😂😂😂right on dude

Damn, I watched it and didn’t see all this as clearly. Brilliant dude thx! I’ll have to watch again to confirm. I’ll be back

Id does not matter what he has said in interviews after the fact when suddenly questioned.

If Netflix made the jail part up, she probably has a great law suit because Netflix mentions in the credits that it is a true story. Going to jail is not a minor detail.

Well, it's because Netflix said it was true. They should have said "based off a true story" because that would give them the creative room to change the outcome. Now people doubt whether it's true and they don't believe the guy now. All could of been avoided had the said "based."

​@Embeeyin he said it before she came out about. He said it before, when it was a stage play before it was on Netflix

@@catrionaleslie-kelly904 elucidating context

Angry no doubt lol

Yes my thought to, that is a lot ,yeah no your right that confirms it for me she is lying..👀😵‍💫

@@stuartsharples9520 Why does it matter if she is lying about things that people have chosen to see as embarrassing? Netflix lied about her in very serious ways.

She definitely has a borderline personality, but he fabricated parts of the story and stated that it's a true story. He has serious emotional problems as well but portrays himself as an innocent victim. In fact, he has victimized her. She has a stong defamation case against him.

​@@voices_vary😂 he did not portray himself as innocent. He talks about, in the show, how he was not innocent.

Are you being sarcastic?

Can literally be applied to any given person in any given situation. Im either lying, truthful or I have a disorder even when I say that. Made me chuckle.

​@@TruecrimeAndcommentaryyupp thats Just the world. Either its bullshit, the truth or just insane 😂

@@daffedavidsen6306 did I ask you?

Very simply because real people can and are getting hurt in the process.

Because if you say it is a true story you can't have incorrect events in it and made up stuff about real and still living people.

Because Netflix put 'True Story' at the beginning of the series.

@@brendanrobinson6860 Maybe she shouldn’t have stalked him. Maybe John Doe shouldn’t have raped him. Victims have the right to tell their stories.

@@Glaiket There is a huge difference between being allowed to tell your story and making a Netflix series about it.

I agree

Exactly ,bring it on piers

Unfortunately I don't think he's prepared to be challenged mate and he could find himself in a lot of trouble with a few wrong answers....

No we don't.

Yes please

oh god, yes. It's the first interview I've ever watched him do, and why does he bother having other people there? I listened to 15 minutes and had to stop, I have better things to do with my time than listen to Piers being unprofessional.

Im surprised he's not gone in and pointed put the show had a sa scene. If that was a female there would be an uproar. It triggered me a bit cos one of the assaults against me was pinned up to a wall 🤢 Makes me think Richard aint 100% legit... Then she opens her mouth. Classic example of someone who's not as smart as she thinks she is. As a lawyer, she doesnt know about ad hominem? How is constantly attacking putting you in a good light?

@@hannahcallow6374 If that was done to you by a man, it is NOT the same thing. STOP buying into that.

Oh dear. You just described your beloved leftist nonsense-BS-makers! Cute.

Seems Netflix highlighted in large font the "true story" aspect and descreetly added the disclaimer,i think they had a greater duty of care to those that were identified (one correctly one incorrectly.)

So you are fine with people making TV shows about you being criminally insane as long as they have some small print at the end stating certain events may not be true. Yeah right...

Of course it does. Netflix is not a local station. I am sure they have a lot of lawyers checking before all that will air. Morgan thinks he did something soo big,he is so proud of himself he would not listen to anyone...

So it’s not real events after all

I think about 15% of it is true, and the other 85% is fiction. Too many trite tropes, and cliches.

Always!

When you add up the total conversation time, he speaks more than the five put together. It’s as if his ego can’t stand the spotlight being turned off him for more than 30 seconds. Very off putting and unprofessional.

💯

Exactly! Paula could not finished what she was trying to say very time!

He thinks he knows better than experts. Very rude to interrupt

And then a documentary about the documentary

And “incidents” can include the court scene at the end in order to “protect her identity.”

Programme. Not a computer program.😂

@@colinpumpernickel2605 in American English this is the correct spelling. I didn’t misspell it, it’s verbatim from the end credits. Thanks though!

