Piers Morgan recently had the opportunity to sit down with Fiona Harvey, who is known as the real-life inspiration for the character Martha in comedian Richard Gadd's series Baby Reindeer. In their interview, Morgan was impressed by Harvey's intelligence, combative nature, coherence, and quick thinking. He even mentioned that the interview has been watched over 10 million times on YouTube.
The series follows Gadd's real-life experience with a stalker named Martha, who sent him 41,000 emails, followed him to comedy gigs, physically and sexually assaulted him, and threatened his family. Morgan shared his thoughts on the interview during his show Uncensored, stating that he didn't fully believe what Gadd and Harvey were saying, but acknowledged that Harvey had every right to tell her side of the story. He also commended her for how well she conducted herself during the interview.
During the interview, Morgan asked Harvey about her identity being discovered by online sleuths who had watched the series. Despite Gadd's plea for people to leave her alone, they were able to find her online account and cross-reference her tweets with messages from Martha in the show. Harvey denied most of Gadd's depictions of her and is even considering legal action against her portrayal in the series.
Harvey shared with Morgan that she's been receiving death threats since the series aired and believes that Gadd is obsessed with her. She even stated that she never watched the show. When asked about her brief encounter with Gadd, she explained that she was there for a meal and a drink, as she is diabetic. She also mentioned that Gadd seemed to be obsessed with her from the moment they met.
In the show, Martha assaulted Gadd's character and sent him 41,000 emails. However, Harvey denied ever sending him anything and only tweeting him around 18 times. She also clarified that she does have multiple email addresses and phones, but denied ever sexually assaulting Gadd or assaulting his girlfriend.
When asked about her message to Gadd, Harvey stated that she wants him to leave her alone, get a proper job, and is horrified by what he has done. Despite the controversy surrounding the series, Morgan and Harvey had a thought-provoking and insightful conversation that has been viewed by millions.
