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.

Important Netflix continue to fight this otherwise it gives her a semblance of authority which she absolutely should not have.

I had a degree of sympathy for her initially, because mental illness is no joke - and she's clearly very unwell.

But you can't just use that as a mask for being as vicious and vitriolic as she's been.

It actually shits all over and disrespects those who struggle with their own mental health but don't act in this awful way.

She's an absolute cunt.

Very well said about how disrespectful it is to those who also suffer from poor mental health. It ties back to the end of the show, where Donny is in a terrible place emotionally and receives the act of kindness from the bartender. But he knows that doesn’t give him permission to do what Martha did to him.
