I wonder when we will stop talking about the stalker and talk about the rapist in the movie. Why is everyone more concerned about trying to find out about the real Martha than finding out who is the real rapist? Where is the rapist who seemed to get away and probably is going on normally about his life...?

This is while he had a tag on his ankle for stalking a 21 year old girl, but he had no concept that he'd done anything wrong to either of us. The judge actually said to him 'i cant dismiss you as an old fool because still here today in court, you dont think you've done anything wrong'.

I disagree because she and Gadd are both in their 30s and look the same age so him calling her older made no sense. The actual stalker was so much older and I would’ve preferred an actress who was older. Know he was in 20s when it occurred but then the actress should’ve been maybe mid 40s. To me Gadd wasn’t believable as in his twenties. So it made sense when the twist of his identity was revealed!

He gave a reasonably full account of his role in it. He encouraged behavior, he tried to set her up, he sought sexual encounters that I'm sure many viewers, like myself, found abhorrent. His story was of trauma, why trauma encourages and cycles trauma, and how traumatized people seek out, encourage, and don't understand their own repeated traumas. I think, with his story, he did his best to document what happened to him, as well as the reflections of his own behaviors that contributed to the story. Great piece of storytelling, and reflects how real life is never black and white.

It is funny that if the genders were reversed, people would say the woman is traumatized and didn't feel comfortable reporting her rapist and it is her decision. It goes both ways. You can feel sorry for her but that doesn't excuse the stalking. A lot of stalkers use pity to continue the connection to the victim.

If it is an accurate portrayal, more people will come forward and claim she is a stalker.

Richard Gadd has every right to tell his truth and he did so powerfully and with great dignity. The stalker has convictions for stalking. Gadd has all the messages saved. If Gadd needed to talk about her crimes against him and she has convictions she brought it on herself and only has herself to blame. These are crimes. However, the media needs to stop exploiting Gadd's trauma and the stalker. My concern (after suffering severe stalking twice - one is now in prison for murder) was that the drama might trigger the stalker into offending against him again because it is an obsession. But that is NOT Gadd's fault or responsibility. He needed to talk about it and I 100% support his dignified, honest and powerful exposure of what he endured.

He will have played down his part in all of it. She stalked him, I think that is undisputed BUT I do not believe he is telling us the whole truth. I think Fiona frequented the bar and developed a crush on Gadd and for his and his colleagues amusement, he made fun of her and pretended he liked her too. He said himself he led her on but I think he has played things down where his own behaviour is concerned. Playing with the emotions of a lonely, mentally ill woman is not just cruel, it's a disaster waiting to happen. I have no respect for Gadd whatsoever. He used people for whatever he needed at the time. Fiona for his own amusement, Teri he was ashamed of but still needed her and the predator, he went back for more, even after being seriously sexually assaulted to get him to where he needed to be in his career. How many other victims are there or will be? Martha's portrayed as a monster but there's also a rapist on the loose that he would rather cash in on than report to protect others He has made a lot of money out of his story which will be heavily dramatized to sell to Netflix. Not excusing what Fiona did by any means, she needs help but he enabled her by leading her on until he realised he had bit off more than he could chew.

The stalking may be overly dramatized. The real Martha never went to jail for 9 months. The thousands of email and harassing the family are also questionable. I think it's important to listen to both sides. We would believe everything in the movie if she didn't appear on Pier Morgan.

I think it’s a great piece of filmmaking. I was abused from the age of 9 and sought abusive situations like Donny, because that’s what was familiar. Baby Reindeer is about Donny and not Martha. She is much more than his antagonist, she is a walking wound like him. Richard Gadd wrote her with a lot of humanity and he never made himself as the sole victim. The real Martha can’t accept this and wants to make it about herself now. typical of narcissistic behaviour. And Piers thrives in this, because that’s the kind of exploitative journalist he does. What about Piers’s responsibility towards Fiona’s wellbeing and re-ignition of her trauma? Richard has the right to tell his side of his story, like Fiona.

Me too. Being the victim of stalking is no joke but in this case I think that's what started it, a joke to amuse him and his colleagues in the bar by, making fun of a mentally ill woman with a crush letting her think he felt the same way until it got too hot to handle. He enabled her behaviour, he brought it on himself.

Richard Gadd takes alot of accountability in his role in how his stalking got to the level it did. He openly states he suffers from his own mental health demons too. He never just blamed her but after enabling her for so long it was then hard for him to get her to stop when it got scarily out of hand and then became dangerous & frightening. He had every right to tell his story as it raises awareness to different types of people out there who also put themselves in these dangerous positions. He didn't provoke her but he definitely enabled it, but she should have stopped when he wanted to cut ties yet she kept going and going. Fionas interview shows an incredible resemblance to the character of Martha. She contradicts herself continuously, has grandiosity, takes no accountability or ownership for any of her actions that can be proven, she's a hypocrite and a pathological liar who seems to believe her own lies. She demonstrated that she lies multiple times in this interview by changing her story. She's an unhinged and dangerous woman. Lock your doors Richard Gadd....and Piers, she will be on your tail now too.

They also portrayed her as a convicted criminal who had gone to prison for 4 years for stalking, and had a long history of it, documented online. This isn't accurate (she has no criminal record) and immediately labels her as dangerous. The court hearing at the end of the show is also fictional. People at large don't differentiate between the character and real person, which is the real danger.

