A woman believed to be the inspiration behind the character Martha in hit Netflix series Baby Reindeer has said she is going to sue Netflix and creator-turned-star Richard Gadd over the “defamatory” depiction.

Fiona Harvey said she has been “forced” into telling her side of the story after receiving death threats from “internet sleuths” following the release of the Netflix show.

Media lawyer Mark Stephens joins Talk to discuss whether Netflix could be sued by Harvey. He says that online sleuths had identified Fiona Harvey despite Netflix's efforts to anonymize her, and argues it would be possible for to take legal action if she can demonstrate she has suffered "serious harm".

In the drama series inspired by the real-life experiences of comedian and writer Gadd, his character Donny is stalked by a woman named Martha Scott after he serves her a free cup of tea in the pub where he works.

On Piers Morgan Uncensored, Ms Harvey repeatedly denied stalking Gadd in real life, describing the show as “a work of fiction, a work of hyperbole”.
