(Story developing) Fiona Harvey, the woman who claims to be the real Martha and infamous stalker from Netflix’s hit show Baby Reindeer said she was forced into confirming her identity in a new bombshell interview appearing on Piers Morgan’s Piers Morgan Uncensored tonight (May 9).

“I’ve come off Facebook as of yesterday,” Fiona told Piers, as she went on to react to clips circulating on social media debating the Netflix show.

“He’s got severe psychiatric problems,” Fiona said of Richard, as she pointed to one of the commentaries suggesting the series writer purposely made Martha look like her physically.

Fiona debunked sending 44,000 messages to Richard but did admit to having similarities to the series’ version of Martha, such as being “Scottish” and having “dark hair”.

Just like Netflix’s Martha, Fiona really did have a stuffed reindeer toy, the Scottish woman admitted.

“I’m not technology wiz kid of the year,” the 58-year-old woman told Piers, as he questioned her about the infamous “sent from an iPhone” signature depicted on Baby Reindeer.

“I would love to see Netflix’s evidence for that,” Fiona said after clarifying that she had sent him a “handful” of emails before saying she sent him a total of “10”.

Following Richard Gadd’s success with his series based on his life, Fiona started garnering attention when her purported Facebook profile surfaced, revealing frequent postings of bizarre statements.

On May 2, she threatened legal action against Stephen King, in addition to announcing that she was ready to publish her own book.

And last month, she warned about taking legal action against Netlfix, expressing her discontentment to several British media outlets.

The drama-thriller recounts Richard’s experience of being stalked by a mentally ill woman while he was a bartender at The Hawley Arms in Camden, London. In the show, the obsessive stalker Martha is portrayed by Jessica Cunning.

Given the show’s popularity, reaching number 1 on Netflix charts in over 30 countries, it was just a matter of time before the Internet sleuths collectively discovered the stalker’s real identity.

Fiona shares many similarities with Martha’s character: they’re both Scottish, around 20 years older than Gadd, studied law at university, and have a history of stalking.

In an Instagram story shared on April 22, Richard requested that fans not dig deeper into the people who inspired his abusers on the show, including a successful TV writer who sexually assaulted him.

“Hi, everyone. People I love, have worked with, and admire (including Sean Foley) are unfairly getting caught up in speculation,” the 34-year-old wrote.

“Please don’t speculate on who any of the real life people could be. That’s not the point of our show. Lots of love, Richard.”

The show’s creator isn’t the only one to have raised concerns about viewers’ attempts to uncover the characters’ true identities.
