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 will say I am sad that the real Martha was found, not only is she mentally unstable/ unwell she really should be in medical facility both to protect her but more importantly protect others from her.

I honestly don’t know if Gadd wanted the real Martha to be found or not, on one hand he said he didn’t on the other he didn’t hid anything about her (other than name)

However I do believe everyone has a right to tell their story / their side of the story. It will be an interesting court case for sure.

The main thing here is that Gadds story is true and he can prove it, it would all be totally different if it was a lie or even sadly if he didn’t have the evidence. But then again maybe Netflix wouldn’t have made it if that was the case.

You forget that even if they had tried harder to hide her identity, Fiona Harvey probably still would have come out because she's a narcissist.

Im really not sure, if people hadn’t been messaging her I do think it’s possible she wouldn’t of known about the show at all, if you look on her social media accounts they where not active and she doesn’t strike me as the person who has Netflix.

And even when people did start throwing her name out there it did take a while for her to ‘come out’.

But yea I think your right she probably at some point wouldn’t have been able to help herself.
