Richard Gadd is a Scottish writer, actor and comedian. He created and starred in the 2024 Netflix drama series Baby Reindeer, based on his one-man show and his real-life experience. Gadd's show, Baby Reindeer, about his experiences with being stalked, premiered at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Netflix released a seven-episode drama based on the play. According to a recent report by Barclays, the success and popularity of Baby Reindeer resulted in a notable annual increase in spending on digital subscriptions. Gadd lost 28 kilograms to play the fictionalized version of himself in order to feel "vulnerable and fragile".
Fiona Harvey - Baby Reindeer’s real “Martha”- wants more from Piers Morgan after her first televised appearance to discuss the Netflix series. “They offered me £250 [$315] and I asked if that was what they paid everyone and, if so, I wanted to see documentation to that effect,” Harvey told the Daily Record. “That documentation has not been forthcoming. I have not signed a contract for the interview and I will be seeking far more than a piddling £250.” Instead, Harvey added, she is seeking significantly more for the interview appearance, telling the Daily Record, “I’d settle for a million”-which in British pounds would equate to about $1.25 million in U.S. dollars.

Hello Gentlemen. I would like to request your analysis of the soon to be determined innocent or guilty, Christopher Gregor, New Jersey father charged with Murder of his 6 year old son, Corey Micciolo. Today I witnessed what I view to be his “mask of sorrow” drop away as the Juror’s were led out of the courtroom adjacent er closing arguments in the case against him. The treadmill abuse video would be worthy of you analysing too. Gregor is in my opinion a sad case of a man with a fortunate upbringing that bred in him , a sense of entitlement and selfish indifference to the impact of his bad behaviours from teens through to date. A man that viewed abise of this child as one of a few mechanisms for hurting the woman that bore his son that came to upset his selfish lifestyle. So full of hatred was he that he didn’t soften to the experience of fatherhood at all, he instead viewed the new predicament as an opportunity to dominate and crush both Corey and his mother as some kind of punishment for a government driven order that Gregor support his biological child. Gregor had to this point been protected for almost a decade from the consequences of his years of antisocial and violent behaviours by his perhaps initially well meaning, highly respected father, ex State Trooper, current Consultant to the secret service. How Gregor Jnr got to be a teacher with his violent record is not too much of a mystery nor was it a mystery as to why Corey’s ex drug using mother was denied requests for a thorough investigation in Corey’s increasing signs of abuse that she reported 100 times to deaf judicial and CPS ears right up to the day before Corey died in an ER after suspected about force injury just 8 hours after she had no choice but to hand Corey over. We saw Mrs Caroline Gregor, Christopher’s mother, rejected as a witness after lying during her proffer and then overnight Gregor was recorded on prison phone call coaching her in what to say as he attempted to use his parents testimony as a proxy for himself to avoid cross examination. I could go on, but I won’t. Would love your collective opinions after the jury reach their verdict. No doubt his highly paid lawyer is already planning the acquittal phase of the service, something he was also no doubt retained for and is renowned for.

So... To everyone who hates Richard Gadd: I did too. Before watching the show, AND during the first few episodes, I really thought that he was bored and taking advantage of a mentally ill woman for attention. My opinion completely changed after I finished watching the show, for a few reasons: If we extend "Martha" grace by saying, "She was mentally ill and he should have known that and stayed away from her," Then we also need to extend "Donny" grace because HE was mentally ill. Either that, or we collectively need to stop giving excuses to people. ALL stalkers are mentally ill. No one expects to become the victim of stalking. Even if she was "lead on," even if he flatout DATED her, it would still NOT BE OKAY what she did to him. If I asked someone to sh00t me in the foot, they'd still go to prison and rightfully so. The victim is NOT at fault for what happened to them. The perpetrator is ALWAYS at fault for making CHOICES to abuse someone. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. 🤣

he was mentally ill, wich was worstened by the stalker, who is mentally disturbed. When mentally disturbed, you do what you know it's wrong, does it anyway, and tries to hide it, read her; 'six email accounts and several phones, one phone being broken when new, one packed down when moving' etc. Mentally disturbed can be held accountable and gets jail, mentally ill gets treatment when locked up, can not be held accountable bc ill. Stalkers don't seek treatment, bc they don't see that there's anything wrong with them or their behavior. His mentally ill made him an easier pray and stalkers chooses their victims partly out of variables like that. His mentally ill made him self-destructive, he turned it on himself, and tried to self-medicate with drugs etc. The stalker 'lives out' their disturbed, negatively affecting others, turning it outward.

