The series “Baby Reindeer” has captured the attention of thousands of viewers around the world by telling, with some adaptations, the true story of the molestation experienced by Richard Gadd.

Now, a woman who identified herself as the comedian’s victim has spoken out about it.
‘Baby reindeer’: woman who claims to be real hunter talks about Netflix series
Recently, a woman who has been identified on social media as the real Martha decided to break her silence. Speaking to The Daily Mail, the woman, who preferred to remain anonymous, claimed she received death threats and abuse from fans of Richard Gadd.
As he said, with the premiere of ‘Baby Reindeer’, the roles of victim and victim have been reversed: ‘Now he’s using ‘Baby Reindeer’ to harass me. I am the victim. “He wrote a damn show for me.”
In this sense, the woman accused Richard Gadd of “bullying an old woman on television for fame and fortune.”
The alleged real-life ‘Baby Reindeer’ hunter also disputed elements of the drama: “I’ve never owned a toy baby reindeer and I wouldn’t have talked to Richard Gadd about a toy.”
The woman in question denied being a stalker and told the Daily Mail that the award-winning comedian has “main character syndrome”.
Who Is The ‘Baby Reindeer’ Hunter In Real Life?
The above is the question that thousands of netizens have been trying to figure out since the popularity of the Netflix series.
Although “Baby Reindeer” is based on real events and the messages shown are a copy received by Richard Gadd, the comedian is not willing to reveal the true identity of his stalker, for both legal and artistic reasons. This has been stated in many interviews.
“We did everything we could to disguise her to the point where I don’t think she recognizes herself… What she borrowed is an emotional truth, not an actual profile of someone,” Gadd told GQ magazine in an interview published in mid-April .
In this sense, it should be noted that Martha Scott is not the real name of the stalker.
On May 22, Richard Gadd asked the audience of “Baby Reindeer” to stop speculating about the real-life identity of his hunter: “That’s not the point of our show,” he wrote in an Instagram story.
Likewise, the comedian refused to go into detail about what happened to his stalker in real life, only revealing in interviews that after getting a restraining order against him, he didn’t go to jail, as he does in the series.
