Netflix to fight woman's claim of being inspiration behind "Baby Reindeer" stalker character

Netflix is vowing to fight a lawsuit filed by a woman who claims she was "tormented" after being identified by online sleuths as the inspiration behind a stalker character in the popular series "Baby Reindeer." 

Fiona Harvey is seeking $170 million from the streaming service over the show's depiction of her as Martha, a person obsessed with another character, Donny, played by Richard Gadd, the drama's creator. 

The character is shown routinely spending hours outside Donny's home, contacting him repeatedly and subjecting him to sexual and physical assault — events that did not actually occur, according to the complaint filed Thursday in federal court in Los Angeles.
