The Netflix series "Baby Reindeer" has become a hit that the whole world is talking about, and the audience is shocked because it is a true story. The series, written by comedian Richard Gad, is based on his real-life experience with a woman who stalked and abused him.
Some of the fans of the series immediately began to investigate who in reality are the people who inspired the characters from the series, so a 58-year-old woman from Scotland, whose identity was hidden by the media, was their target.
"I'm the victim here, not Richard Gad. I've received death threats because of his series, despite the fact that many of the things he claims are not true," she said, adding that she hasn't slept more than two hours lately.
The woman claims that she did not watch "Baby Reindeer", and said that she was in the company of Richard Gad on some occasions, but that she did not stalk him as the comedian claims.
"His story is a terrible intrusion into my privacy. I haven't seen him in 12 years," she said.
Gad and Jessica Gunning, the actress who plays the woman who stalks the comedian in the show, urged viewers earlier this week not to try to establish the identities of the people the show's characters are based on.
"People I love, have worked with, and look up to have unfairly become targets of speculation. Please don't speculate about who these characters are in real life. That's not the point of the show," the comedian said in a post on social media.
