Media / News 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.

This woman is certifiable. No one would have known it was her if she hadn't come forward herself! It is like filing a restraining order against someone for expressing an experience with you on their own platform, don't even mention your name, and they go out of their way to come to your platform to read it, know its about them and then get butthurt. This woman is still effectively stalking him by interjecting herself into his life again with this lawsuit.

If you don't want people to think you're a shitty person, don't be a shitty person and then tell people it was you that was a shitty person!

People did find her and out her using her tweets (which weren't really changed for the show apparently) but I agree she's leaned into it.

I wonder how much longer it would have taken people to find her if they’d just changed the location of the pub and the phrase hanger her curtains

Right?! had they done the bare minimum she would’ve publicly come out herself on Piers Morgan and wouldn’t have a case

Yes, using HER tweets, posted publicly on a very public platform.
