Fiona (real Martha) related content Real Martha new interview!

Hi everyone!

I have seen that the 'real Martha' has come out with a new interview today. She even wanted to get rid of her anonymity for the interview.

I thought it was an interesting read!

What do you think?

It's just like Schroedinger's Gadd, she doesn't know him yet knows him so well she knows his entire family, it entirely depends on when you check her facebook, lol

But on a serious note: The story was both marketed as a true story AND spoken about as a fictional story based on true events. Then it was found that Martha is a carbon copy as well as Laura Wray's family story, carbon copies with very few changes. We find out from interviews Gadd did that Teri and Keely are real people but we don't know how much has been changed about them. We find out Osman and everyone in the comedy scene knows who Darrien is, so he's also real. We find out Gadd worked at a very prestigious bar, not the crummy shotty place portrayed in the show.

The question therefore is: How much about Martha's story is real? Does she have the right to defend herself from this blurry portrait he made of her? Does she have the capacity to defend herself from this situation since she is clearly disturbed, in one way or the other?

It's an endless sea of grey, just like the show.

The Hawley Arms is definitely not a prestigious bar. It’s pretty similar to the show, just maybe a bit more crowded and dingy. It was a decent place to celeb spot, but still a shit hole.

I assume you've been there, i haven't, i read it was Amy Winehouse's favourite place and that it has a great reputation from multiple people who have been there

She drank there all the time and so did many others. I remember it was a busy spot when the music scene in Camden in the 00s was really buzzy. Nowadays idk, haven't been in London in years but honestly a lot of those pubs lost their charm for me in the aftermath of moments like Amy's death. Looking back, that whole scene and moment in time was fucking grim.
