It's official: Fiona Harvey, aka 'the real Martha' from Baby Reindeer, is suing Netflix for a massive $170 million dollars in what the lawsuit calls the "biggest lie in television history" - a plan which she first mooted on Uncensored.The lawsuit - which Piers is in possession of - was filed in California at the end of last week.It states that Netflix spread "brutal lies...because it was a better story than the truth, and better stories made money". As a result of "malfeasance and utterly reckless misconduct, Harvey's life had been ruined."The streaming giant, however, isn't rolling over. Far from it. In their first public comment, they said: "We intend to defend this matter vigorously and to stand by Richard Gadd's right to tell his story." Hosted on Acast.
