As someone who is dealing with a stalker, I feel they should be called out, NO OTHER PERSON should be subjected to the harm that a stalker causes and it will deter future stalking incidents because they can be exposed for their horrible and harmful choices. Healthy coping skills is a good thing and providing those is a good strategy. Stalking is a preventative problem I believe. Real consequences are effective. If you don’t want the results, then don’t make the choices that lead to them. Stalkers are also notorious for lying and denying the conscience choices they make. 😔😔😔

[@Oh-No-Its-Lizzie-Jo]

@MeanEileen916 - I'm so sorry you're going through this! Stay safe. I sincerely wish you all the very best 🙏 Please don't ever feel bad or guilty for calling authorities over something "small" because it almost ALWAYS escalates, and you are way too important to mess around with ignoring any of their garbage. Too late is too late. And I'm not saying this part facetiously- just be careful... don't accidentally tell the authorities (as a random example) that you received 41,000 emails when you actually only received 40,999 emails - because then apparently nobody will believe you because you got the specific number wrong, and your stalker might cling to that (oh how they love clinging and latching onto things!), and belabor the fact that you *lied* about that number to make them look bad, or assert that since you lied about that specific number of emails, then none of the rest is true either. I took a ton of time to type the rest of this reply, and then deleted everything about four or five times, and it's still gonna be "too long"😆 I don't like to talk about my own experiences, so I won't go into detail. Because reliving it is awful. Because it's trauma all over again to have tourists poke around in your life. Being stalked is harrowing, and insidious, and life-altering. But to those who speak out, bless you. And thank you. To say it's not easy is a gross understatement. And I'm so grateful that you're around to speak out! Because too many stalking victims lose their voices permanently. I'm so disappointed that so many people have rushed out to defend her, when they don't know what actually happened. I'm not defending him either, in particular- because I don't know what actually happened. What was presented to us is his *dramatized* version of his experience... which is different. And short of streaming a ticker tape at the bottom of the screen during the *entire* episode stating that some events/dialogue have been dramatized... what else can they ask for? Because people can miss the very beginning, people can miss the very end - people don't generally read anything if they don't feel it's strictly necessary anyway. Sometimes not even then, lol. As much as I'd like to see how these people would deal with it if *they* were in that situation? You're absolutely right, nobody should be subjected to being stalked and all the future ripples of suffering it causes. I truly wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Bring on his ex girlfriend, her mother, his mother, his father and Terri. They all allegedly dealt with her too. You don't just have to hear from Richard Gadd. You can hear from those around him. She may have went to a mental facility not jail and thus they could have sealed the records.

I thought they only met twice? Something ain’t adding up. She then went on to say they were not friends in any sense of the word then when asked about the emails she said it was friendly banter and they were all friends.. she quite literally says whatever fits her narrative in the moment.

Even as someone who is not a psychologist it was extremely clear that Fiona did not experience reality as it actually was.

I find it interesting that “Martha” and Fiona have similar appearances and characteristics. As well as, the person accused to be “Darrien.” I also find it interesting that he absolved the accused “Darrien” but not the accused “Martha.” Especially given the fact he still reached out to “Darrien” in the end and “chopped it up” as if everything was all good.

There's no denying that she needs help I think people are just cautious of this story because both his gf and his ex in the series said that he'd a liar and loves attention, the series started off saying it was a true story, and yet the imprisonment was fake and at the end it says that things were added in for drama and some things arnt true. HD knew she was ill yet he put himself in situation that could have been avoided which is also stated by the gf In the series, I think people are cautious that this series makes her out to be way more ill, way more crazy and way more violent than she actually Is and realistically she's just a lonely women with problems identifying reality and now there's people out here wishing her dead

You know they have done worse things behind closed doors and are only pretending to appear "godly". My point is - if you get shocked by him being brutally honest about something like this, it shows how little idea you have about how weird, illogical and sometimes sick and/or twisted humans' thoughts, urges and impulses TRULY are. It's disappointing. Especially considering that Piers is almost 2 times my age and has spoken to hundreds of highly intelligent people with differing opinions.

Surely the Netflix lawyers would've done their due diligence before making that truth claim

The moment she said she didn't watch it made her credibility very low in my opinion. I was ready to give her the benefit of the doubt but, a lawyer would never go on a interview with Piers without watching it first 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

Couldn’t agree more.

Of course she watched it

[@lindalondon1383]

Exactly, she had researched so much unimportant information about Piers yet hadn’t watched the series? Only heard about the rape scene that morning ??

[@misslornamae]

Of course she watched it or at least some 😂 she's too narcissistic to not check it out

[@Splyt__]

The thing is that nobody can deny is that she will know how easy the evidence is to acquire and she's still wanting to go ahead and sue. So she's either unbelievable dumb as a lawyer or she has a strong arguement that she's on the truths side.

[@queenofswords6463]

Are we all just gonna ignore that she was reaching back through her memory during the court scene to those dates the Judge stated? She was reaching back in her memory to validate if those dates were right!!!

Netflix should suspend the show. An investigation should follow. This is not far. Fiona was never spoken to before this show was released. The truth needs to come out

[@wissab2398]

So, they forgot to shed light on the rapist who assaulted the actor and instead focused on a poor woman who loved the man, yes she harassed him with numerous emails, but eventually, she would have stopped.What's even more ludicrous is that he slept with her just to regain his sexual performance, exploiting her to the fullest extent. Truly despicable. This is what you get when you like the wrong person, especially if he is ***. I have no sympathy whatsoever for the actor. Fiona is experiencing mental harm because of his series that made millions of pounds at her expense

Agreed. The problem is really the ‘This is a true story’ which certain parts aren’t. That said, I really don’t like the victim blaming that’s being put on Gadd. The conversation should realistically be centred around the two central issues and the traumatic damage that they cause. If Gadd were perfectly okay, that would be far more unusual than the reality that he’s damaged.

Love,Stalker Killer was a GREAT piece!!! Also by Netflix, also about a woman stalking a man, using social media. I’m so confused why Netflix didn’t use that format as opposed to a movie drama series. So I’m think it was because they were able to use artistic license but SAY that. Don’t say “this is a true story”

[@danimo17]

34:00 yaaas I had the exact same thought! The argument is its own rebuttal

[@letstalkaboutit7734]

Pierce is just insufferable. He literally refuses to allow guests with different perspectives than him EVER finish their points. The women on the panel LITERALLY WERE interrupted every time they spoke. It’s every interview. I want to watch his show because of the guest & topics, but it’s pointless because he doesn’t allow people he disagrees with to finish ANYTHING they have to say.

It's absolutely insane that anyone is questioning this. There are tweets where Fiona is clearly harassing Richard, telling him that she sent him a letter and that she'll "be by phone later." She openly admitted to having multiple phones and multiple emails. It's very clear that twitter is not the only place she was harassing him. It's obvious that details were changed to make the pacing work better. It was never framed as a documentary. It's a drama/thriller that was adapted from an hour long live comedy performance. The "true events" are obviously delivered in a dramatic way that will be engaging for the audience. If someone is able to sue for defamation over a series where the identities were never intended to be revealed but stalking cases almost never result in conviction, the UK judicial system is laughable.

[@lulunz6809]

I agree with you. It's absolutely taking advantage of a woman who is clearly delusional and now he's trying to turn her delusions into a reality??!! What Piers is missing is that the programme wasn't a documentary. He is telling his story of what happened.
