Following Emmy Awards Scoop, ‘Baby Reindeer’ “Inspiration” Fiona Harvey “Is Afraid To Leave Home”


The Netflix drama scooped three big Emmy Award wins for creator Richard Gadd.

Following Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd ’s treble win at last weekend’s Emmy Awards – for acting, writing and producing the Netflix hit – the woman who claims he defamed her in his story of being stalked has shared the extent of her suffering. Fiona Harvey told the Daily Mail newspaper that she is afraid to leave her home, following her identification as the inspiration for the drama about a failing comedian (Gadd playing himself) befriending a lonely woman Martha, who proceeds to bombard him with texts, emails and visits to the pub where he works. In her claim she points out disparities between the two stories – that while Martha is a twice-convicted stalker, who ends up serving jail time, in real life Harvey has no stalking convictions.