@@stephaniehudson1414 eeeeeexactly. Everyone seems to just be overlooking this disclaimer. Netflix aren’t thick

⁠Because they could easily say the same thing about Law & Order. There were plenty of those episodes that were CLEARLY about real life events, but they knew to have that disclaimer. Netflix is smart to stay quiet and let this woman hang herself by obviously contradicting herself on tv. She may have a case that won’t play in her favor, but it’s definitely worse to go on tv and prove that everything depicted when it comes to how she is as a person is looking spot on.

Well it is lying if literally at the start the show says "this is a true story". They could have left that line out then people would better grasp the fictional medium

But why do people have to put their trauma out there. You open yourself up to criticism and potentially compound your trauma.

Imagine not sharing your biggest trauma with the world??!! If you decide to share than expect you are going to get the good, the bad and the ugly.

​@@hterrinbecause of people like you and your miserable thinking, some people took their own lives

People don’t have enough going on in their lives so they need to dissect everything, and social media has become a cesspool for these kinds of personalities.

That to me was so sick.

holy......

Actually it was a play first… so already a screenplay with stage notes etc

exactly and maybe some videos too

​@@deanstyles7311 the point being, he couldn't have made it up

@@pauls7559 you sure about that?

@@deanstyles7311 a screenplay is for the screen oddly enough, the tv. And does nothing for explaining how a character sounds. They’re super minimal in detail. The director tells the actors how they want it to be. In this case Gadd obviously could help since he knows Fiona and clearly it’s her being depicted but he couldn’t very well do her voice etc.

Did Fiona bring it to the big screen or did Netflix

no one will write it.

thank god i found your comment, i’m glad i’m not the only one who can read, everyone is saying that netflix stated in the the show that it was a TRUE story (basically claiming that everything in the show is true), but no one remembers the disclaimer they put in EVERY episode saying that some things are fictionalized. You can tell they all skipped that part because it is incredible to me that after searching many comments, you’re the first one to mention it.

@@val5516so is that a pass? No, she should get some money.

⁠​⁠@@laurasc84366 actually legally it is a pass, and even if it wasn’t in there stalkers shouldn’t get any money. Proper vile person

perfect distraction. love how netflox has become judge and jury on serious allagations too.

@MeanEileen916 - I'm so sorry you're going through this! Stay safe. I sincerely wish you all the very best 🙏 Please don't ever feel bad or guilty for calling authorities over something "small" because it almost ALWAYS escalates, and you are way too important to mess around with ignoring any of their garbage. Too late is too late. And I'm not saying this part facetiously- just be careful... don't accidentally tell the authorities (as a random example) that you received 41,000 emails when you actually only received 40,999 emails - because then apparently nobody will believe you because you got the specific number wrong, and your stalker might cling to that (oh how they love clinging and latching onto things!), and belabor the fact that you *lied* about that number to make them look bad, or assert that since you lied about that specific number of emails, then none of the rest is true either. I took a ton of time to type the rest of this reply, and then deleted everything about four or five times, and it's still gonna be "too long"😆 I don't like to talk about my own experiences, so I won't go into detail. Because reliving it is awful. Because it's trauma all over again to have tourists poke around in your life. Being stalked is harrowing, and insidious, and life-altering. But to those who speak out, bless you. And thank you. To say it's not easy is a gross understatement. And I'm so grateful that you're around to speak out! Because too many stalking victims lose their voices permanently. I'm so disappointed that so many people have rushed out to defend her, when they don't know what actually happened. I'm not defending him either, in particular- because I don't know what actually happened. What was presented to us is his *dramatized* version of his experience... which is different. And short of streaming a ticker tape at the bottom of the screen during the *entire* episode stating that some events/dialogue have been dramatized... what else can they ask for? Because people can miss the very beginning, people can miss the very end - people don't generally read anything if they don't feel it's strictly necessary anyway. Sometimes not even then, lol. As much as I'd like to see how these people would deal with it if *they* were in that situation? You're absolutely right, nobody should be subjected to being stalked and all the future ripples of suffering it causes. I truly wouldn't wish it on anyone.

@@Oh-No-Its-Lizzie-Jo Thank You for understanding and putting your voice out there too!! It’s reassuring and I hope to use these examples to effect change because I feel it is necessary and we are seeing the effect of just sweeping it under the carpet. I think the victims, like ourselves, need to be heard and considered too!

