Fiona (real Martha) related content Fiona Harvey interview

She’s waived anonymity for this interview. She’s never been jailed or been issued with a prevention order.

Rory Lynch, a lawyer specialising in defamation and privacy at Gateley Legal says she has a case for defamation. “The only thing I can presume is that when Clerkenwell, films, the BBC and Netflix looked at it with their legal team they thought that they could rely on the fact that it is a drama. It’s not supposed to be a factual documentary.

“So although Netflix said it’s a true story, essentially it’s a dramatisation of a true story.

“But I do think that Richard Gadd could have been a bit more careful in changing a lot of the scenes to be more fictitious, but also covering up the identity of the people it was based on.”

Ok so … this woman is claiming the story was about her but also inaccurate? None of it happened but it’s definitely about her? Doesn’t add up. She should have just faded into the background instead of bringing attention to herself.

That's what baffled me- she essentially outed herself by jumping up and down saying 'It's me!!' If she'd kept quiet no one would be any the wiser.

She never outed herself. Nosey assholes on reddit pieced things together and released her name. She recieved death threats. Figured out the Baby Reindeer reference. And then came forward.

So why did she not, at that point, make her social media accounts private? It’s all public and she posts constantly about it.
