A former coworker of Baby Reindeer‘s creator and star, Richard Gadd, has refuted the claims made on the show about the comedian being targeted by a female stalker. Instead, she asserts that the woman was actually “the target of ridicule” by the male staffers in a “misogynistic” environment.
The hit drama-thriller series is based on Richard’s real-life experience of being stalked by a mentally ill woman, believed to be 58-year-old Fiona Harvey, while he was a bartender at The Hawley Arms in Camden, London.
Speaking with the DailyMail, the ex-colleague claims that Richard portrayed an inaccurate recount of the events on the show and that the woman—played by Jessica Cunning in the series—never stalked him.