I have never seen a show capture the essence of what effect trauma can have on you. The shame and guilt. The messiness. I feel so incredibly grateful for Gadd to have depicted it in such a raw and honest way. And Jessica nailed that role so much it still gives me to chills to think about. She was incredible. I watched it all in one day and then couldn't stop thinking about it for days. So I watched it again. Brilliant show. He is an artist's artist.

@sierraansley 26 күн бұрын

The line that this is a true story happens after the story has started, not at the beginning. It’s Donnie’s true story, not Richard Gaddis. Donnie’s behavior and how he interacts with Martha is so accurate to what a highly traumatized person does that he couldn’t make it up or fake it. It seems to me that the confusion and doubts around the show are more about the general utter ignorance in society about trauma, what it looks like, and how it works more than anything else. Evidence of this is how hardly anyone is talking about the Darian character and the rape and how that sets the stage for his interactions with Martha. It also seems to me that the fact that Richard Gadd himself is a survivor of trauma explains a lot of the issues you’re seeing in the interviews. Survivors often have deep shame and feelings of responsibility for what happened to them, even when they try not to think that way. I would think that would leak through as the body disagreeing. Trauma survivors often have to forgive themselves for things they “know” they aren’t responsible for.

I think that part where he emphasizes “take anything I could TAKE” could be a reference to not only his stalker, but also a reference to everything in his life at that time. In the show he displayed going to Martha’s to live out this fantasy and take back power in his life even though reality hit him at the end that she had feelings that he was messing with, he took drugs for comfort, he returned back to the man who SA’ed him to try to take control over his career, he explored desires with all kinds of strangers to try to take control over his identity. During that time of trauma he was a sponge for any sort of affection or control he could get, regardless of the harm that he was putting himself in and what the source was. I truly feel he displayed through his art that as much as people were taking from him, he also felt like he would take things from them (whether it be emotional or physical for him) as a way to gain moments of self esteem. To me, emphasizing TAKE shows the honesty behind his recognition that accepting, and even sometimes welcoming, patterns of abuse often comes from an attempt to fulfill your need for love, comfort, confidence, or anything else you’re missing in your life at that time as a result of complex trauma. This tremendous bravery can help a lot of people understand that you are still a victim even when you accept responsibility for your mistakes in these relationships. To anyone on their healing journey, you are strong and you deserve to forgive yourself 🫶🏼

The hate and disdain towards Richard (in the comments here and elsewhere online) is baffling to me. It's clear that there are a lot of close-minded people out there who lack compassion, empathy, and understanding. I found the show compelling, confronting, difficult to watch at times, and ultimately heartbreaking (for both Gadd and Martha). Regardless of the situations involved and in which he found himself, and of his level of responsibility, it's clear that he went through a hell of a lot trauma and pain, and it was courageous of him to share it in his attempt to heal, and as a means of allowing other people to explore human experience, feeling, motivations, and suffering.

To the people getting angry over this or to the ones making this so black amd white, i feel like the point is getting missed here This serie, in his OWN words, was about NOT being so black and white. He did say himself he had some fault of his own, that does NOT make him NOT a victim. He knew she was mentally unwell, and he said himself he had a need for attention etc, I think he's being very commendable for giving this nuisance cuz it often times aren't black and white with us humans. Again, that does NOT take away from him being a victim, but this story wasn't ONLY about being a victim, is what I'm trying to say 😂 He chose to put this out herefor us to discuss and ponder about, respectfully haha

