latest hit Netflix series, “Baby Reindeer,” has said that he doesn’t want viewers trying to figure out who the real-life people are in his psychological thriller. “That’s not the point of our show,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.Despite his statements, internet sleuths have searched out who the real “Martha” is, and now, 58-year-old Fiona Harvey, nee Miur, has come forward and given her first TV interview to Piers Morgan for his show “Uncensored.” When asked what message she had for Gadd, she said, “Leave me alone, please. Get a life, get a proper job.
I am horrified at what you’ve done.” She also said she has not watched the show, but added, “I find it quite obscene. I find it horrifying, misogynistic. Some of the death threats have been really terrible online.
People phoning me up. You know, it’s been absolutely horrendous. I wouldn’t give credence to something like that and it’s not really my kind of drama.”Based on events from Gadd’s life, the show (now streaming, with nearly 60 million viewers tuning in for its first month) follows Donny (Gadd), a struggling comedian who meets Martha (Jessica Gunning) while he’s working as a bartender.
When he shows her a moment of kindness, that backfires, and she turns into an obsessed stalker — doing acts such as sending him over 41,000 emails. On whether she was in love with Gadd, she replied: “I gave him the brush off.”“I said no I’m sorry, I’m not interested. He asked me to sleep with him,” she claimed.
“And I said, ‘I’ve got a boyfriend’. I gave him the brush off big time, I think, you know, subtly so. But the bottom line is..
No, I don’t fancy little boys without jobs. That sounds awful. That sounds really, really callous.
