‘I want to set the record straight’ blasts ‘real Baby Reindeer stalker’ as she gears up for Piers Morgan interview today
THE real-life Martha from hit Netflix show Baby Reindeer wants to “set the record straight” in a tell-all interview with Piers Morgan.
Internet ‘sleuths’ were quick to track down Fiona Harvey and identify her as the inspiration behind the obsessive stalker after the mini-series launched last month.
Written by and starring comedian Richard Gadd – who plays fictionalised version of himself Donnie Dunn – the programme details the alleged ordeal, with Martha played by Jessica Gunning.
In the show, the then-struggling comic, while working in a London bar, hands Martha a free cup of tea before things turn sinister.
The series claims she subsequently bombarded the barman with more than 41,000 emails.
She also sent him hundreds of tweets and hours of voicemails and even camped outside his house for days before also harassing his parents and ex, and assaulting his girlfriend over an alleged four-year campaign of terror.
Harvey will now break her silence in a Piers Morgan Uncensored interview on YouTube at 8pm tonight.
In an Instagram post last night, Morgan said: “The real-life Martha from Baby Reindeer breaks cover and gives me her first TV interview about the smash hit Netflix show.
“Fiona Harvey wants to have her say & ‘set the record straight.’
“Is she a psycho stalker? Find out tomorrow on @piersmorganuncensored.”
The trailer text for the interview reads: “The ‘real Martha’ from Baby Reindeer tomorrow on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
“sent from my ihphone.”
In Baby Reindeer, the Martha character often signs off her emails as if they were sent from an iPhone – despite being from her laptop – and are misspelt in a variety of ways.
Scots law graduate Fiona, 58, previously branded Gadd ‘pathetic’ in a savage social media blast.
She wrote online: “Everything about Gadd will not be talked about now until after my TV show.
“I hope you all tune in. The explosive real truth about Gadd is finally out.”
Ms Harvey added: “I’m very nervous about my TV appearance.”
Gadd, 34, claimed he went to great lengths to conceal the identity of the woman who stalked him in real life.
The comic begged fans not to search for the real Martha – but internet sleuths unmasked Harvey anyway.
Fiona is from Fyvie, Aberdeenshire and says she met Gadd years ago when he was a bartender at The Hawley Arms in Camden.
