To think that everything Fiona Harvey said in her Piers Morgan interview was a lie? [Edit by MNHQ]

Having watched her interview this evening, everything about her screamed 'liar'. Her language, her demeanor, her body language. I just wonder what other think?

It's uncomfortable viewing, she's obviously not a well woman.

SabreIsMyFave · 09/05/2024 23:23

I am still seeing it @mrsed1987

mrsed1987 · 09/05/2024 23:22

It says 'video not available' now! I had just settled in bed to watch it!

kkalley · 09/05/2024 23:18

she could talk her way out of anything thats what makes her scary

Ireolu · 09/05/2024 23:11

I cannot stand Piers Morgan but even this to me is a new low. She was apparently paid £250 for this 'interview'. Exploitative, weird and unnecessary IMHO. I haven't watch the show and won't be watching the interview

EmilyBronte82 · 09/05/2024 23:11

Not watched it but I’d be shit scared if I was Piers Morgan!

Fiona harvey backed every answer from piers from a "law" perspective, when he asked her about her law degree and grade, she ignored it 4 times, begs to belive she did not achieve or attend, fabricating the law fantasy, which totally invalidates all of the answers she gave which was the final blow piers was looking for, not to mention the 6 email addreses and 4 phones

God, Piers Morgan is a cunt for doing this. So is anyone who chooses to watch it as it just encourages his cuntish behaviour.

Completely agree, I worry that neither her nor Richard Gadd are actually being supported in any way through this and Netflix have shown no duty of care to either of them, it’s awful and I dread to think how it might end.

Yeah, this. ^

GlitteryUnicornSparkles · 09/05/2024 22:55

She’s definitely full of rubbish thats for sure!

Photographic memory but can’t remember how many e-mails she sent or exactly how many times they met. 6 e-mail addresses each for different things such as utilities, work and friends! and 4 phones for different groups of people!!! 🤯. I’d also have thought someone with a photographic memory would have done better academically.

Grew up impoverished with a middle class upbringing is a total contradiction.

She seems to be arguing that there isn’t an injunction out against her because of a technicality, served with papers but it failed to go to court due to a balls up, so shes actually confirming there should be one even if there technically isn’t!!!

She looked extremely uncomfortable / panicked at the idea of a lie detector test.

I agree with posters about the pointlessness of the interview, he keeps saying everything is easy enough to check and prove or disprove yet doesn’t actually present any evidence to put to her beyond disclosing he spoke to a former employer.

Netflix is surely duty bound to complete due diligence and fact checking in regards to something that they are putting out as a true story so I’d be surprised if there isn’t some evidence out there.

JamSandle · 09/05/2024 22:55

I watched about twenty minutes and couldn't stomach it. I loved the BR show but this felt too far for me.

CorinneA42 · 09/05/2024 22:54

I would expect the interviewer to have some facts to present her with?he could have seen the emails/letters/tweets and tell her that, as well as she had a restraining order. Facts easily proven that Piers could have before the interview.
'My childhood was impoverished, a middle class upbringing' I was 🤔 at that

@Saltyswee forgot to include child benefit and Scotland's Additional Child Payment in that list of benefits.

It'll give you the chance to calculate like-for-like percentages across GB&NI.

HTH.

I salute you ! Legend !

TinaYouFatLard · 09/05/2024 22:50

I think if Piers Morgan does have evidence it would have been too much and too cruel (even for him) to confront her live on air. I expect he allowed her to dig her own hole and will provide proof in subsequent episodes to keep people tuning in.

Thegoodbadandugly · 09/05/2024 22:49

I couldn't believe anything she said as she kept tripping over herself.

CobsCabs · 09/05/2024 22:46

Did we find out the real name of the toy that the title Baby Reindeer came from?

Changingplace · 09/05/2024 22:42

I think the problem is that some things in the series were made up, so maybe it wasn't quite that many emails, she didn't go to prison etc etc so in her eyes it's complete fiction. I can imagine Gadd has probably exaggerated things for dramatic effect which will make Fiona Harvey think she didn't do any of it because it didn't happen in exactly the same way as in the series.

I wonder if Gadd thought he’d fictionalised the Martha character beyond recognition because it’s based on a mixture of different people? So some of it she won’t recognise because it’s not all her?

Changingplace · 09/05/2024 22:40

BustyMcgoober · 09/05/2024 21:53

Reddit are saying it’s a Black Mirror episode in real life. Which pretty much nails it I think.

Completely agree, I worry that neither her nor Richard Gadd are actually being supported in any way through this and Netflix have shown no duty of care to either of them, it’s awful and I dread to think how it might end.

BashfulClam · 09/05/2024 22:39

Very intelligent according to her but can’t pronounce ‘Hyperbole’ correctly. It’s not ‘hyper-bowl’ it’s ’hyper-bolay’!

@Jerusalemaa her real account is not private. And it's clearly the real one as the posts go back for years and years

She made most of her photos private ahead of this interview, I am guessing they advised her not to post anything for few days. Her real account was never open for comments. The popular one with the exaggerated style of writing is a fake account and comments are open to the public, thats the account that called PM a bully.
