Baby Reindeer's Real-Life Martha Speaks Out | This Morning

It’s set to become one of Netflix’s most popular shows of all time and now the real-life Martha from Baby Reindeer claims to have outed herself for an interview being aired on Piers Morgan’s YouTube channel tonight where she hopes to ‘set the record straight’. But why are we so obsessed with shows like Baby Reindeer, and why are we so fascinated to track down the real people who inspire the characters? Forensic Psychiatrist Dr Sohom Das joins us to discuss.

MISLEADING TITLE. MARTHA’S NOT SPEAKING OUT HERE. SHE’S NOT EVEN A GUEST ON THIS SHOW (NOT YELLING. I HAVE EYESIGHT PROBLEMS)

[anonposts]

My sister was stalked and abused by a man who she was merely friendly to. She isolated herself and we didn’t know about what was happening until she broke down mentally

[beckyboo]

Disgusting behaviour from piers and his team to even entertain this woman. It would be a completely different story if it was a male stalker.

[bigyin]

I was stalked by an ex and I went to the police, women's aid, my gp, my work, no one took me seriously, I had to deal with it alone, til a friend helped me escape. I had to block him on everything, change my phone number, block all his friends so he couldnt find my new address. It was awful.

SHES NOT CURRENTLY SPEAKING IN THIS VIEDO AT ALL THIS MORNING NOR A GUEST THIS MORNING!! they used the title as click bait to get views and that’s messed up!! ITS ON TONIGHT.

[JohnWestHam]

Support the victim, unless its a man.

[byoung]

It's so horrible for him. He's releaving trauma- it's cruel x

[evap.]

If a man was the stalker then no one would be platforming him like this. This is exactly why men don't come forward when similar things happen to them.

[StevieVBrown]

I thought the show was a pretty average overly embellished drama about 2 people with low self esteem who are easily manipulated and vulnerable to abuse, and who need therapy. The most shocking part was the abuse and criminal behaviour of the narcissist Darrien - he really does need tracking down because if true, he is a very dangerous man. Everyone is talking about this show as if it’s the greatest psychological thriller of all time. Seriously, it’s not that deep.

[sticksman]

She's pure evil. Stick her in jail.

[sjacobs]

Evil
Woman! Stalking is the worst invasion of your life!

[jamesoneil]

Through the whole story what convinces me the most that Richard is telling the truth and that’s the fact he laid himself bare. He was more critical about himself than he was the crazy Scot person.

[Isabellatan]

My partner is also a victim of a french version of real life reindeer. This woman is crazy and narcisstic and already gone to court 4 times. Not only that she has to harm the child they have together to get his attention. Truly horrific to live through it

[lauramarsh]

She will only get more interviews you watch. People like serial killers get interviewed and showcased over our tv screens and the public watch these shows ! Im interested in what she has to say.

[jrader]

She wasn’t forced to reply….sent from my I phone

[KimberlyLetsGo]

The guy says, when asked if a stalker can be rehabilitated, that if they are mentally ill they can be with meds. What a sweeping generalization and not always true. I guess he's a hammer and everyone with a mental illness is a nail.

[martinataylor]

Are we really talking about this woman because the most important thing is this lady needs help

[phily]

If this was a man who stalked a woman, there would be no talk about his mental health concerns.
