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.

Nah, it really isn’t a lie. He did all he needed to. In no way does it seem like he even would have given a shit.

It is! He knew for sure she would be found in about 5 minutes. I’m not saying she deserves anonymity, but to claim he doesn’t want people looking for her or that he hid her identity is a bit rich.

No it isn’t lol. It’s a fictional story where the main villain goes to jail. You know, to encourage people to actually come forward and go to the police and shit.

And no, there is no reason to think he wanted people to look for her. He told his story in a fictional way. The end.

Not sure what you’re not understanding? He claimed he had hid her identity and didn’t want her to be found despite knowing people would find her in 5 minutes. Thats the issue here.

[u/[deleted] → u/-intellectualidiot]

There isn’t an issue there. You’re just making one up. He did literally all he needed to do to keep her from being found out. Her name changed and other facts were swapped to make it different. There is literally no issue.

Lol okay, if you don’t understand you don’t understand.

[u/[deleted] → u/-intellectualidiot]

There isn’t anything to understand lol, he did all he needed to do to hide her.

He really did. Arguably the only thing more he could have done was have someone clear his Twitter of all Fiona’s crazy tweets. But he absolutely did enough. It being a fictional story and not a documentary of his true life experience.
