‘Baby Reindeer’s Emmy Wins Are A Defeat For Honesty, Says Lawyer For Real-Life Martha


Richard Roth, the lawyer for Fiona Harvey, 'Baby Reindeer's real-life Martha, has responded to the show's success at the Emmy Awards.

Roth is pursuing a $170M defamation lawsuit against Netflix, claiming that the darkly comic hit series, billed as a “true story,” was “the biggest lie in television history.” Roth’s comments follow a staunch defense of the show from Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, who has been in London speaking at a Royal Television Society event. The agreement was unveiled on the heels of Baby Reindeer’s standout performance at the Emmys where it dominated the longform field with six wins, including Outstanding Limited Series.
