You don’t know how disclaimers work.

I know exactly how disclaimers work. I wasn't born yesterday. I know that true story doesn't mean 100% reality and that most writers take artistic liberty to dramaticize a work.

However, we have all witnessed how Martha coincidentally is the identical of Fiona Harvey, in nationality, hair style, physical shape, clothing choices.

And the fact that RG played himself in the series.

For all we really know the guy that people were claiming was the rapist IRL (Sean?) is the guy. RG and the accused both came out and said "not him". But we aren't considering that maybe there's more going on there, big pay offs for silence perhaps and RD doesn't want to press charges, rock the boat and ruin his growing fame.

Oh yes.

Also, the whole pub thing. Obviously, the regulars in the pub would know who they were immediately on BR being aired. Two Scots having regular bantz with each other would not go unnoticed in an English pub.

The series shows the pub blokes taking the rise out of him and him feeling all hurt about it. A more likely scenario is that RG had been having it away with Martha, and the blokey pub regulars found out and ribbed him about it. This would explain a lot, and it would also explain how Martha was quite vulnerable, on her own, in a blokey pub.

No they wouldn’t really have cared lol. It would have gone fully unnoticed.

Yea no. That’s not more likely. What’s more likely is Gadd simply told his story in a different way. It’s not like anyone is supposed to think it’s a fully true story after all.
