Woman says she will sue over Baby Reindeer character
She accused Netflix and Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, who wrote and starred in the show, of “lying” in their “defamatory” depiction.
Representatives for Gadd and Netflix have been contacted by the BBC.
“They have billed it as a true story, and so has he, and it’s not,” Ms Harvey said in the interview. “He is lying and they are lying.”
The 58-year-old Scot gave the interview after being identified online by viewers who attempted to find out who Martha was based on, calling it “absolutely horrendous”.
In the interview, she accused Gadd of “making money out of my misery”.
Afterwards, the Guardian’s Stuart Heritage saidMorgan’s interview “reeked of grubby exploitation”, while Ryan Coogan wrote in the Independent that “you can no more expect him to be sensitive than you can expect a fish to climb a tree”.
But Coogan added: “Morgan isn’t the issue here – the real problem with this interview is that there’s a market for it at all.”
