocketing to No. 1 on the streaming service in 30 countries, including the US. Created by and starring Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, the show is based on his real-life experience. The psychological thriller centers around Donny (Gadd), a struggling comedian who meets Martha (Jessica Gunning) during a bartending gig. The encounter quickly spirals into a terrifying stalking case.The real Martha has now allegedly come forward, claiming Gadd’s version of the story is “completely untrue.”“Very, very defamatory to me, very career-damaging. And I wanted to rebut that completely on this show. I’m not a stalker. I’ve not been to jail, I’ve not got injunctions. And this is just complete nonsense,” Fiona Harvey, 58, said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” which aired Thursday. “I find it quite obscene. I find it horrifying, misogynistic.”I’ve interviewed a lot of very dangerous people in my career, from serial killers to medically diagnosed psychopaths.And the common denominator is that they’re invariably very skilled liars, often because their warped minds have made them believe what they’re saying even if facts show otherwise.Fiona Harvey hasn’t killed anyone.But if she did all the things she is depicted as doing in “Baby Reindeer,” then she is certainly a very unstable, obsessive and threatening stalker who made Richard Gadd’s life utter hell.And indeed, the lives of other people she’s accused of harassing too.
