Gadd talked to Daily Record newspaper and revealed that he was shocked that he made “a little cult artistic gem” that people were outside his house. “It was, like, crazy. I never expected it to sort of blow up like this,” he said. “I believed it would be successful but I didn’t expect overnight, I don’t even like to use this word, fame.” He continued, “I really believed in this show but it really felt like one day it went on the platform and the next day there were people camping in my garden.”

Fiona Harvey's Criminal Record Is Totally Different To What's Depicted In Baby Reindeer

In Baby Reindeer , Martha is shown to be arrested, pleading guilty, and spending nine months in prison. Donny (the fictionalized Gadd) is granted a five-year restraining order and he allegedly never sees her again.

Harvey insists she doesn’t have a criminal record . Speaking with controversial TV host Piers Morgan, she refuted much of what was depicted in Baby Reindeer . “They have billed it as a true story, and so has he, and it’s not,” she said. “He is lying and they are lying.” When it came to her being arrested, charged, or convicted of any crime, she said, “That is completely untrue, very, very defamatory to me, very career damaging.” Now, after speaking out against her depiction in the show, you can’t ignore Fiona Harvey’s Baby Reindeer similarities .
