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

And cancelled.

At least Jeremy Kyle show knew what it was. This is sneaky, insidious bullshit. Trussed up like powerful drama.

Just read that a DM journalist interviewed her and she's bombarded him with phone calls .

Our fury should be directed at Netflix. They say they changers the details to help protect her anonymity, but the stuff it changed seems to be hugely exaggerating negative stuff about her. In the series, it claimed she had served time for prior offences and received a custodial sentence for stalking Richard - neither of these things are true

How can they claim it was ‘A True Story’ as per opening titles, and yet it be such bullshit.

It was no doubt a horrible experience for Richard, but it’s nothing compared to what happens to many women every day, too many of whom end up injured or dead.

And the focus on Fiona rather than the TV producer is just sickening. That man groomed and repeatedly assaulted Richard, yet his privilege protects him.

Netflix shame on you.

Chilling:

'Early in the series, Donny discovers that Martha has been sent to prison after she accused a former employer and the employer's husband of abusing their deaf child. Over two decades ago, Scots lawyer Laura Wray took legal action over allegations of a similar nature Ms Harvey made against Laura and her husband, the late Labour MP Jimmy Wray.

Ms Wray says Ms Fiona Harvey falsely accused her and her husband of assaulting their three-year-old son who was born with a rare chromosomal disorder. She said: "We took an interim interdict. I don't think she responded and I don't think there was a full hearing after because it did the trick in stopping her coming near me. It was a long time ago and I haven't heard from her since. I've watched the Netflix show now and it's quite uncanny, put it that way."

Watching it now. She is very clearly not telling the truth.

The thing I don't understand is what her position is - she claims the things he says in Baby Reindeer aren't true, but also that she believes it's based on her.

If she hadn't done any of those things, why would she think it was based on her.

I watched it today. Admittedly I haven't watched the netflix series, however, she cMe across as someone with mental health issues. I don't think she should have been asked to do an interview.

I also think if there are exaggerated scenes and some made up for dramatic effect them it should at least pop up with one of those messages saying so.

They also should have made it harder to find the real person... he said he did but really didn't

For such a serios subject netflix should not have allowed any false or exaggerated scenes, it should have been factual and not advertised as a true story, all the allegations should have been researched and proven first. If the story needed telling, which it didnt, it could have been via a mainstream documentary. The whole thing is a total fuck up with no one coming out covered in glory. It's turned into a sensationalist money maker.

That puzzled me too. And she isn’t on the Law Society of Scotland’s list of lawyers licensed to practise in Scotland.

We don't know what's true and what isn't.

Don't worry rishi sunak will soon have her working and she will have a whole new set of people to stalk

Yeah, it's worrying that there's been this blurring of what she actually did - obviously her stalking is unacceptable and frightening on its own - but violence and sexual assault take it up a notch. And we don't know whether that was fact or "emotionally true".

She is potentially in danger of reprisals.

This whole thing is fucked up.

Wow, so he made those details up? That's really not on. Wow.

@NotThatWrong Did she get 250k or £250?

How has she £250k?

I didn’t watch it. I am deeply uncomfortable with this whole situation. PM is an unethical shithead and he has got exactly what he wants out of this - everyone talking and debating about it. He’s sitting there now, watching the cash and fame roll in. Ultimately there is a deeply vulnerable human being at the other end of this. She clearly had a serious, persistent, mental health condition and PM has thrown her to the wolves without any appreciation of what might happen to her now. This is the man who oversaw the hacking of a dead 13 year olds phone. He does not deserve our attention or our money.

This will have a massive negative impact on her life. She will be like a circus freak and it’s unlikely she has the mental or financial resources to cope with it (I know she got £250k but that’s nowhere near enough to not need a job, or cope with the loss of privacy). Universities have ethics review panels to prevent something like this happening, and TV companies should be compelled to have them too. This was prurient, unnecessary, and will have done great harm to her and her family/friends.

But why didn't she just say you just get a pass or a fail? He was pushing her because she wasn't answering the question she just kept saying it wasn't a great mark

You would need a Judge to decide she doesn’t have “mental capacity”, or get her Sectioned. Good luck helping her with that!!!

Are there any lawyers on here ? Would you take on her lawsuit?

This whole thing is fucked up.

Reminds me of dogfighting, with a global audience. Hideous.

Yeah, it's worrying that there's been this blurring of what she actually did - obviously her stalking is unacceptable and frightening on its own - but violence and sexual assault take it up a notch. And we don't know whether that was fact or "emotionally true".

He probably would have a Netflix special tbf

Well, because she's a stalker?

What if Jeffrey Dahmer was still alive? Should he be getting a cut from Netflix?

If you act atrociously, you aren't guaranteed anonymity.

He has already admitted to making key parts of the story up including her criminal charges, jail time and the assault on his romantic interest. So if she did send him many, many emails and messages (stalking) does she not deserve any sympathy for the fact that he didn't just expose this but then embellished her behaviour.

She said she’s met him 2/3 times at the beginning then said met them 4/6 times.
i think PM went light on her, she lost her phone, he knew she has mental health I think that’s why he didn’t dig her out, I’ve been stalked it’s absolutely scary and you don’t know what they are capable of so to the last reader, man or woman we should all be protected and Richard/Don admitted he has mental health especially after his abuse, anyway it will all come out
