‘Baby Reindeer’ Legal Battle: Fiona Harvey Pours Scorn On Netflix Claim That “Cheeky Music” Showed Series Was Not Actually A “True Story”
Fiona Harvey ridicules Netflix for attempting to claim that viewers disregarded 'Baby Reindeer’s “true story” billing because of its jaunty music.
In the latest stage of the legal battle over Baby Reindeer, Harvey’s lawyers claimed that the smash-hit series has “destroyed” her life after she was identified as Martha, the Jessica Gunning-portrayed character who stalks Donny, the protagonist played by creator Richard Gadd. Netflix said: “This line must be viewed — from the perspective of a reasonable viewer — in the context of the rest of the series’ content and dramatic devices, including its creative cinematography, intentionally ironic and absurd scenes, and cheeky music.” “A reasonable viewer would understand that, while the series tells Gadd’s story of struggling through a personal crisis while being stalked by a woman he met at a pub, it is a drama infused with fictionalized elements — not a real-life documentary.”
