Fiona Harvey, a Scottish woman, is suing Netflix for defamation, negligence, and privacy violations, claiming the character Martha in the show Baby Reindeer is based on her and portrayed her falsely as a criminal. The lawsuit seeks over $170m in damages, stating that Netflix told "brutal lies" about her to millions of viewers. Richard Gadd, the show's creator, is at the center of the controversy, with allegations that Martha sexually assaulted him in the series. Despite Netflix claiming the show is based on real events, Ms Harvey denies the allegations and is confident she will win the case. The lawsuit highlights the need for validation of truth before creating such content. This legal battle raises questions about the true story behind Baby Reindeer and the impact of fabricated narratives on individuals' lives.