It is rather black and white though. Doesn't really require dialectics to know they was both in the wrong. Richard is actually worse as he had insight the whole time, using shame as his excuse to live like a thin skinned narcissist. He didn't care who he hurt cos he was inauthentic. At least Martha is clearly a pathological liar and believe her own lies, she clearly lacks insight which makes her actions less malicious. She doesn't even know what day of the week it is

Maybe men are different, but when I have been threatened by a stalker and my life was interrupted completely by this person's inability to accept "NO THANK YOU", I got away from him (was fired from my job because he wouldn't stop coming around) and then I did absolutely NOTHING to call for his attention. I hid from him. I erased myself from his life. It was a similar situation, too. I was kind to a stranger and regretted it. THIS GADD guy... writes a play about his stalker, lives it every night on stage, writes a TV show about her, lives that every day, he's literally thinking about her every day... something doesn't add up. He's stepped onto a world stage using her likeness as a main character in his narrative... to get away from her? "It's therapeutic" does not land with me. Therapy entails moving through it and moving on. He seems to want her attention, as was explained in the final narration of Baby Reindeer. There's something about her adoration that he "needs", it seems. (sent from my iphoen)

Do i think that the man had issues with drugs and that clouded his reality? Absolutely!! Do I think in some way he gained some type of satisfaction from her attention? Absolutely! I dont think he ever intended to hurt anyone. Blaming him for her behavior is like blaming an abused woman for staying in an abusive relationship.

Laura Wray the initial stalker subject has given an interview with Piers. To my untrained eye her “testimony” is very credible. She has provided Piers’s team with the Interdict evidence that Fiona Harvey claimed did not exist. It appears that there must be lots of people affected by the behaviour of this person. Surely this would all come out in court. An excellent interview from both Morgan and Wray

“This Morning” is a British daytime “Magazine” style programme. The topics/discussions vary daily/weekly, from the banal to the extreme. The subject from this guy is not anything shocking or out of the ordinary. It is just “This Morning”s turn to approach the “Hot topic”, the latest news story. Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard are not David Frost, so they won’t poke when others would. They are not journalists, they present. It’s fluffy bunny tv.

I believe Richard Gadd. Netflix did dramatize some stuff like the court trial but he was stalked by this crazy person and gave plenty of evidence to police. We now also know she sent copious amounts of emails to Keith Starmer 😂 People can make fun of Gadd because he didn't set boundaries or underestimated her or made mistakes- it doesn't matter. Stalking IS A CRIME and no laughing matter. If he was a woman, this entire thing would've played out very differently. I hate the double standards. 👎

Or say they are delusional etc. I believe judges and law enforcement need more training in these areas. I believe Richard Gadd!

@lenavasilyeva3204 25 күн бұрын

Personally, I don't care if this is a true story at all, as, to me, its artistic value has nothing to do with the facts, and I thought the show was phenomenal. However, I also think it was super messed up to have clung to the idea that it's a true story with the level of tenacity displayed by Richard Gadd. Even though this was not a question I needed an answer to, to me it became obvious by the fifth or seventh time I heard the words 'act of kindness' and then I realised that there's literally not a single media appearance where he doesn't say that, how "being kind", "being nice to people", "one act of kindness", "just being kind" landed him in this protracted hell. It seemed to me, and this is the sentiment I share with many, that his trauma from repeated sexual abuse landed him in this situation, not being kind. That the entire idea of the show was that experiencing abuse makes you likely to entertain abusers later. As for this celebrated 'kindness', we are talking about giving someone a free drink AS A BARTENDER. I've been given dozens of free drinks in my lifetime, while soft drinks from the tap at the bar are almost always free in the US and I have never heard a bartender refer to this practice as being kind or act like it came from them, rather than the establishment. Now, Fiona Harvey apparently stalked a lot of people, all of them became her targets because they tolerated her quite a bit longer than others - they paid her attention, listened to her, entertained her complaints, took a chance on her or even gave her a job. Not one of those people referred to it as an act of kindness although I suspect they were in fact kinder than someone giving a drink of tap coke or a teabag on the house. So he was either kind to her in some other ways that he is not telling us about or he was in fact very very very unkind to her at some point. None of this is to say that he brought it on himself, he certainly and unequivocally didn't and I believe that she made his life even more of a hell than it had already been at the time. Still, there's something unsavoury and emotionally self-serving, almost compulsively so, to Richard Gadd's hanging on to "this is a true story" claim, to the idea that it would give his story more value, even after clearly fictionalising it, after signing a multi-step contract that clearly engaged him to write a work of fiction.

