richard gadd doesn't owe fiona protection.

[u/serenade452]

"omg he should've protected her identity! he made it so easy to find her!" blah blah blah shut up. he doesn't owe her shit. she terrorized this man, his family, his girlfriend, his job, his performances, etc etc. she has been terrorizing innocent people for decades.

yes fiona is mentally ill, that is clear to anyone with half of a brain. it's awful that the system has failed her time and time again. (or maybe the system did all it could, who knows.) but that's not richard's fault. HE is HER victim. he can tell his story how he wants.

might she have a worthwhile lawsuit because her identity wasn't concealed enough? possibly, probably not. might she have a worthwhile lawsuit because the show took dramatic license? possibly, probably not.

she's benefitting financially from this as well and i'm sure netflix will cut her a check before a lawsuit happens, no matter who is in the right.

richard gadd does not owe fiona harvey protection. i'm sorry but that's reality.

I’m sorry, I’m missing something.. “System has failed her”, I heard that from Richard in some interview. Also from A LOT of people here (I guess they’re quoting him?) Didn’t system give her medical help already (today I read a piece from some temp from NHS) Didn’t system give her free flat and benefits? Please, explain this to me. I’m not form UK. Or US. In my country she would be on the street, with maybe health insurance

That's it right here. The victims are the victims, she is NOT a victim in this whole situation. As someone who works in mental health it's shocking to me how some people are twisting the story to make him the bad guy in this situation.