After black cleopatra, the term « documentary » doesn’t convey the same standard of truth it used to lol

@@lilrawri8446 LMAO

BASED on a true story. Not this IS a true story..

How have they bombed the marketing? Everyone's talking about it

Watched it from overseas, and it said based on a true story, it did not claim to be a documentary.

Not long ago, Netflix made a film of Palestine. It upset Israel so much that they've been trying to discredit the company ever since. Piers works for that lot. He's simply doing what they've asked him to. He's trying to make people think Netlfix are liars and thus anything else they've produced can't be true. If Piers really cared he'd advocate for victims of stalking and get this woman some help.

this.

I think I only watched Piers Morgan once before 🇨🇦 I don't care for the way he interviewed. I could feel he didn't believe her. Sounded more like she was on a witness stand instead of in a interview.

wrong you cannot state its a TRUE story when there are some parts that have FAKE & have been made up.

Spot on.

The problem is that the audience apparently hunted her down and it’s disrupted her life enough to protest that this was a portrayal of her and wants to sue.

@@icu3869 yep.. she better sue those misleading audiences.

@alittt exactly. So many "True Crime" program's also dramatise episodes. It used to be called Artistic Licence.

Funny thing, Netflix puts a disclaimer in the show that they dramatize the story for fictional purposes and that she did not go to jail.

Based on real events obviously lol

Ratings for Piers

Clickbait

I think you are missing the whole point which is the usage of the statement 'This is a true story'. If it is simply a 'DRAMA', a global streaming company such as 'Netflix' needs to take more precautions in how they describe it.

They presented it as a documentary i.e. 100% truth. Had they simply put “based on a true story” there would be no issue.

I think we all want to bury that image 😂

Why does it matter, she is not coherent, she says many things that make no sense like her lawyer boyfriend who doesn't exist, why is the focus on a mentally ill woman and not of his abuser rapist man, she is an easy target to exploit.

Exactly 🤷🏼‍♀️

she framed it as if she was lowkey mocking Gadd whist gently trying to support him. He was a comedian so it's easy to take it as a joke and her trying to make him laugh at how silly he was for bringing it up. Remember that He taught her what it meant, so her tweeting it to him would be a direct reference to the time Gadd tried to bang her. She's referenceing their last meeting and trying to be funny

58 yo female here. I've NEVER heard of this term before Baby Reindeer.

Exactly! We'll said

You don't understand how lawsuits work. She will go after Netflix not Richard.

A small disclaimer at the end of the show, that I personally never saw, and I am sure the majority didn't either is punitive when the show opened with this is a true story! The audience were sold this story, the narrative in its entirety, as a true story. They consumed the story as such, which is exactly what Netflix wanted. A tiny disclaimer at the end to cover their ass, looks just to be what it is, a tiny tid bit of fine print they tacked on when they hoped everyone would have already stopped watching and wouldn't see it. Their was no real intent to clarify the information, that actually indicates exactly the opposite, their intent was not to have to clarify anything other than what they had already sold you on.

Richard Gadd had mentioned it in an interview also.

@@bree-arnaharris2437 but that disclaimer will probably be enough in the eyes of the law.

BMF pits that disclaimer at the beginning of the episode so do many other shows. Its sus that they would do that at the end of an episode when none if not all of immediately go to the next episode.

@@sarahwilsonuk That's irrelevant. I haven't seen that interview, but i've watched the series. I only know of that interview because people are mentioning it here. The same will go for most of the millions and millions of other viewers of the show. It wasn't my responsibility to go and find said interview that i didn't know existed right after finishing the series. Me and most others were definately under the impression that it was a true story. If they made the part up about prison, what else have they made up?

And Piers just rewarded her behaviour by indirectly telling other pepertrators they are right to do what she did whilst discouraging more victims from speaking up for themselves

Each situation carries nuance. Just because piers has acted a certain way doesn’t mean it will pave the way for future accuser-victim situations to unfold in a certain way. Also, I’m sure if you were to look at the bigger picture a lot of those crooked politicians have some skeletons in their closet which they wouldn’t want showing to the public, making them eligible for harassment as it is

Well thats no different to stalking lisa, so youve gone out of your way to find information on a person that you never knew existed and thats never had any effect on your life just so you can troll her... mmm... Hypocritical stalking a stalker doesnt make anyone any better. 😂 what was the date of the report because i very much doubt you found anything that wasn't dated since the show aired on netflix

Omg she sounds scary crazy

Prove it.

