Netflix Faces $170 Million Lawsuit Over 'Baby Reindeer' Series

Fiona Harvey claims defamation and emotional distress, alleging the show misrepresented her as a stalker.

  • Harvey's lawsuit centers on the show's claim of being a 'true story,' which she disputes.
  • Entertainment lawyers suggest Harvey has a strong case if she can prove her identity was easily discernible.
  • The lawsuit does not name series creator Richard Gadd as a defendant, focusing solely on Netflix.
  • Gadd and Netflix maintain they took steps to fictionalize characters and events to protect identities.
  • The controversy has not dampened the show's success, which remains a top performer on Netflix.
