Baby Reindeer’ inspiration sues Netflix for $170 mn

A British woman named Fiona Harvey is suing Netflix for $170 million, claiming she was falsely portrayed as the stalker in the hit series “Baby Reindeer.” Harvey alleges the show’s claim of being a “true story” is a lie, and that she did not harass or assault the show’s creator Richard Gadd as depicted. The lawsuit accuses Netflix and Gadd of defamation, emotional distress, and negligence by broadcasting lies about her for profit without verifying facts. Netflix intends to vigorously defend Gadd’s right to tell his story.
