'Baby Reindeer' is a Netflix original series that is quickly on its way to becoming one of the most watched series of all time on the streaming platform.
According to IMDb, "The story follows writer and performer Richard Gadd's warped relationship with a female stalker and the impact it has on him as he is ultimately forced to face a deep, dark buried trauma."
The most shocking part of the whole series is the fact that it is based on a true story.

Richard Gadd is not only the main character, but the writer whose life this series is based on.
In typical 2024 fashion, people who had watched the show started trying to figure out the real-life identities of all the characters in the show, including the stalker Martha Scott (portrayed in the show by actress Jessica Gunning).
Scott's identity was finally revealed and Gadd's stalker was said to be Fiona Harvey.

Since her identity has been shared, she has come out as saying that she will be taking legal action against the series creators and that she was falsely depicted.
She wants to set the record straight about her portrayal in the series and has decided to do so with her first interview.
Harvey joined Piers Morgan on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' to answer questions about the truths and lies in 'Baby Reindeer' and tell her side of the story.

Here are five of the most key moments from the explosive interview:
Fiona Harvey says she never sent 41,000 emails
In the show, Martha sends Donny (Richard Gadd) over 744 tweets, 350 hours of voicemails, 100 pages of letters, and, most shockingly, 41,000 emails.
Harvey wholeheartedly denies this.
That's simply not true. If somebody was sending somebody 41,000 emails or something they'd be doing how many a day? Lots. Absolutely not.
Harvey admits to owning a toy reindeer as a child
The name of the show comes from the nickname given to Gadd by his stalker. Ms Harvey admits that she knew the show was about her when she heard the name.
She does admit to tweeting him
Harvey initially told Morgan that she couldn't recall sending Gadd any tweets, but later admitted that she might have sent a few.
I may have done years and years ago. It wasn't numerous - it was about 18 tweets there or 14 tweets. We were old friends. It was banter.
Ms Harvey is now dating a lawyer
Fiona opened up about her current relationship and said she's been seeing her lawyer boyfriend for the last five years. She did not wish to reveal more about him.
I'm not worried about the current one because he's a lawyer. And he believes me. Five years, five years. I don't want to drag him in. He thinks this is horrendous. All of my lawyer friends do, all of my professional friends do. Other people do. People have been really sympathetic.
She was never in love with Richard Gadd
To most people's surprise, Harvey said that she was never in love with Mr Gadd.
When Piers Morgan asked her the question, she dismissed him by asking whether that was "a serious question?"...
