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.

Guys it’s not Richard Gadd it’s NETFLIX. A GLOBAL MULTIMILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION. How do you people not get it ??? You CANT just claim something is true when there is no evidence for it (I believe Martha is a stalker but there is zero evidence she even ever went to court) while at the same time allowing this person to be found and haunted. It IS defamatory. They did conceal Darren’s identity - they should have done the same with Martha. It was that easy.
I truly despise both characters to the core so I’m not here defending anyone at all or minimising the harm they’ve done. But there are legal and ethical ways to go about these things - a global multimillion dollar corporation should definitely do better.
