A Scottish National Party MP wants the streaming giant to substantiate its claims that a stalker who inspired the fictional character was convicted.

John Nicolson, a Scottish National Party MP, will ask Netflix to substantiate its claims that a stalker who inspired the fictional character was convicted.

Giving evidence before Britain’s Culture Media and Sport Committee last week, Benjamin King, a Netflix executive, said the show was “obviously a true story of the horrific abuse that the writer and protagonist Richard Gadd suffered at the hands of a convicted stalker”. Nicolson told the BBC: “It’s clear that the evidence given by Netflix to the select committee is disputed.

Fiona Harvey then identified herself as the woman portrayed as Martha. Neither Netflix nor Richard Gadd has confirmed her identity.
