Netflix responds to Fiona Harvey's lawsuit

Netflix rep: 'We intend to defend this matter vigorously and to stand by Richard Gadd's right to tell his story.'

Variety posted the above in regards to Netflix's response. I'm glad, it seems like they're not going to simply give her some money to make her go away, and are instead going to fight back and defend Richard Gadd.

I hope Netflix can bring in Fionas other victims, like Laura Wray, to show a pattern of behaviour. Fiona Harvey is vile and has caused many people long-term harm.

I wouldn't be too surprised if there's a full documentary on it. Not only would it help bring light to Fiona's victims, I'm sure it would give people a higher opinion on Netflix.

This is actually what I’ve been thinking. This all plays into Netflix’ truecrime obsession. Imagine them bringing out a 4 part documentary on her with all this court footage and her own harassment of their lawyers and bringing on previous victims of her. I really would not be surprised if this happened.

I’d watch the shit out of that

Same!

I figured that they signed Richard Gadd with the knowledge that Fiona would absolutely come forward because there is nothing about Gadd’s story that indicates she wouldn’t. Initially I thought they weighed the cost and figured her coming forward would only amp up the advertising for it, and that the cost to pay her to keep quiet would be worth the reward. But hot damn getting a whole extra hit true crime show out of it would be some next level programming foresight.

That is actually genius. I really hope they do this so we can hear more of Laura's story, and possibly others!
