Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd accused Fiona Harvey of stalking him.

Harvey alleged the show falsely implied that she sexually assaulted Gadd and gouged his eyes.

She filed a US$ 170 m lawsuit claiming the show defamed her by depicting Martha as a convicted stalker.

Judge ruled that the show was wrongly billed as a “true story” when Netflix “made no effort” to fact check Gadd ’s story or disguise Harvey as the inspiration.
