Fiona Harvey claims the show falsely portrayed her as a convicted stalker, leading to significant personal and professional harm.

  • Netflix admits the real-life inspiration for 'Baby Reindeer' was never convicted of stalking.
  • Fiona Harvey is suing Netflix for $170 million, alleging defamation and false representation.
  • The series was marketed as a 'true story,' which Harvey argues is misleading and damaging.
  • Netflix has filed motions to dismiss the case and invoked California's anti-SLAPP law.
  • The outcome of this case could impact future productions based on real-life events.