Wow!

What?

What

Because Piers is baiting her to see how little it takes for her to loop out. He will know what she’s been up to.

Some poor producer is about to find out when she doesn’t like something Piers says.

Re: may have went to a mental facility and records sealed - that’s a GREAT point I haven’t heard anyone discussing the possibility of yet. In that case, there would be health and privacy laws protecting her from publicly incriminating documentation

"sealed the records" That isn't how it works.

​@@user-oh7vx3zb8y Depending on where you're from, yes it is.

​@@kaitiezheeI'm pretty sure on the show he said she didn't go to prison almost insinuating she went to a mental facility

Exactly!!!

Or in cahoots to sue Netflix….

do you really think Fiona would agree on this series though?

Goddamn you said like what exactly happened to my workmate.

Exactly! He was disguising the “real Martha” by having the character serving jail time. Jeez - Piers needs to do his research. 🙄

So it's not a true story 😂

Than Netflix shouldn't have billed it at the beginning as "a true story" nor should they have said to the british courts that it is a "true story of a CONVICTED stalker and sex offender" why don't you get that, Netflix have fucked up simple as and gadd allowed them to go through with that.

Yes and that is a problem because he's stated the whole thing is true, even when that part isn't. They're liable for this.

He's a liar and I'm glad he's getting called out. The whole thing was just sick and unbelievable

Good point!!

​@@pheb29l 29:12😊

I think she has seen it, but she did say that everyone online was telling her what happend also

What if it’s Piers and that’s why he’s attacking Gaad so hard

Me to shocked, rape and drugs not spoken about, What a terrible drama, whatever people want to call it,

Most uncomfortable thing I've watched

Can’t believe no one is talking about this!!!

In an interview Gadd said he didn’t press charges and apparently it was dealt with and the harassment stopped, why did Gadd say in an interview that nothing happened to her and yet in the programme it shows her being charged,found guilty and imprisoned. If someone was stalking/harassing me I’d bloody charge for the safety of everyone. Why did Gadd not press charges ?

She also said she didn't know where he lived but also sent him a written letter

​@@zoefree3950 not sure if you watched the series but he stated there that he felt sorry for her, he knew she's mentally ill and needed help, and that he's not faultless either in his interactions with Martha/Fiona. That's why he didn't press charges.

@@ilsavil I did watch it and have also read a lot of the interviews and in one he states the police dropped the case in 2019, but again if he didn’t press charges and the police dropped the case, why in Netflix does she get charged and go to prison for 9 months ?

Yep but logic doesn't seem to be a strong suit of many people

Because it was other people telling her the programme was about her due to cross referencing tweets from it.

yep I had to stop and replay what she had said a couple times over for it to click as it went over my head when first hearing it, I think she's cracked the case here with that observation.

she said right at the beginning of piers’ interview she gave him the baby reindeer nickname. not that hard to connect the dots is it

Yeah but the fact Richard acted out his own story makes me think he wanted her to find him he missed the attention! How obvious could it be that the story was about her even the fact the name was given by her!

They literally have a disclaimer about it being based on a true story and have changed names, locations, and events for artistic purposes.

@@ItsMe-cp8xc If you open an article with “X is a criminal” it’s not mitigated by “X may not be a criminal” in the last paragraph. A defamatory statement is a defamatory statement in and of itself.

They pointed out that some characters, scenes, etc. were fictional and everyone is ignoring that....

That contradiction, I believe, gives her a case. Is it true or untrue? that gave the viewers the choice

​@@leonoraphillipsjemmott8163 yes that is what I mean about disclaimers in my comment. This is a true story is at the start of each episode and is in large letters on the poster. Most people will not pay attention to the small writing or disclaimers at the end as much as the statement that is a true story (Netflix knew this too and that is why they chose to advertise it this way) IMO.

That happened to me, not similar but it happened. This man went on to do it to other women. NETFLIX shouldve provided helplines or some education for people after it was shown and the police need to take it more seriously irrespective how long after you report it.

