‘Baby Reindeer’: Does the ‘Real Martha’ Have a Case Against Netflix?


A woman claiming to be the 'real Martha' from Netflix hit 'Baby Reindeer' has threatened to take legal action over her portrayal in the show.

With a legal battle apparently on the horizon, Variety spoke to two U.K. lawyers to discern what claims Harvey could attempt to bring against the show’s creators – and how likely she is to succeed. “There’s probably no hard and fast rule as to what is expected in this in this sort of scenario,” said Galbraith, who is currently representing Prince Harry and Sadie Frost in their claims of unlawful information-gathering against the Daily Mail. Linneker, who said he was “totally riveted” by “Baby Reindeer,” assumed while watching it that the real Martha would have been offered in the region of £20,000 to waive any potential claims in a pre-broadcast settlement.
