A woman accused of being the real-life inspiration for the stalker character in the Netflix series "Baby Reindeer" is set to give her first interview since the show's release.
Fiona Harvey, from Aberdeenshire in Scotland, was identified by internet sleuths as the real-life Martha and has now sat down with Piers Morgan to share her side of the story.
In the series, writer and actor Richard Gadd recounted his experiences with a stalker, portraying Martha as someone who would show up at his workplace and send him hundreds of emails every day.
Although Gadd's character was named Donny in the show and Martha was played by Jessica Gunning, Fiona Harvey has come forward to address the accusations.
Real-life stalker from Baby Reindeer is set to give the first interview since the movie's release
Harvey, 58, is set to appear on Píe Morgan's chat show, Piers Uncensored, marking her first major television interview since the release of "Baby Reindeer."
The announcement of the interview generated excitement among users of the X-platform. However, Harvey later revealed in an interview with the Daily Record that she was not pleased with how the conversation with Morgan went.
Describing the interview as a "sparring match," Harvey claimed that Morgan repeatedly questioned her about the emails she was alleged to have sent to Gadd.
She expressed her dissatisfaction with Morgan's refusal to accept her denial of stalking Gadd, stating that she felt the interview was conducted rapidly and aggressively to catch her off guard.
Harvey also mentioned that Morgan had asked her if she loved Gadd, to which she responded with doubt, "You've got to be joking."
She expressed her belief that even if she had sent some emails, it did not make her guilty of the other accusations. Harvey felt that she had been set up and used during the interview.
The interview with Fiona Harvey is scheduled to air on Piers Uncensored at 3pm EST.
The controversy surrounding the alleged real-life inspiration for the character of Martha in "Baby Reindeer" has sparked the interest of viewers.
The actress was absolutely phenomenal in her role, one user said.
Probably wants to go on the interview to find her lost reindeer, the second user said.
As a person who has been stalked, typically the stalker is extremely narcissistic and thrives off of attention and ways to boost their ego. She’s going to just prove to people how much more of a freak of nature she is, the third user commented.
I mean that’s why it says “based on” a true story.But I’m curious to see her side! Another wrote.
There's always 2 sides to a story. Her side and the truth on this occasion, someone said.
Idk why I just thought about this but the actor who played Martha did outstanding, so much so that my brain somehow thought she was the real person lol, another user admitted.
