Baby Reindeer Star Richard Gadd Won't Comment on THIS Ever Again | E! News

[@awhi3765]

It is highly frustrating the backlash he is getting for telling his story. As a woman I stand with him and Netflix. He has no obligation to protect his abuser. Absolutely none. That’s the responsibility of the legal system and mental health services. Let than man have the same freedom as any female victim would. When Amber Heard ran to the media lying did any of them care about what would happen to Johnny? Because his stalker is crazy doesn’t make him any less a victim and come to think of it what stalker isn’t crazy?

[@K-a-i.]

media didn't care about Johnny but should learn from their mistakes and be more careful next time. Just because someone is a victim doesn't mean all he and Netflix are saying is true. In the end legal system protected him and stalking stopped.

[@LindaC616]

I appreciate him setting boundaries for himself. I wish it was clearer that it was fictional…it starts with “this is a true story”.

[@JackV-tw8bw]

It says in the credits that the show it's fictionalised and dramatised

[@nancykozorezova3549]

I mean fundamentally it's not fiction at all, there are just SOME added components for dramatization.

[@jeffreywillstewart]

@@JackV-tw8bwI couldn't find that in the many credits. Netflix automatically goes to the next episode after 5 seconds unless you manually click to watch credits. As soon as it came out I saw it as a cash grab by Gagg. If this is supposed to be an amazing work of art, let's see what else Gagg comes out with. As an artist , I hate one trick ponies ,( or reindeer.)

[@RobinJusticeWoods]

​@@JackV-tw8bwDoesn't matter, especially when most people don't even watch the credits. I've watched multiple legal analyses of this case and in court what's going to take precedent is the fact that Netflix released multiple promos and had on their website this was a true story along with the beginning of the show stating it was a true story. All Fiona's team has to do is prove that any reasonable viewer would be misled by these statements, which is the truth because I've seen a lot of comments and videos of people frustrated because they believed the entire story was true.

[@RobinJusticeWoods]

​@@nancykozorezova3549When you add things that are untrue then yes it makes the story fiction. That's when publishers like Netflix carry a responsibility to say that it's based on a true story or based on true events. By claiming it's a true story any reasonable person believes the story is completely true, not partially true. Words matter.

[@TheBeanEnthusiast]

Maybe he just healed enough to finally set some boundaries! He said himself facts were changed, but the majority of the events really happened and the emotional core of the story is ultimatley true. As a survivor myself, theres too much I can relate to. The story is about trauma. Its not about names. He doesnt owe us names or anything.

[@Bunny11344]

True but he has to understand what he puts out the internet will look. Can’t have ur cake and eat it too, as in making it into a neflix series

[@tristanrivera6038]

I’ve seen Morgan criticize Gadd for putting in the Martha goes to jail part for not ever actually happening, but that’s one of the parts that’s fiction. I think the reason he had his tv show version of himself able to get his stalker thrown in jail is because that’s probably what Gadd wish he had done in real life with his own stalker. He wrote a show from a place of reflection on events that had already transpired, so of course he’s gonna have his characters make the same mistakes, but ultimately able to be more enlightened in the end as he was when we wrote the show. But what is true was there being an article about Fiona stalking her ex-employer and her family. Even though she denies her English version of a restraining order that she had served to her, by saying it was a filing error, which is a wild lie, that event and article does exist. Fiona and Martha are mirror opposites with the lies they tell, and the way they name drop having lawyer friends and connections and also criticizing Gadd’s man hood and his line of work. Gadd was able to portray his stalker down to even the smallest of mannerisms. I do believe there are over 40,000 emails, and that there was over 100 letters sent to him. And that he does have every single voicemail saved from Fiona. And I also bet he is being triggered emotionally by that fact his stalker was on tv. Gadd is a brilliant writer, and did what every single writer and creative ultimately dreams of doing with their own personal past trauma, which is write your trauma out and put it in front of the world as a way to convey your journey in life, as the journey may align and enlighten another in their own drama they live through at this very moment. Baby Reindeer is brilliant and truly cinema at its finest.

[@michellepetersen5121]

He is right. The real people should be left alone😉

[@SaymSsik]

Everyone knows how people are on the internet these days. You have to be some kind of naive to think that nobody would search for these people.

[@Esenabros]

The only part of the movie that is wrong is part where she goes to jail. The should just send her to jail. I’m sure if it’s true other way round, the man will be in prison.

[@LindaC616]

And what about the man who assaulted him? Why isn't he going to jail?

[@karenmbbaxter]

I think this woman is also mentally ill and needs to be seen by a professional.......She outed herself because if she beleived it wasn't about her she would have said that it's not her........She went on the Piers Morgan show because she is obsessed with 5 minutes of fame......She was paid 250 pounds for the interview. I think Piers has also taken advantage of a woman who is mentally ill.

