Richard Gadd Shocked ‘Baby Reindeer’ Was Not Just “Little Cult Artistic Gem” As Interview With Real-Life Martha Is Watched By Millions


Richard Gadd shocked by 'Baby Reindeer's success on Netflix, as Piers Morgan's interview with real-life Martha, Fiona Harvey, watched by millions.

The show sparked a frenzied internet guessing game and the character of Martha (played by Jessica Gunning) was identified within days, leading to the alleged stalker being thrust into the media spotlight. Harvey, who repeatedly denied stalking Gadd and harassing his loved ones, said she had received death threats and phone calls from strangers since the series debuted. Netflix has not commented on Harvey’s interview, but during an appearance in British Parliament on Wednesday, the streamer’s UK public policy director Benjamin King defended the show and said appropriate steps had been taken to protect identities.
