Piers Morgan Puts “Real Martha” in the Hot Seat: Explosive Revelations in Baby Reindeer Interview Trailer.
The world is about to be introduced to Fiona Harvey, the woman believed to have inspired the character of Martha on the Netflix hit series Baby Reindeer.
Fiona Harvey, 58, recently participated in an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan on Piers Morgan Uncensored, scheduled to air on the show’s YouTube channel on Thursday, May 9 at 8 p.m. UK time.
Morgan, 59, highlighted the interview in a one-minute trailer released on Thursday morning. Although Harvey remains silent in the trailer, it features Morgan bombarding her with questions, starting with her reasons for going public.
Baby Reindeer debuted on Netflix on April 11 and swiftly climbed to No. 1 among the site’s top 10 English-language TV shows. The series, based on the real-life experiences of its star and creator Richard Gadd, explores his encounters with a stalker and his history as a sexual abuse survivor. The stalker, named Martha and portrayed by Jessica Dunning, initially charms the lead character, Donny Dunn (played by Gadd), but her behavior soon becomes obsessive, bombarding him with emails and phone calls, and eventually appearing at his home.
Harvey swiftly realized that the character of Martha was modeled after her, and although Gadd has emphasized that Martha was not intended to be an exact depiction of his real-life stalker, Harvey still voiced her objections and threatened legal action against him.
“He’s using Baby Reindeer to stalk me now,” she alleged in an interview with The Daily Mail. “I’m the victim here. He’s created an entire show about me.”
She also accused Gadd of “bullying an older woman on television for fame and fortune.
Harvey aims to clarify her side of the story, and although her interview with Morgan has not yet been broadcast, she is already expressing that she felt “set up” by Morgan and used.
Piers kept asking me, ‘are you sure you didn’t send this guy 41,000 emails and phone calls?'” she recounted to the Daily Record, referencing Gadd’s allegation on the show. “For about 10 minutes of the interview, he repeatedly circled back to this point.
“Even if I had sent some emails, that doesn’t automatically make me guilty of everything else,” she added. “Like I said, for something to be advertised as a ‘true story,’ it needs to be almost entirely accurate.”
The trailer ends with Morgan firmly telling Harvey, “Here’s the deal: I don’t know the truth. You do. Look directly into the camera. What do you say to those who still doubt you?”
