Real-life Martha from hit Netflix show ‘Baby Reindeer’ sues streaming giant for eye-popping sum

her complaint reads, adding, “Defendants told these lies, and never stopped, because it was a better story than the truth, and better stories made money.”Series creator and star Richard Gadd isn’t named in the suit. Harvey is alleging defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and violations of her right of publicity.Based on events from creator-star Richard Gadd’s life, “Baby Reindeer” (now streaming, with nearly 60 million viewers tuning in for its first month) is a thriller following Donny (Gadd), a struggling comedian who meets Martha (Jessica Gunning) while he’s working as a bartender.

Prince Harry can challenge UK’s decision to strip him of police protection
Prince Harry has been given permission to appeal against the rejection of his legal challenge to the British government’s decision to take away his police protection when he is in Britain, his lawyer said on Thursday.Harry, King Charles’ younger son, started the action after the Home Office – the ministry responsible for policing – decided in February 2020 he would not automatically receive personal police security while in Britain.In February, the High Court in London ruled that decision was lawful and dismissed Harry’s case, and in April refused him permission to challenge that ruling in a higher court.However, the Court of Appeal has now said it will hear his challenge following a direct application from Harry’s lawyers, who said Harry had been granted permission to appeal.Harry, along with other senior royals, had received full publicly-funded security protection before he stepped back from his royal duties and moved to California with his American wife Meghan in March 2020.The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, known as RAVEC, then decided Harry would no longer receive the same level of protection.Judge Peter Lane had concluded that RAVEC was entitled to reach this conclusion and ordered that he should pay 90% of the Home Office’s “reasonable costs” in defending the case, though the government’s total outlay was not stated.In granting permission for an appeal, Judge David Bean said he was persuaded, “not without hesitation”, that Harry’s challenge on the grounds that RAVEC had not followed its own stated policy had a real prospect of success.The case against the government is one of several high-profile legal battles Harry has brought in the High Court, with his others involving

Jake Gyllenhaal says being legally blind has been ‘advantageous’ to his acting career: ‘Never known anything else’
told the Hollywood Reporter Wednesday.“When I can’t see in the morning, before I put on my glasses, it’s a place where I can be with myself,” he said.Gyllenhaal was born with a lazy eye and was naturally corrected early on in his life, and he has been relying on contact lenses since the age of 6.Gyllenhaal’s vision is now 20/1250The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) and the US government determined a visual acuity of 20/400 is very low functional vision.In his 2015 film “Southpaw,” Gyllenhaal tapped into his day-to-day experience of not being able to see clearly.In one specific scene, Gyllenhaal’s character is told by a police officer that his wife has died.To make his reaction more realistic, Gyllenhaal opted out of wearing his contact lenses in a bid to hear his co-star better.The ‘Brokeback Mountain” actor opened up about his vision problems in 2017, telling the Telegraph that he was often bullied at school over the corrective glasses he wore.“I was always a sensitive kid,” he said, adding that he was an “easy target” for trolls.But it turns out that the squabbles helped him later on in life, as he credits them for preparing him to deliver in his onscreen fight scenes.In Amazon’s “Road House” — which is director Doug Liman’s remake of the 1989 hit film that starred Patrick Swayze — Gyllenhaal went up against retired UFC fighter Conor McGregor.“I [got to] throw Jake Gyllenhaal over the bar, so that was pretty fun. I loved it,” McGregor told Page Six at the film’s premiere in March.The fighter, 35, also commended the actor who “took one or two wallops” while filming but “gave back as well.”“We had a great rapport.
