Baby Reindeer's Lead Would Testify in Favor of Netflix

As a dedicated fan and connoisseur of dark comedies, I must say that Richard Gadd’s masterpiece, “Baby Reindeer,” has left an indelible mark on my heart and mind. The series, based on Gadd’s personal struggles and experiences, is not just a work of art but a testament to the human spirit’s resilience in the face of adversity.


Richard Gadd, the author and lead actor of the 2024 Netflix sensation titled “Baby Reindeer,” has publicly addressed the defamation lawsuit that was filed by a woman who claims to be his real-life stalker. In response to the lawsuit, which she initiated after learning that Netflix was earning substantial profits from what she perceives as her story, Gadd issued an official statement expressing his views on the matter.

Based on my extensive personal experience and the extensive knowledge I have accumulated over the years, I can confidently state that I possess a deep understanding of the facts mentioned below. If ever called upon to testify in court, I would be fully capable and willing to do so competently, drawing from my wealth of experiences and expertise.

In this TV show created by Gadd, he also played the lead character Dunn. Throughout the series, it was stated that the plot was inspired by real events. While viewers didn’t care about the exact truth behind the story, they were intrigued and started looking for the real-life characters portrayed in the series. Later on, Fiona Harvey admitted she was the actual “Martha” character. Shortly after, she filed a lawsuit against Netflix, claiming $170 million in damages.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Gadd openly expressed his perspective on the ongoing issue, stating:

As a versatile performer, both on stage and screen, I have the unique distinction of being a comedian, writer, and actor. I was the mastermind behind the creation, writing, and starring role in the Netflix series titled “Baby Reindeer”. With firsthand experience regarding the facts mentioned below, I am confident that I could testify effectively about these matters if required to do so. Hereby, I submit this declaration as evidence in support of defendants Netflix, Inc., and Netflix Worldwide Entertainment, LLC’s special motion to strike.

“Though this show is inspired by my personal experiences and genuine emotions, it doesn’t follow the exact sequence or feelings I had at the time. Instead, it’s a work of fiction, not meant to represent actual events or facts.”
