You will soon come to grips with the fact that the woman Piers interviewed told the truth, and NETFLIX therefore lied to you. You are having problems with this because it triggers within you the subconscious awareness that Israeli and British officials and media personalities are lying to you about Gaza.

[@Kittenwhisperer24]

Fiona is off her tits on something, just hope she gets the help she desperately needs. I have watched the interview (which Piers proved what a world class journalist he truly is) twice and watched out for the following 1) she has done her homework on piers and was quick to remind him of his age and also the reason she chose piers to Do this interview 2) When she is lying because she does tell a lot of fibs she looks up or down but never at piers, she drinks a gallon of water too 3) the afore mentioned degree and about her exams 4) she denounced the emails and then says so what it she did send that many emails there are worse things than a few emails (41,000 which is 118 a day for a year) Richard did state that he needs a licence to make the story note TV friendly so the courthouse scene etc. having said that it’s easy to find out if Fiona has ever been served an harassment order. Also Richard has NEVER said who it was she is the one wanting her 15 minutes of fame and realised if she is gonna Sue Netflix she will get millions if it’s ruled in her favour but I cannot see how Netflix or Gadd can say yep it was her they have played the anonymity card and it’s her that’s come out kicking off Think to bring it all in point Piers should interview Richard

[@daisychic]

My thoughts are, yeah she’s probably like the character in the series and embarrassed as well as delusional and in denial about what transpired between her and Richard - but what about the man who sexually abused Richard Gadd? The man he had PTSD/revelations about that prompts him to personally admit that he should actually be reporting that man to the police rather than a lonely, mentally-ill, woman who was so infatuated and obsessed with him that she ultimately stalked and harassed him, which is also considered criminal behavior, which she obviously needs diagnosed and treated for the mental illness that drives her actions. What about the sexual assault from the man in the tv and film industry who actually committed the crime of raping Richard Gadd? Why aren’t the Internet sleuths searching, stalking, and threatening him? I’m sure he could be found, too, especially if Richard’s friends during that time leaked the man’s name. I would like to see him try and explain himself in an interview/interrogation like this woman.

[@kellykirk4244]

She should have said “yes I was in love. Yes I was very confused based on the mixed signals he gave me. (Bc when you watch the series you can see the bad decisions Richard made too) Yes I reached out to him too many times. But no, I did not attack him, and no I have never been convicted of a crime”.

At 7;21. Here's where the people involved will have to answer if this ends up in a civil trial. They all said this was based on fact and truthful events. They never stated the series is "loosely based on events that took place." The hook to get viewers is that it is not a work of fiction like a Hollywood movie. The series was promoted as based on real events. The prison sentence could be challenged. That is important to any case since the alleged stalker in the series actually was found guilty by the courts as a stalker and then sentenced. This is essential to her case if she files it. As a lawyer she would have a ruined reputation. There is an allegation by the producers and writers of the series that she now has a criminal record.

Amazing the resembles and attitude are spot on between the actress and this woman!

[@NcboreasVapes]

All I can say is this doesn't appear to be a true story at all. So how did Gadd and Netflix get away with that statement? Very strange set up.

The young blonde woman's voice reminds me of the annoying batista in Loudermilk.

[@kr50401]

Haha yes! “Do you want cray-am?” Fucking annoying and the vocal fry to make herself sound like an expert is so fucking transparent 😅

[@Larathelegend]

The law degree when she wouldn’t tell her grade was quite weird

[@Fabio-du1ec]

Did Maddie Hale say that she drank a lot? At the same time accusing Martha to not be 100% fine?

[@helenafagerstrom8970]

Since the film is based on a true story and the ressemblance to Harvey is accurate, it would be interesting to see the outcome of suing in court. Harvey could stand a chance, actually!

'every law student i know knows their marks' - the 20-something year old who likely knows students fresh out of graduation. She got her degree, not honours, in 13 different subjects in law, about 35 years before her interview. There are so many people who don't think very far and just grasp onto what they see or hear.

Susan Boyle is a lovely gifted and talented woman; she is NOTHING like Fiona Harvey.

[@jodyvw.9741]

And she served 9 mos., the same time it takes to deliver a full term baby.

[@karenm8239]

Erm, she hasn't been to prison. She wasn't charged. And apparently the show ends telling you it was fictional for the drama

[@mareemartin9116]

The Sullivans was on at 7:30 weeknights. Had a bit of a thing for Tom Sullivan 😂

[@debmccudden242]

Yes the actress that played mrs mangle played mrs jessop in the Sullivans

[@grayza2988]

So whers the video of richards confession while doing stand up teling his storey of what happend or was that fiction no one seems to talk about that only talk about what marther supposedley done

[@who_godbless1520]

Is there any police records to prove she did serve any time

[@woodside223]

Sounds like Lorraine Kelly haha 😄

[@neslihanpala3961]

Everytime she lies she drinks water

[@Sisterfleet]

I thought she had to be a paid actor and this is all a big Netflix reality show for season 2 material based on the public's reaction

[@elainestewart6295]

Ian big mistake mentioning Susan Boyle. Please Applogise to her as I don't tnink why she should been even brought into it apart from being Scottish and has a slight learning disability.

[@LadyGabriela-77.]

With a green spot in his face? What is she trying to say?

[@hamarana]

He let´s it very clear that he wasn´t very normal either. In fact he shows that, as human, that can be part of us all. We may play with fire sometimes or go into dark alleys within = ourselves.. and these walks can lead us into trouble.. In a way she is saying that we are no saints , that we may poke a lion with a short stick one day on another in our lives and that´s part of being human too!
