Something that isn't politics for a change..
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27610250/baby-reindeer-stalker-fiona-harvey-threatens-netflix/
So she goes public with her name and her face while coming out with several questionable statements such as;
20 something year olds have no lives and are unemployed,
She's very attractive,
Some not so subtle fat shaming,
She's an ace lawyer who was always top of her class,
She isn't a stalker.
All this despite having other accusations of stalking/harassment and questionable behaviour in her past. The pot shots at the actress in the show being fat and 20 something year olds being layabouts come across as being rather bitter at being called out as the show's stalker.
I've not watched the show as I've no interest in the material, but I can imagine having these accusations levelled against you can't be easy. That said, if there's multiple accusations then it comes across as 'no smoke without fire' and lashing out at the people who were merely doing their jobs in the show, and the people who have watched the show seems a tad naive and likely to cause more backlash against her.
I'll not comment on her looks as beauty is subjective.
Her going very public with this in a shitrag like The Sun is going to do her absolutely no favours at all, especially with some of her statements. All in all, a very silly thing to do in my opinion and assuming she is as smart as she says, it would appear it's only book smarts because this comes across as being very short sighted.
Not sure how much success she would have suing Netflix given you'd expect there would have been some text on the show to say that it's a work of fiction despite being based on a true story, and the fact that character names have been changed. If Netflix were passing it off as a factual piece of work rather than drama then she'd have more of a case. I'm not a "highly competent lawyer" though so I could very well be wrong.
Anyone watched the show? Is it worth watching?

Brilliant show, and literally every word in her interview confirms it’s her and is 100% accurate in terms of how she is portrayed.
Yes it worth watching and it’s also pretty disturbing, although a lot of the real disturbing stuff isn’t about her. She’s obviously got some issues if she’s the same as depicted in the show.
She’s clearly very mentally ill, in the show ‘Martha’ comes across as much as a victim as the main character.
The real life equivalent could much be the same, but we don’t know. It feels like the best thing to do is to just not engage with her at all. The shit rag called the sun obviously don’t care about her in anyway. They’ve just opened the world to laugh and target her under the guise of allowing her to share her story.
While the show might be great, the story captivating and the actors phenomenally talented there is real people behind that story and if Fiona is anything like Martha then this sort of attention won’t go anywhere positive.
It’s almost like she’s incredibly mentally ill and obviously wouldn’t handle the sudden attention well.
The show is very good though, surprised at how naive the creator was to think simply changing her name would throw people off of her.
She complains the series identified her while also complaining the actress doesn’t look like her.
Tried to watch it, can’t watch cringe :/
Did people follow breadcrumbs on the show to work out who she was? It seem to me like she outed herself, and she’s been throwing pelters at him on social media for years anyway.
She’s not well, and the people harassing her on social media should leave her alone, but people love a pile-on.
At the same time, she’s perfectly able to just turn her accounts private and ignore it all, but it seems like she thrives on the attention. The fact she’s gone to the Sun backs that up.
I don’t know what she’s up to these days, but back when she was harassing and stalking Labour politicians in Scotland, no law firm would touch her. She was obsessive, she harassed people, she said wildly inappropriate things. Judging by the things she’s saying, she’s not changed. No lawyer would act the way she’s acting.
Fantastic show. An artistic license used but still a great show. Appears to be a true story.
Now it comes down to the internet finding out who the people are in the story. A few have been found.
Just wait on the shit show.
No idea if Martha had any input so she’s had her piece – name in the papers.
We need a newsnight interview or to get her in Big Brother
completely off topic but i’ve heard that Gadd isn’t liked around Fife, anyone able to confirm or deny? i’ve heard he’s got a reputation
This has to be a wind up
> “I’m a highly competent lawyer. I’d have to do it myself. I’m very good.
> “I have a photographic memory and can memorise huge files. I was top in my school at everything.”
Great relief from all the politics in here!
You should watch the show. It’s a very powerful depiction of not just stalking but the effects of abuse that persist post the ‘traumatic event’ that might give context to people that exhibit certain behaviors. Incredible piece of media tbh. Never watching it again tho.
