Baby Reindeer's real-life Martha is about to 'set the record straight' in new interview
She also says she's considering suing Netflix.
Fiona Harvey, the real-life woman who inspired the stalker character Martha in Netflix's hit series Baby Reindeer is going to have her say.
Harvey, who revealed herself as the inspiration behind the character Martha in the series, told The Daily Record that she was coming forward "because people have to know what is going on."
"I've not been to prison," she continued. "I don't know where the four and a half years and nine months comes in. None of this happened. It's a load of rubbish."
Now, she's going to expand on that in a sit-down interview with Piers Morgan.

"*WORLD EXCLUSIVE* The real-life Martha from Baby Reindeer breaks cover and gives me her first TV interview about the smash hit Netflix show," Morgan wrote on social media. "Fiona Harvey wants to have her say & ‘set the record straight.’ Is she a psycho stalker?"
The interview will be taking place tomorrow night at 8pm GMT on his show, Piers Morgan Uncensored.
In the show Baby Reindeer, creator Richard Gadd plays a fictionalized version of himself named Donny, who was working as a bartender and struggling comedian when a woman named Martha appeared in his pub and immediately was drawn to him.
As the series progresses, Martha starts to stalk Donny, with her behavior becoming increasingly erratic and violent, and she is ultimately arrested for her crimes.
It's one of the best and most complex shows of the year, and has been at the top of Netflix's charts for three weeks.
Harvey disputes the events and says she is considering suing.
"Gadd needs to prove I went to jail, which just didn't happen," she said. "I've never been sent to jail. That is blatantly obvious."
"This is all made up and hyperbole," she continued. "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," she added.
Netflix has yet to comment about this situation.
