Netflix “Baby Reindeer” has sued the streamer, seeking monetary damages of at least $170 million. Fiona Harvey has publicly said the character of Martha in “Baby Reindeer,” played by Jessica Gunning (pictured above), is based on her. She is suing Netflix, alleging defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and violations of Harvey’s right of publicity.
The suit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Copy of Harvey’s complaint is at this link.
Harvey’s lawsuit alleges Netflix told “brutal lies” about her in the “Baby Reindeer” series. “The lies that Defendants told about Harvey to over 50 million people worldwide include that Harvey is a twice-convicted stalker who was sentenced to five years in prison, and that Harvey sexually assaulted Gadd,” her complaint says. “Defendants told these lies, and never stopped, because it was a better story than the truth, and better stories made money.” The lawsuit continues, “As a result of Defendants’ lies, malfeasance and utterly reckless misconduct, Harvey’s life had been ruined.
Simply, Netflix and Gadd destroyed her reputation, her character and her life.” Netflix reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “Baby Reindeer,” which is based on Gadd’s one-man Edinburgh Festival play, launched on Netflix in April and quickly became a monster hit on the streamer. In the show, which in the opening credits claims to be “a true story,” Gadd plays a fictionalized version of himself called Donny Dunn.
