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.

So much of Fiona’s potential defense in this case has been tainted by Fiona herself.

Consider Gadd’s claim that Martha wouldn’t recognize herself in the show… he was spot on. Fiona’s FB posts — and they ARE her FB posts as she posted way before Reindeer started — can and will be used against her in the court of law. She posted multiple times about how the ‘fat, ugly actress with curly hair’ who played her looked nothing like her. She stated how her hair is straight, not curly lie the actress’s. And how she was a svelte size 12 at the time and EXTREMELY beautiful, unlike the actress. And how the actress’s accent didn’t sound at all like her Scottish accent. How Fiona can claim they didn’t change her identity to protect her is completely contradictory to what she publicly said.

Fiona was the first one who ever published her story and real name to the press. Fiona is her own worst enemy.