Blame shifting, gastlighting, demeaning comments, lies, manipulation, lack of accountability, lack of boundaries, lack of empty. This woman is clearly a dangerous narcissist.

Literally what tf was the old guy ranting about 😂😂

I agree he had made mistakes, making her believe they were in a relationship, but he admitted this, and he didn't realize she has this mental state, and he does too. And yes again, this is a big problem, there are many underlying mental conditions we are undermining, and the world is still not aware of them, people can be dangerous when they get into higher positions in society. And it's contagious, And we all can see it.

You missed the pont that Ricard Gadd was putting across about his own behavior and lonliness

Holy moly. I'm glad he's not one of my lecturers, or rather wasn't one. I stopped listening several minutes ago and was just reading the comments 🤭

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. In her interview with Piers Morgan she said she didn't watch the series, but has been told about it by other people. She admitted some bits were true, like the name of the show and the hanging of the curtains. She explained she wants to sue because of all the harassment she is facing due to the show. She consistently said she didn't have his number and didn't text him. She also has a point that if Richard Gadd/Netflix didn't want people to identify her they shouldn't have used the few tweets she admits she sent. Until hard evidence of voicemails, texts, emails, convictions, etc. is shared publicly, she deserves the benefit of the doubt. Yes, she comes across as a bit quirky, but that doesn't make her culpable. We should also consider the possibility that Richard Gadd could have created a completely outrageous story based on some milder facts.

Pop stars get away with writing songs about their exes and internet sleuths outing and harassing them all the time. Why is this different?

I never believe what the Sun says, same with what this guy is jabbering on about. He clearly has gone "I got stalked... this didnt happen to me, so its all BS" Gabb clearly says he - at times - enjoyed the attention as he wasnt getting any, So walking someone home, or taking them for a coffee DOESNT mean theyre in a relationship. No idea where this idiot is getting that idea from. She was known to lie, and claimed they was in a relationship. And he even says, the only way for him to get her to listen, was to go along with her delusion.

This is stupid. Not only Gadd admits his wrongdoings IN the show, but also, this gentleman is saying what one SHOULD do, what the appropriate action to be taken is, but is is talking about a level headed person capable of recognizing clearly the situation. But the show depicts his action as troubled. He even says so in his characters own mouth. All this is really dumb.

I can’t believe we’re shifting the blame here? Why is he supposed to act perfect around people with obsessive behaviours, whilst she is excused because of possible trauma and mental health? I get it, something is definitely wrong with her. She is genuinely sick. Trying to understand how she became that way is helpful for possibly having her stop the behaviour. BUT it does not EXCUSE the hurt, trauma and difficulties she caused someone else. They’re both humans with a past. But the mistakes he made because of it are not comparable to her’s. She ruined his life. He simply did not handle this in the most perfect way, just like any person would i think.

@medwayhospitalprotest

Do you not think the writer rather exaggerated things to make it a better story? I do.

"He would not advise sharing certain information about what actually happened": dude, nobody is asking you, it is not a police report or a legal case, it is a TV show, writer can share whatever he wants. "She would find it difficult to recognize that the behavior she is engaging in is dysfunctional": well duh! If she was capable to recognize that it was an inappropriate behavior, she would probably not do it... Or like we say in mental health: stalker has no insight into their behavior. And no, stalkers do not blame the person they are stalking for stalking, but for giving them reason for stalking. Martha believes that her and "Donny" have a relationship, that their short meetings are "dates", that they are going to get married and have children (Eggbert, Keith and Neo 🙄🙄🙄🙄) and since they are "involved", she considers his girlfriend as someone who is a danger to her, Martha, and her relationship with "Donny" and believes she is justified to protect that relationship by any means possible. In terms of psychopathology of stalking: stalkers may have personality disorder, but it on its own doesn't make them stalk. They frequently suffer from erotomania: it's a belief that another person is in love with them, so by stalking, they feel they are "helping" that person express their emotions and achieve relationship they are longing for. Erotomania is a psychotic symptom, a delusion. Also, whether the victim encourages the stalker, even out of the best intentions, such as wanting to be friends, feeling sorry for stalker and wanting to help, that doesn't have much effect on the stalker. Stalkers are pretty good in finding "hidden" messages, meanings and signs, rationalizations, justifications, etc. Sure, had "Donny" never given Martha that cup of tea, she wouldn't have started to stalk him. However, that minimal gesture that was really a part of his job as a bartender, started a storm... This stalker story is specific because "Donny" was trying to be nice to Martha, make her a friend. And that is the point: he had a history of abuse, he was under stress trying to make it as a comedian, he had inferiority complex because of history of sexual abuse, so that made him even better victim for Martha. Stalkers find victims who themselves have issues and needs... Baby Reindeer is not only a story about a stalker, but it is also a story about bad decisions on the part of "Donny" that end him not only being stalked by Martha, but also sexually abused while trying to become a comedian and writer. Its message is not only "what to do when someone is stalking you", but why was it that "Donny" couldn't do what any reasonable person would do in that situation, and that is go to police, avoid, instead of befriend Martha, protect himself so she doesn't learn where he lives, etc.

I see where this guy is coming from but at the same time the whole point of the show is to portray the severity of it but also portray what not to do and his own faults in dealing with the situation

I think she was always going to pop up...he wasn't actually nasty about her...I thought it was fascinating... I have also been stoked it was bizarre and when I spoke to her they just continued to lie..