Well, Richard Gadd has got my vote of confidence. His stalker has got form in the game of stalking. As you all correctly point out, there's been "tweaking" of events in the retelling, but I believe that the gist of it is that she was, and is, a stalker. Her real tweets to people other than Gadd have been published and they certainly confirm her modus operandi as depicted in Baby Reindeer. All my opinion, of course.

Certain questions asked of Gadd regarding the stalking are likely to jog certain memories of emotions that he’d rather forget. It’s part of battling the trauma from having met someone like Martha in the first place. Fractions of trauma will always be there, despite that he’s attempted to take control. He’ll continue to get stronger though.

psychologist here, I think his behavior signals reflects reactions of trauma, when he gets a question, he has to think about it, reminisce and 'see' it in his minds eye and when it's not treated structurally this is very raw and hard to do evert time. For him to write about it and enact it is a way of putting it outside of yourself and see it from the outside and with some distance to it, but he's still traumatized. His fingers curling in is probably a reaction movement facing the stalking mirroring his retrieval, helplessness and powerlessness that comes with being a victim of a stalker. It means an invasion of your whole being, of r*pe of your mind and soul over and over again. You can't protect yourself from it and no'one can really help but them going to jail or yourself going into hiding. It affects every aspect of your life. About his 'take' I interpret that as; 'that's how desperate I was' thinking about what it cost him.

I say that due to the unknown truth about the whole thing. I am also curious about what you see with his current mental state and trauma response? I hope this isn't received as passive agressive. I sincerely am interested in discussing this with you 😊 My personal opinion is 2 very hurt and traumatised people who (if we go on the show) need support and guidance. Hurt people hurt people. People have their perception of situations and events in their lives. However, perception and reality or truth can be different. 2 people can experience the same event but have very different perceptions on it. I find this situation sad no matter where the truth lies.

the best thing that has come with this, is a stalker truly from within, getting to experience how it 'feels', is, to get unwanted attention from people they don't know and don't want to have anything to do with. Even if it in this case is from a multitude of people, it can't be measured with her boundary breaching until it's kept going like this for a few years at least. She gets a taste of her own behavior and instead of insight of what she has really done to him, she's offended, angry, wants it to atop and paint him as the 'villain'. It's beyond 'rich'

How would Beck or Erykah Badu talk about their newest album? There are artists, Artists and ARTISTS.

Speaking from experience, it blurs your reality and self esteem in a huge way. With regards to his body language regarding it being “true story/based on truth”- my take is that his hesitancy is a combination of worries over legal implications with Fiona , conflict with Netflix (I think it’s reasonable to believe some artistic license was exercised for the series), being believed and judged (as victims are), his insecurity, and general anxiety about this all coming out and unsure of what and what not to say.

Gadd claims to have tried to make Martha NOT similar to the real life woman, but on the contrary he made her physically very similar (overweight, round face shape, same hair colour and height etc), and made sure the MANNERS were identical. That is the OPPOSITE of trying hard not to have people finding out. If he had really tried he could have chosen a slim, blonde actress who was Russian or something with different mannerisms. Further, the strong similarity physically and manner-wise is precisely why so many viewers think that the portrayal is true. “I saw her talk in real life and she acted just like Martha on the show, so the show must be true”. That is a stupid conclusion, it says nothing about his claims of what he and she actually did. Imagine if your mother got Alzheimer’s and a writer who worked extra as a carer wrote a fantastic story of your mother trying to pursue him, then hiring an actress who was her look-a-like, with the same accent and manners, and EVERYONE believing it because 1, She’s an old lady who has lost her mind, and 2, her and the actress look the same and talk the same.
