Fiona Harvey, the real-life inspiration for the stalker character in the Netflix series "Baby Reindeer," is suing the streaming giant for defamation and emotional distress, seeking over $170 million. The show, based on creator Richard Gadd's personal experience, portrays a fictionalized version of a stalking incident with Harvey. Despite Netflix's claims that the series is a true story, Harvey's lawsuit argues that it damaged her reputation and attracted death threats. As viewers tried to uncover the real identities behind the characters, Gadd emphasized that the show is based on emotional truth, not specific facts. Harvey disputes the portrayal of her character as a convicted stalker and denies any sexual assault allegations. This legal battle highlights the blurred lines between reality and fiction in the entertainment industry.
