Fiona Harvey, who alleges she is the inspiration for the stalker character in the hit Netflix series “Baby Reindeer,” is suing Netflix for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and violations of her rights to publicity, according to court documents. She is seeking more than $170 million in damages. “Baby Reindeer,” which landed on Netflix April 11, follows comedian Donny as he is stalked by a woman named Martha .

.com has reached out to representatives for Netflix and Gadd, who was not named as a defendant in Harvey’s lawsuit, for comment. “Baby Reindeer,” which was reportedly on track to become one of Netflix’s most-watched shows, depicts Martha as a middle-aged woman who stalked and physically and sexually assaulted Donny. When the show came out, Gadd told GQ it was “pretty truthful” to his experience but added they went to “great lengths” to disguise the inspiration for Martha.
