‘Baby Reindeer’ inspiration Fiona Harvey threatens to sue Netflix, demands $1.25 million from Piers Morgan

Fiona Harvey, whose real-life behaviour was portrayed in Netflix’s “Baby Reindeer,” is looking for payouts from Netflix, Piers Morgan and more.

Key Takeaways Fiona Harvey has publicly confirmed she is the person who inspired the character of “Martha” in “Baby Reindeer,” a woman who is portrayed to have obsessively stalked Gadd by sending him tens of thousands of online messages and letters after they met at a bar in London in 2013. Though Gadd never shared his real stalker’s identity, and even asked online sleuths to call off an internet hunt that began after his show took off, Harvey said she was quickly identified as the “Baby Reindeer” inspiration by fans and has been defamed by its false claims. Gadd plays the main character, re-named Donny Dunn, who in the show reports his stalker to police and she is arrested, charged, and sentenced to nine months in prison.
