The alleged real ‘Martha’, who is a lawyer and disputes the claims of persecution made by creator Richard Gadd, stated that she plans to take legal action against the platform and represent herself.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, she criticizes the series for being a “gross invasion of her privacy” and also mentioned that she received “death threats” because of the series. “I am the victim,” she stated.

Despite Gadd’s efforts to protect the identity of his stalker, the real “Martha” was identified by fans shortly after the series was released. The woman, who moved from Scotland to London, is particularly unhappy with how her image was portrayed on the show, especially with the choice of actress representing her, Jessica Gunning.

She alleges that Gadd’s account of her persecution is inaccurate and emphasizes that the series, by suggesting that she is an obsessive stalker, is causing her personal and professional harm, and that her life is being affected by this unwanted exposure, and she does not want to be recognized or associated with the series.



In ‘Baby Reindeer,’ you can follow the story of Donny Dunn, played by Richard Gadd himself, a budding comedian who begins to be stalked and harassed by Martha (Jessica Gunning), a customer at the bar where he works. The plot is based on real events experienced by Gadd, the creator and writer of the series.
