Marina Valmont Instagram – A woman is suing @Netflix claiming she was horrifically defamed by the streamer’s smash miniseries “Baby Reindeer”!
Comedian and actor Richard Gadd wrote and starred in the series, which is recounted as a “true story” of his experience being stalked.
The stalker is alleged to have sent him tens of thousands of emails and hundreds of hours of voice messages, with her ultimately being sentenced to prison.
Gadd called the story “EMOTIONALLY” true, but also said it existed in, quote-unquote, “the sphere of art”, and requested that people NOT try to figure out the people it’s based on.
Well, THAT didn’t happen, because you know how the internet is! People soon tagged a woman named Fiona Harvey as the “real life” stalker.
She soon went on Piers Morgan’s show and pretty much acknowledged she was the character’s inspiration, but denied actually stalking him, and claimed she’d only sent him a handful of messages.
NOW, Harvey says she’s suffering mental anguish, anxiety, nightmares, depression, sickness, and more over the show’s portrayal. And she wants A HUNDRED AND SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS for it!
Netflix has already responded, saying it’ll “defend this matter vigorously” and “stand by Richard Gadd’s right to tell his story”.
Sounds like this one will end up in a courtroom, and the testimony is going to be FASCINATING – since several OTHER people have now come forward saying Harvey harassed THEM, including a politician and another comedian.
But assuming Fiona Harvey’s telling the truth, how do you feel about so-called “true stories” that dramatically exaggerate those true “facts” to make the story more exciting?
How TRUE should true stories have to be?
