In Baby Reindeer, which Gadd fictionalized for legal reasons, the actor portrays Donny Dunn while Jessica Gunning plays Martha.
In his post on X, where Morgan was pictured with Harvey, the interviewer wrote, “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?”
Morgan also noted in his post that the interview would be on Piers Morgan Uncensored. In a follow-up post on X on Wednesday, Morgan said the interview would begin at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT) in the U.S. and 8 p.m. in the UK.
The interview—which is titled The Real Martha Uncensored—will stream on the Piers Morgan Uncensored YouTube Channel, which you can get to by clicking here or watching it below.
Baby Reindeer started streaming on Netflix on April 11 and quickly became a worldwide sensation. According to the streaming platform, Baby Reindeer topped Netflix’s Global Top 10 TV Shows chart for the week of April 29 to May 5 with 18.6 million views, equating to 73.6 million viewing hours.
Real ‘Martha’ Has Threated To Sue Gadd
In Baby Reindeer, Richard Gadd’s Donny Dunn is a struggling comedian who earns a living as a bartender at a pub. Once Donny is kind to a lonesome bar patron named Martha Scott, the woman begins stalking him.
“Martha” allegedly stalked Gadd for more than four years, sending the comedian more than 41,000 emails and leaving him more than 350 hours of voicemails. After fans of the series attempted to track the real “Martha” down, the woman came forward in an interview with The Daily Mail in London, which had chosen not to identify her.
In the interview, the real “Martha” threatened legal action against Gadd, saying she was “being bullied for fame.”
Among Baby Reindeer’s fan base is iconic horror novel author Steven King, who recently authored an essay praising Gadd and the series, and comparing the limited series to Misery, one of his best-selling books-turned-film adaptations.
A tale of obsession, Misery follows a nurse who is so obsessed with a book author that she holds him captive in her remote Colorado home after he gets into a car crash in a snowstorm.
Kathy Bates won a Best Actress Oscar for playing the nurse, Annie Wilkes, in the 1990 film, while the late James Caan played the seriously injured author, Paul Sheldon.
