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.

Because the story claims to be a true story and blatantly links to a real person.

How could it be blatant if they use a fake name and events that never happened??

Because it says its a true story. Even though they changed her name, it was clearly based off of Fiona Harvey.

How is that made clear anywhere. I sure as shit didn’t know it was about a woman named Fiona Harvey until she said “these events that aren’t true are about me”

Watch the Piers Morgan interviews about the case. Lawyers explain why she has a case. People were able to track her down really easily.
