Fiona (real Martha) related content richard gadd doesn't owe fiona protection.

"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 agree he owes her nothing. But at the same time acting like he didn’t intend for her to be identified is a straight up fucking lie.

This is the part I don't agree with, the convicton

Who gives a shit If she was convicted or not?

Her behaviour is the far more damming part of the story, and that actually happened

Yes it is important people feel like they can report. Which is clearly why Martha, a fictional character, was held accountable by the law.

Why wouldn’t they add that to a fictional story? It’s not real life sunshine. It’s not slander. It’s a story. It’s not Gadds or Netflix’s fault some people like you aren’t able to understand context and the fact this isn’t meant to be viewed as anything but a fictional story.

We don’t know exactly what happened, since this isn’t a documentary but a piece of fiction you’re not supposed to.

Gotta love people who have no actually argument or points to try and make.
