'Baby Reindeer': Real-life Martha plans to 'set record straight' with Piers Morgan interview
The real-life Martha from "Baby Reindeer" is opening up to Piers Morgan on Thursday.
Fiona Harvey, a Scottish lawyer by trade, recently revealed her identity to The Daily Record in an article and now, she is set to sit down with the controversial British talking head on Thursday. She will appear on Morgan's news program "Piers Morgan Uncensored" to discuss her fictionalized portrayal from the buzzy Netflix series.
"Baby Reindeer" weaves together a twisted tapestry detailing how trauma takes over our lives.
The series tells the story of Donny (Richard Gadd, reenacting a version of his own life), a bartender and wannabe comedian who serves Martha (Jessica Gunning) a free cup of tea, unknowingly starting a yearslong odyssey that begins with thousands of harassing emails and gets worse from there.

Amid the harassment and trauma, Donny reflects on past abuses he suffered that he believes made him a "sticking plaster" for a predator like Martha.
But Harvey told The Daily Record the real-life events aren't reality after all and told the Scottish news outlet her depiction in the Netflix series is "a load of rubbish." She added that she doesn't have "any money" but is "perfectly capable" of representing herself in a potential lawsuit against Netflix.
"Gadd needs to prove I went to jail which just didn't happen. I've never been sent to jail. That is blatantly obvious. Police at your door would be the first thing, then you’d be charged, then you would have a trial. Then you’d be fined or something or go to prison," Harvey told The Daily Record.
USA TODAY reached out to reps for Richard Gadd for comment.
"This is all made up and hyperbole. There are no restraining orders, injunctions or interdicts anywhere. There's just no way. I've not had the police at my door about any of these things," she continued.
