Netflix sued for $170 million by ‘real-life’ Baby Reindeer stalker

By Upmanyu Trivedi | Bloomberg

Netflix Inc. faces a defamation lawsuit seeking at least $170 million from a woman who claims to be the inspiration behind a central character in the hit series Baby Reindeer.

Fiona Harvey sued the streaming service in a California court alleging the creators of the show exposed her identity and ruined her life “out of greed and lust for fame.” The program is said to be based on the real life of stand-up comedian Richard Gadd and his experience being stalked by a woman.

Netflix failed to verify lies told about her in the series, the lawyers said. There are “very serious misrepresentation of the facts” and details exposed in the series led social media users to identify her as the stalker, lawyers for Harvey said in the claim.
