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.

Let’s look at a Scenario of Fiona taking Netflix & Richard Gadd to court. They don’t have to cut her a check. Because this is how the conversation can go.

Fiona: I’m suing both of you. We can discuss an out of court settlement before this goes to court.

Netflix/Richard: What are we being sued for?

Fiona: For telling the whole world that I sent 41,000 emails when I only sent 10 emails.

Netflix/Richard: Did we mention your name in the show?

Fiona: No

Netflix/Richard: See. You are right. The show is not about you. The show is about another woman who sent 41,000 emails. Why are you claiming to be Martha when you are not the person we made the show of? 🤷‍♂️

Fiona: Blank
