Fiona Harvey, the real-life inspiration for Baby Reindeer's character Martha, will share her perspective on the Netflix series in an upcoming YouTube interview.
According to Deadline, Harvey recently revealed her identity in a The Daily Record article and is scheduled to speak with Piers Morgan on Thursday night at 8PM GMT.
Harvey is expected to express her frustration over Richard Gadd's Netflix series, which drew attention to her through online investigations.
The drama, presented as a "true story," depicts Gadd's encounters with an alleged stalker.
In the series, Gadd himself portrays the protagonist Donny, while Jessica Gunning plays Martha, who is now known to be Scottish lawyer Fiona Harvey.
“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.
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.”

"Baby Reindeer" initially had a quiet debut on Netflix but has since gained significant popularity, amassing nearly 54 million views since its release on April 11.
It has maintained its position as Netflix's top English-language series for three consecutive weeks.
