Fiona Harvey, the woman who inspired the character of Martha in Richard Gadd’s Netflix drama, Baby Reindeer, has revealed during a recent interview that she has not watched the show.

Harvey also denied all the allegations of stalking and claimed that she was the victim. She further claimed that she will be taking legal action against Richard Gadd and Netflix with the help of a team of lawyers.

However, she did address the question about the voicemails, hinting that Gadd may have secretly taped her.
