A Scottish woman accused of stalking “Baby Reindeer” creator and star Richard Gadd can proceed with her defamation lawsuit against Netflix, after a federal judge in California refused to dismiss all of the claims. In a ruling published on Friday, Judge R. Gary Klausner wrote that while Fiona Harvey’s “purported actions are reprehensible,” the differences in how the show depicted these “could produce a different effect on the mind of a viewer.” Judge Klausner also wrote that while Fiona Harvey’s “purported actions are reprehensible,” the differences in how the show depicted these “could produce a different effect on the mind of a viewer,” and thus the defendants’ CNN has contacted Gadd and Netflix for comment. In a statement to CNN, in June, a spokesperson for Netflix said: “We intend to defend this matter vigorously and to stand by Richard Gadd’s right to tell his story.” In the Emmy-award winning Netflix miniseries, Gadd recounts, what is billed as a “true story” of being stalked by a woman who bombards him with more than 40,000 emails and hundreds of hours of voice messages.
