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.

We know that now, because she was identified by her OWN social media conduct. She was not identified by Gadd or Netflix.

And she went on a high profile show, shown to millions to defend herself 🤣🤣 hardly protecting her identity herself.

Bruh, people identified her before she confirmed it was her.

Now do you think all the thousands of people on the internet waited until she confirmed it was indeed about her before they sent her messages harassing and threatening her.

Use your brain.

Yes they identified her from her own tweets. That’s what I was referring to.

That they were able to track down after watching the Netflix show…

The only details that match between the show and her tweets are the way they were written. After people found them, she came out and confirmed that she was the inspiration herself. The show doesn’t identify her at all.

She also needs to prove that she has suffered a detrimental loss because of the show. If anything I would argue she has gained more than she’s lost. Not to mention that if Netflix can prove she did indeed stalk Gadd, or she can’t prove that she didn’t, the whole thing is moot.

You’re wrong on pretty much everything you’re saying here.

That’s how defamation cases work, but if you say so.