[@casie1124]

I thought we didn't know if she actually went to jail or not. In her interview he says that those kinds of records aren't public in the uk so he couldn't say if she was being truthful or not

[@alwoo5645]

yeah so not a true story even though they said it was....

[@janpsillos5513]

If he was so worried about people not being identified, why make people think it was a true story and then so easy to find the people. Something stinks. Stalking is an awful thing to do, and some of us have been stalked, and many are doing it to some degree in seeking out info on these people.

[@mollyram2997]

It WAS a true story, some things were dramatized it says at the end of each episode. If Fiona didn't want to be found then maybe she shouldn't have left so many tweets to him on the internet... you can't erase a digital trail. He has 40 thousand emails from her... how tf do you cover that up AND get your story out? Oh Well, she was found. Big deal.. Netflix did nothing wrong. This is the age of the internet ppl would've found her no matter what. The also found the lawyer lady she had stalked prior to Richard... so there's that. She has confirmed Fiona stalked her & they had to have massive security in every building bc of her.

[@carrington2949]

Exactly

[@amyt2035]

Yeah that's what I just can't make sense of. Why make her Scottish in the show too, with the same hair colour/cut, the same physical build, the same legal background, the same childhood story, the same exact quotes she used on social media. I mean he could have called the show "Little Fox" instead of "Baby Reindeer", he could have made her boast about being a doctor instead of a lawyer, he could have changed her race/nationality, he could have said "I'd park in your harbour" instead of "I'd hang your curtains"...

[@LindaC616]

She did not out herself completely. He printed the tweets verbatim and people were able to seek her out online and find her. Because some people are nosy and like a challenge or a puzzle. So once she was outed and was being harassed, she came forward.

[@mrs.berganzo]

@@LindaC616 thank you for clarifying that to me... In that case, the people of the internet has to stop harassing her too and she also has to surpass and ignore them because if both parties won't stop she's gonna get mentally sicker. This really isn't gonna end well if everyone is so triggered and lack self control like this. I mean, it was made especially for the victim to move on from his experience. We really aren't helping both parties. I'm gonna stop following this thread now as much as I can.

They both need to recover. it's all about acknowledging and breaking a bad habit and replacing it with a good and more resourceful one like the arts for example.

@mrs.berganzo well, one could argue that he's already working on the creative side, and he claims it's to work through it all. I just find it odd. Someone else, and I can't remember if it was someone who had seen the play or not, mentioned him and his friends joking about her, making it sound as though when he was with her it was because he had no one else and he was just using her. And that clicked for me, even though I have no evidence that that is true.

[@jbt8922]

Why did Martha resemble the real person if he was trying not to reveal who it was. The resemblance is uncanny.

[@RobinJusticeWoods]

Well he might be forced to in court. What he should do is do the right thing and clarify what is the facts and what he added for dramatic effect. I actually don't blame him, I blame Netflix for repeatedly claiming this was a true story and misleading the public. Richard never claimed that, he's always said he changed some things in the story. As for him being frustrated about Internet sleuths he should have expected it would happen. Of course it would happen. And I feel now he does have an obligation to specify what is fact and what is fiction because Netflix, who he partnered with, mislead the public on this. Although I imagine lawyers are strongly advising him not to. Especially Netflix lawyers. As for Fiona it's clear she did stalk him along with others, but she also still has rights like anyone else. Just because she did certain bad things doesn't give anyone the right to lie about other things. And I'm definitely not saying Richard lied. Like I said he's always been honest that he added things for dramatic effect. It's Netflix who misrepresented the series by claiming multiple times in promos, on their website, and also the beginning of the show itself, then under oath in the Scottish Parliament, that this was a true story. The Netflix rep at parliament even called her a convicted stalker, which unless they have evidence they haven't released to the public or the Scottish Parliament which they specifically requested two weeks ago proof of conviction, it looks like it's a complete fabrication. Again. Not Richards fault. That's on Netflix.

[@kristaking1]

Fiona's nephew, Kyle Muir, came out on Facebook on Piers Morgan's thread and called his aunt a liar. He says she went under her maiden name Muir NOT Harvey and was jailed for 4 months for stalking. Her full name, Fiona Muir Harvey, is touched upon in the beginning of Piers interview she said she dropped the Muir and goes by Harvey...so MAYBE people should be looking up her last name Muir for the stalking charges not the last name Harvey.

She is and she's gonna get millions out of Netflix. They'll probably settle and sign a disclosure agreement because I doubt they'd want it to go to court. If they did lie about some of the things in the show, like her being arrested and sentenced to prison for 9 months, and that didn't happen, she has a clear win.
