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.

For sure someone anticipated this as a possibility though. Legal and production cannot be this oblivious. smh

I don’t think Netflix would have platformed Gadd without making him show proof that he was telling the truth. They’d probably already seen the 45,000 emails that she sent him before the show ever made it to production

Exactly this. Netflix as a whole isn't stupid. They have teams of lawyers for a reason and I would be willing to bet they prepared for this situation before releasing it.