@@londonlady227 they did have helplines - it was after every episode.

That bit made me cringe, so awkward 🙈

This killed me too! Yet Piers just walked right by that

​@sarahfrith1984 Best one was when she said she has a lawyer bf🤣

She got an ordinary degree not an Honours one so it's a simple pass or fail. She got the degree. That's one of the few things she was probably honest about.

​@@sarahmoffett1296 what do you mean he walked right by that? Aside from him repeating that question like 10 times???

There's no denying that she needs help I think people are just cautious of this story because both his gf and his ex in the series said that he'd a liar and loves attention, the series started off saying it was a true story, and yet the imprisonment was fake and at the end it says that things were added in for drama and some things arnt true. HD knew she was ill yet he put himself in situation that could have been avoided which is also stated by the gf In the series, I think people are cautious that this series makes her out to be way more ill, way more crazy and way more violent than she actually Is and realistically she's just a lonely women with problems identifying reality and now there's people out here wishing her dead

That’s 100% Piers Morgan. Old white man shaping reality to fit his ‘superior’ narrative.

She’s innocent until proven guilty. Or at least that’s how the law is supposed to work. I’d like to see those 50 emails the journalist alleged she’d sent him. English tabloids aren’t famous for their high ethical standards.

​@@jessfaulkner9827ye feel kinda bad for her. But what is this about ex girlfriend and the trans speaking out about him ? Do you remember where ? I have not seen it 😊

@@daffedavidsen6306 in the actual series, the gf tells him he enjoys the attention Martha gives him and that any normal person would just report her but he's quite clearly enjoying the fact she likes him. And his ex gf in the series also tells him that he's a liar and lies alot, he admitted to leading her on multiple times and admitted to mastabating over her photos. If you ask me he enjoyed the attention and when she started to act out through frustration and because of the illness she had that he knew she had he wasn't enjoying it anymore.

Hasn’t it been proved that she worked as a trainee lawyer though? She’s evidently very bright

@@l.jaynepritchard7294 Which is why it was so confusing to me as to why she absolutely avoided the question about her grade

Yeah considering she has a photographic memory (when it suits her)and could remember her highers but wouldn’t give her college degree!

But she has a photographic memory lol. Or used to

well we dont know yet. She has yet to get to court

It’s enough that sleuths were able to connect her with the character. She had no options than to accept it.

I thought that too

@maydont even then, they are not liable bc a bunch of psychos decided to go after her. The psychos might be liable for harassment. Like...we don't even know for sure if that is who he was talking about. According to her, it's bc she had a baby reindeer that looked like him, she sent him 18 tweets, and the character "looks" like her. That's not exactly hard facts presenting us to believe that this is Martha. Even Piers and a very thorough psychologist I watch is unsure of whether or not it's her. I guess we'll find out when all the evidence is forced into light.

In her interview she says that she called Gadd “Baby Reindeer” because of the Christmas decorations, so she knew it was referring to her because of that.

@@maydont that is not true at all - she could have not commented - stayed completely away from it .

@@lucythompson295 im not sticking up for her, I’m just saying ppl create fake accounts all the time, I think she’s lying 100% but like I said previously, it’s so easy to fake social media accounts etc, and who’s to say Fiona is even the real Martha? There was never any confirmation from Richard or anything it’s just speculation.

Look up her name. There's links to her stalking the MP and threatening a child.

Someone I know said to me "Godd is the same pscyho like Martha". Then I realised how this person is a shallow jerk. Like Piers.

Couldn’t agree more.

This all made me very sad to hear. The victim shaming is crazy. This is exactly what happens to people. This is what narcissist and stalkers do to people. I remember my abusive ex husband pushing me and pushing me one day until I finally lost my temper and yelled at him. His whole demeanor changed, he got quiet, and smiled "do you need me to take you to the psych ward?" he says. This is what they do! Someone told me that crazy people make sane people crazy. This is what the abuse did to him. He then acted out in ways he would not have normally and he's open and raw about that.

