"I'm The Victim": Real-Life 'Baby Reindeer' Stalker Says She Is Planning To Sue Netflix
The alleged real-life stalker from 'Baby Reindeer' has spoken out, following the show's success on Netflix.
If you are not living under a rock, you will definitely be aware of the hit Netflix series 'Baby Reindeer'. The seven-episode show is a British black comedy drama-thriller, created by Richard Gadd. The new English web series on Netflix is an adaptation of Gadd's autobiographical one-man show of the same name and it is based on the comedian's real-life experience of being stalked and sexually assaulted. The new English web series on Netflix is being talked about on social media for weeks now. In the latest entertainment news, the alleged real-life stalker from the show has spoken out, following the show's success on Netflix.
An unnamed woman, who is claiming to be the inspiration behind Martha in the new English web series on Netflix, has told Daily Mail that she is considering legal action for defamation following the release of the show, reported Hollywood Reporter.
“He’s using Baby Reindeer to stalk me now. I’m the victim. He’s written a bloody show about me," the alleged real-life stalker told Daily Mail.
She has also claimed that Gadd’s script amounted to “bullying an older woman on television for fame and fortune” and that, despite his attempts to hide her identity, she has received several online “death threats and abuse from Richard Gadd supporters", the Hollywood Reporter stated.
For the unversed, the new English web series on Netflix follows Richard Gadd, a struggling comedian who ends up meeting a lonely woman at the bar where he works.
The woman is then revealed to be a serial stalker and over the course of several years, she ends up sending him more than 41,000 emails, 744 tweets, 100 pages of letters and 350 hours of voicemails.
Richard Gadd had earlier said that he was not able to tell the exact story for legal and artistic reasons.
“People I love, have worked with, and admire (including Sean Foley) are unfairly getting caught up in speculation,” Gadd posted in an Instagram Story last week.
“Please don’t speculate on who any of the real-life people could be. That’s not the point of our show," he added.
