Netflix exec says woman who inspired ‘Baby Reindeer’ was not convicted stalker

In a letter obtained by Deadline before the lawsuit was filed, Netflix does admit “the person on whom the show is based…was subject to a court order rather than a conviction.”

And my ex was literally caught on recording saying he was going to murder me and he’s not convinced of a crime they won’t even grant a restraining order even though i’ve been stalked the last 4 years. conviction don’t mean much in this world.

[Ilovechickpeas]

Sending hundreds of texts and emails and phone calls every day for over a year is stalking and harassment. It’s still a crime even if she’s no convicted of it.

[jenhasken]

They should have said based on a true story, not a true story.

[MochiColorsZanos]

They have to say it's not her because she threatened to sue

[MidniteMusic]

2 other people have come forward about their experience with her several years ago!

Love how a show about a stalker….turned the audience into the thing they hated.

The Coen brothers’ film “Fargo” begins:

“This is a true story. The events depicted in this film took place in Minnesota in 1987. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.”

All of the film is fiction. Including that opening text. A brilliant joke by the Coens.

People need to chill out about this stuff.

What about the dude who literally SA’d him multiple times on drugs? Why isn’t he getting the same energy or more energy? Dude is out in the world living doing who knows what.

Don't forget her emails were published. Don't forget her hateful remarks. Don't forget her homophobic remarks to Gadd.

[MissAngelWhite]

I feel like all the emails and voicemails are being overlooked. Just because the Netflix show has been slightly tweaked for dramatic effect, it does not justify the insane behaviour from Fiona.

GMA, how are you going to lead with this, and not Netflix’s motion to dismiss and Richard Gadd’s declaration of support and all the nasty emails and voicemails from her he shared? I know y’all have access to PACER.

[danielnascimento]

She’s probably driving her lawyer mad. 😂

[tahjjj]

Others have come forward telling of their experiences with her. So….SHE can be a stalker but feels a type of way about others figuring out who she is.🤔

[missmarionlewis]

Thus show was yoo dark and emotional for him yo just make up all that abuse. Certain episodes i cried.

[steves]

So it's both a true and fictional story?

[nanobotxtina]

I always found it strange he admits to have drug issues and delusions and leading her on, but she’s viewed as the only crazy one and he profited on that…..

[fancylad]

So it’s a true story but not all the events are true? Lmao.

[KateCarew]

First off, and most significant, she identified HERSELF.

[NeoRetroEntertainment]

Anytime a show is "based on a true story" you should take it with a massive grain of salt

[NoirOsain]

How can anyone belive that netflix shows are accurate, they made a docu-series “Queen Cleopatra", in which they say she was black 😂