I totally agree and got the same feeling watching this…and at one point my thoughts even went as far as “ What if Piers is purposefully trying to discredit Gadd, because he knows more about the identity of the “Darien” character…” Just a thought…

lol yal delusional it’s very much important if the person is in a bad condition when the things he claimed true happened he is mentally ill and more more and more even in a court of law this is a very very important thing for witness

Yep! He's an idiot 😂

Well yes many times...however I gotta like his content here b/c I've been in a recent situation with being lied about ... not even a little bit. When you have no power and others (in a group) make up crazzzy sht about you.... you will be considered the culprit by anyone who "hears" about it. If this real life "Martha" telling the "overall" truth ... this she should sue Netflix.

Typical narcissist ME ME ...

I think he talked more than the rest of them put together. Because it's 'his show, after all'.

Black woman: there is no one truth… Piers: SHUT THR FCKCKS AAUUUP!!…white man, what do you think? White man: I think their perception of what is true will be impacted by their perception of reality. Piers: Nods in agreement.

A sign of a patriarchal society

The focus of the series was on Fiona. But I get what you’re saying. For your information, the Internet has also found Darrien. His name is Sam (I forgot his last name). Pretty sure he got threats too.

People have found him too. He has allegations against him, it’s the law that’s failing when it comes to him.

@@-BabyValentine- the real one or the guy who was wrongly identified as Darrien?

Probably because Derrian didn't commit an actual crime? Gaad knew what he wanted and continued to go round his place to get off his face on drugs. If anyone should be done for that, it's Gaad himself for soliciting. It was transactional sex because he thought Derrian would help his career.

The irony !!!!

He’s exposed her to millions of people. Many of us didn’t know or believe that Martha was Fiona up until she came on his show. Now it’s confirmed based on her answers

YES HE'S BACK TRACKING NOW I WONDER WHY ?????

I wish I could argue with that ...and I can't!

The reason he can say she was exploted is because she wasnt infromed ect it was done behind her back she wasnt fully protected and no one can find the evidence to back up the story thats been told thats defamation and explotation under the law pierce offerd her an olive branch to talk wich she could decline there for that isnt explotation alowing another side to speek

Based On True Events and This Is A True Story are different things. I do think she's a bit dodgy, but the show makes a claim that's not exactly honest and accurate.

You're not the brightest egg in the basket are you? If you claim something is "true", it needs to be fully true (ie documentary), if you want to disguise the character and add false information, then it is no longer "true", but "based on true". "Technically" it is not a "true" story as you claim. A true story is a true story, no loose bla bla. You don't even understand the word "true".

They didn’t “use her name” but they made sure the actress spoke in a Scottish accent and had the same body type. They kept the nickname “baby reindeer” and the joke “hang your curtains” making it incredibly easily for her to be identified through her old tweets in a matter of days; the name change did nothing to protect her identity. So making up things she’s did that she didn’t do whether they be onto jail or sexually assault him, well….that’s defamation

⁠​⁠@@kellykirk4244 But all the tweets that were mentioned in the series were real tweets from her PUBLIC twitter account. They never mentioned her twitter account or her real name so I don‘t understand what the producers did wrong. People found her account because they googled the tweets, and it directly showed her‘s… They could have said “based on a true story“ because apparently she never went to jail. But why shouldn‘t they hire an actress who resembles her, when it is unofficially „based on a true story“ - I know officially they said „It is a true story“

lol Amber Heard never mentioned Johnny Depps name in her defamation article and she lost that case. So you are just wrong. In fact she tried to use that fact a lot in the trial and it didn't matter

She sent it to the Theatre

Couldn’t agree more.

Of course she watched it

Exactly, she had researched so much unimportant information about Piers yet hadn’t watched the series? Only heard about the rape scene that morning ??

Of course she watched it or at least some 😂 she's too narcissistic to not check it out

The thing is that nobody can deny is that she will know how easy the evidence is to acquire and she's still wanting to go ahead and sue. So she's either unbelievable dumb as a lawyer or she has a strong arguement that she's on the truths side.

theyre talking nonsense for the most part

The accents are nothing like each other.

Very valid point ... 👍

Right?!

​@@jackjones1249they are similar.

If you were Scottish, you would know they're completely different.

Yet they claimed it was a true story... for anyone not watching Gaad's every interview wouldn't know that. If that's false, what else could be false? This could genuinely be a massive defamation case against him.

Then they shouldn't have stamped it as a true story.

