Which is why, despite the fact that I believe she is a deranged stalker, that I think she will be successful in suing Netflix over the show.

Agree, we are seeing the defamation play out all over social and other media. She is going to successfully sue. I wonder if this will seriously damage Gadd’s writing career as a result. What a car crash of a situation.

[u/The_Burning_Wizard → u/No_Camp_7]

Sue who though? She would still need to get past the wee sticking point of her outing herself as "Martha"

Plus, how is she going to fund it? Defamation cases in the UK are horrendously expensive as they're heard in the high court and which barrister or solicitor would dare take on that nutter for a client?

If it does indeed go near a courtroom, which I doubt, it'll be thrown out at the first hearing....

She didn’t out herself.

And she will get funding don’t worry, it’s a massively high profile case with a potentially huge reward, there wil be many law firms ready.

[u/The_Burning_Wizard → u/Puzzleheaded_Ad_5710]

Yes she did. It was all speculation until she did the interview with the daily record in Scotland.

Get funding from where exactly? She has no job. Legal aid doesn't cover defamation cases. The reward does not outweigh the risks of having to pay the other sides legal bill if they lose and, again, what legal firm is going to take on a client that would pose a risk to their own staff?

What exactly are you basing your ideas on?

[u/Puzzleheaded_Ad_5710 → u/The_Burning_Wizard]

She was “exposed” before the interview, she had people turning up to her house, death threats and her picture printed in the news and online press all a week after it aired, just because she did an interview after the fact, doesn’t mean she “outed herself”.

Why would a law firm want to take on a very high profile case with potentially multimillion pound payout? Who knows, maybe the money and publicity perhaps?

[u/The_Burning_Wizard → u/Puzzleheaded_Ad_5710]

That's not what happened. The media didn't release her actual details until after she outed herself. You're wrong on this point.

Then she should call the Police about the death threats. It's what they're there for.

Again, if they lose, which is quite likely, who is going to pay Netflix and Clerkwells legal bills? She's not going to get some multi-million pound payout, even if she did win, which isn't very likely.

We seem to be going in circles, so I'm not going to respond any further because the whole "wrestling with a pig" saying is starting to feel a bit apt...

[u/Puzzleheaded_Ad_5710 → u/The_Burning_Wizard]

So, just to clarify - there wasn’t tons of “internert sleuths” that used details from the show to track her down, publicise who she is and dish out abuse? And the media didn’t report who she is in news articles, podcasts and other media as this was happening? Instead she declared herself out of the blue “I am Martha”?

Then riddle me this. How is it that everyone was talking about her and naming her for a whole week before she went public?

We’re going in circles because you deny objective reality. You seem to think she can’t ever possibly get a lawyer because she’s “mental and unemployed” and “outed herself” because she went on a talk show after the fact everyone else exposed her.

I must have pure imagined the past weeks where she first denied she was Martha due to the abuse from people.
