But how much of “Baby Reindeer” creator Richard Gadd’s fictionalized retelling of a life-altering encounter with a serial stalker is actually true?

In June, the woman who allegedly inspired the stalker character in “Baby Reindeer” sued Netflix for negligence and defamation.

Fiona Harvey, the woman who allegedly inspired the character of Martha in Richard Gadd’s stalker drama ‘Baby Reindeer,’ has sued Netflix for defamation.

Harvey’s complaint disputes Netflix’s depiction of Martha as a twice-convicted stalker who sexually assaults Gadd’s character, Donny Dunn, and is sentenced to five years in prison for her actions.

Gadd has said that a considerable effort was made to obscure the identity of his real stalker when making “Baby Reindeer.”
