Harvey is likely to voice her anger over Richard Gadd’s smash hit Netflix series, which led to her being identified by internet sleuths. Morgan has described the series as “astounding.”

The drama was billed straightforwardly as a “true story” and provides a searingly raw account of Gadd’s experience with an alleged stalker.

Gadd plays the lead character Donny, while Jessica Gunning stars as Martha, who we now know is Scottish lawyer Harvey.

Harvey told The Daily Record that she is considering legal action against Netflix and Gadd, claiming that events in the series were a “load of rubbish.”

“Gadd needs to prove I went to jail which just didn’t happen. I’ve never been sent to jail. That is blatantly obvious,” she said.

“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.

“It’s a load of rubbish. I don’t have any money but I’m a perfectly capable lawyer so I will represent myself.”

Baby Reindeer launched on Netflix with little fanfare but has exploded on the streamer, amassing nearly 54M views since debuting on April 11. It has been Netflix’s top English-language series for three consecutive weeks.

Netflix has been contacted for comment.
