The woman accused of being the real-life stalker depicted on Netflix’s Baby Reindeer has expressed her strong disapproval of the show and warned about taking legal action against the streaming giant.
Written and directed by Richard Gadd, the drama-thriller series is based on Gadd’s real-life experience of being stalked by a mentally ill woman while he was a bartender at The Hawley Arms in Camden, London. In the show, the obsessive stalker Martha is portrayed by Jessica Cunning.
Given the show’s popularity—it has reached number 1 on Netflix charts in over 30 countries—it’s no surprise that Internet sleuths have worked collectively to discover the stalker’s real identity.
