Baby Reindeer 's 'real-life Martha' seeking $170 million in damages from Netflix, claiming defamation. Netflix debuted Baby Reindeer in April and it's been a hit with audiences, but not with the woman it's reportedly based on. 58-year-old Fiona Harvey is now seeking $170 million in damages from the streaming platform for 'mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life and loss of business' according to the lawsuit. The 7 episode series follows the true story of comedian Richard Gadd and his experience being stalked and harassed by a crazed woman. While Harvey has identified herself as the woman being depicted in the show, neither Gadd or Netflix have directly confirmed her claims. Netflix has since responded to the suit in a statement to Sky News, saying 'We intend to defend this matter vigorously and to stand by Richard Gadd's right to tell his story.'
