Fiona Harvey Files $170 Million Lawsuit Against Netflix Over 'Baby Reindeer' Portrayal

Fiona Harvey has filed a $170 million lawsuit against Netflix, claiming defamation and other damages over her portrayal as Martha Scott in the series 'Baby Reindeer', which is billed as a true story. Harvey's lawyer, Richard Roth, asserts that Netflix and the show's creator, Richard Gadd, fabricated details about her, including false claims of her being a convicted stalker and sexual assaulter. The lawsuit demands the release of thousands of emails and messages to substantiate the show's claims. Harvey's legal team argues that calling the series a 'true story' without verifying its accuracy constitutes reckless misconduct. Roth believes the case will likely go to court, where Netflix executives and Gadd will testify. Netflix has stated its intention to defend Gadd's right to tell his story.