​​@@FormOverFlairmore so against Netflix than gadd.

Netflix advertised it a true

Agreed. The problem is really the ‘This is a true story’ which certain parts aren’t. That said, I really don’t like the victim blaming that’s being put on Gadd. The conversation should realistically be centred around the two central issues and the traumatic damage that they cause. If Gadd were perfectly okay, that would be far more unusual than the reality that he’s damaged.

YES !!!!!!

I'd like to meet even one of the "friends" she claims told her about virtually every scene in the show she didn't watch.

Netflix said it was a true story, yet she didn’t go to jail. Who can you believe.

i thought this to be rhe reason he played the clip, but apparently not!

Same 👍 ​@@martinbross

Agreed she is very manipulative

According to someone above, Gadd has admitted that never happened, so yes, we should just ignore it.

Yes I spotted that her eyes go up and right

Who is the victim?

U believe everything that someone says who was on all types drugs dealing with all kind of problems?😅

She’s a compulsive liar.. and clearly saw the show.. actually, knowing people like her are walking around amongst us is terrifying.. 😂😂

It was discussed literally everywhere! I knew most of what happened before I watched it too

Pretty sure you would need to see it if you were to bring a case against it. What is she scared of, and her deadpan reaction to seeing it was weird.

You know damn fine she has watched this on repeat obsessively LMAO

@@elainemackenzie9651 I had to laugh that she could see the similarity... apart from the curls, they did a good job IMO.

Especially the women

Omg He’s frustrating Just rude

He’s a buffoon.

classic piers lol thats why hes impossible to debate with

Anyone that thinks that truth is a personal opinion based on perspective deserves to be spoken over.

Bingo

Yeah it was odd he let that go through to the keeper. Like she’s having endless calls with her utility providers?

Having 6 emails isn't really that weird. You shouldn't use the same email for everything, especially if you use the same or similar passwords.

I have multiple emails… different emails for different things or when one email gets too much junk or becomes irrelevant I’ll just make a new one with no reason to delete the old one

People who want another 30 day free trial, separate work, personal life, then junk email to give to sales people do.😅 That’s like the one point that’s actually not spectacular. Other than that I think she is very dishonest.

But one of the Netflix bosses testified in front of UK parliament that she was a "convicted stalker" that footage was played as part of this video, did you not see that part? Listen to 2:15

When did the truth get in the way of Piers' work? He's a professional sensationalist remember

well, ok. but then please sell the series as a drug addict’s weird far-off perception of reality

​@@snowball1988all these idiots defending Netflix missing this point thanks

I agree with you. It's absolutely taking advantage of a woman who is clearly delusional and now he's trying to turn her delusions into a reality??!! What Piers is missing is that the programme wasn't a documentary. He is telling his story of what happened.

…being Jekyll and Hyde is kind of her MO She’s gaslighting Piers just like she gaslit BR!

@@MaidenHelll Well shes trying to with Piers. He will have gotten professional advice about it all. He knows. He's creating content. This story will have made a lot of money so keeping it going it all about that.

I was going to say I don’t think it matters in a defamation lawsuit if people online dug up the tweets and found Fiona because they were just including a real life tweet that was sent out and left up for the public to see. Netflix can’t control the acts of others. I’m also shocked this is such a big deal.

@@katrinahagerman1198 Well exactly. Netflix will be happy for this to go to court. She has committed criminal acts. He was a victim of terrible crimes. The programme was about how he rationalised how he got into those situations which led to horrendous things happening to him and made him vulnerable to those dangerous people. He was not in any way responsible for what they did to him though. Careless, irresponsible, very naive, and so much more. Not a criminal though.

It's irrelevant to the legal case, there will be a few core questions, but she's definitely not 💯 truthful, but if no jail, that's a big issue for Netflix

I don’t think she is telling “the” truth but is she so out of touch with reality that she is telling “her” truth? And if so, how is the whole world laughing at her going to get her the help Gadd says he hoped she would get if there were “better resources”? This is soooo messy.

@@rugbykliniekit is not a big issue because every single episode had a disclaimer that this was a dramatization based on true events

@@ms.q7445no way she knows

@@jennNjackNY you are still sitting with that emphatic claim by Netflix of "this is a true story" so having another disclaimer might not really help.
