The woman believed to be the real-life inspiration behind the villain in ‘Baby Reindeer’ is now suing Netflix – claiming they defamed her… and she’s going after millions.
Fiona Harvey just filed suit against the streaming giant — and she outright denies many of the actions Martha allegedly did in the limited series… which portrays her as an overly obsessed stalker who constantly stalks the main character, played by Richard Gadd.
In the documents, obtained by TMZ, Harvey claims that Netflix has created an easily accessible road map that will allow viewers to track her down in real life and connect the dots to her identity.
She says Netflix used many real sentences she said to Gadd — many of which were documented on her social media pages — and also used very similar descriptions of her job (lawyer) in what she says took minimal effort to mask her from the audience.

As a result, Harvey claims she has been bombarded by people around the world – who she claims are harassing her because of the show and the way Netflix portrayed her on TV.
More importantly… Harvey claims Netflix has completely ruined her reputation with false and defamatory descriptions through their Martha character – with FH outright saying in her docs that she has NEVER stalked Gadd, never sexually assaulted him and is not a convicted stalker is.
The show features the character Martha doing and going through all these things – and Fiona claims that Netflix has made the audience believe that this is all factual and about her… which she says is BS.
Harvey says Netflix failed to do the necessary research to uncover the true story – and that’s why… she says they should be on the hook legally. She is suing for defamation, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, right of publicity violations and more.
She is seeking more than $50 million in damages.
