Baby Reindeer Netflix

[Ablemabel]

She reminds me of my mum too I have sympathy for my mum when she was a child and experienced significant trauma. I choose to have no contact with the vindictive, dangerous adult that she is, she has no idea about anything about my life as an adult and I do everything I can to keep it that way. I used to think one day my mum would grow up but she is just as dangerous in her 60s as she always was and always will be.

I don’t think ‘Martha’ has the ability to change. I’m actually quite shocked thinking about it that Richard Gadd has made all this so public. I grey rocked my mum for years and would avoid doing anything to come up on her radar knowing what hell it would unleash. Is this another form of his self harm/self loathing?

Another one here who is reminded of their mother by Martha. Her messages were not dissimilar to the bile I received daily until I finally managed to block all my mother's email accounts and numbers. Whilst my mother is no longer alive, I agree - I couldn't imagine ever putting all the shite I've gone through out there so publicly, because it would only have served to fire up her narc rage and all hell would break loose and I would undoubtedly again, feel the effect of that.

Yeah she has been afforded a high degree of anonymity when it could be argued it's in the public interest that people are warned about her.

Exactly. Let’s not forget it wasn’t her first rodeo, she’d stalked someone preciously and she didn’t just harass RG and him alone, she was verbally abusive and caused actual physical harm to his friends and family.

Having been stalked by somebody eerily similar to her in every way from looks to behaviour, I feel no sympathy whatsoever for her being identified.

Those fuckers ruin lives. I haven't seen 'my' mad cow for almost 10 years and I live 200 miles away now but still get adrenaline surges and panic whenever I see a car like the one she drove.

I also don't have much time for the 'pity her, shes ill' mindset either. I have somebody in my family who is diagnosed with a severe MH condition which manifests as psychosis and she has scared the crap out of me and my small children many times.

Innocent people shouldn't be collateral in the pursuit of someone 'getting the help they need'

Apologies in advance if this offends anybody, I've lived through and seen too much of this type of behaviour I have complete compassion fatigue.

Lock her up and throw away the key if she can't refrain from stalking people and the constant outpouring of racism and homophobia.

I’m fascinated by what’s going to happen next, surely someone has to address these real Martha allegations at some point

She's gone quiet on Facey B

Indeed! Up until yesterday she was posting constantly one thing after another. I wonder if something is going on behind the scenes, IE the police have warned her about posting.

I'd be very surprised if she hadn't contacted Richard after that series came out.

I wonder what will happen when her restraining order is over, I could imagine her manically contacting Richard again! Makes me curious when exactly the 5 year order comes to an end, as that time could be fast approaching and with everything being out there now it would make her very unstable/dangerous.

I don’t think there is a five year order because Richard insinuated that there was never a trial or conviction in his case.

I thought I would start a thread for this show which is based on a true story of comedian Richard Gadd's expedience with a stalker.

I'm about half way through the first episode and I feel uncomfortable!

Here is a good article about his experience and conversation about the show. From what I have read, the show does get darker so I would say use your discretion.

Richard Gadd on Netflix’s Baby Reindeer and his real-life tale of stalking and trauma

The Scottish comedian talks to Louis Chilton about his groundbreaking new Netflix series, which explores his own terrifying history with a stalker, and delves into the dark complexities of sexual violence

What do others think of it?

Can’t wait to watch the last few episodes. Me and the hubby said we would watch one and turned out to be 4 in one night

 

[SaLou]

I've started watching this but I'm finding Martha so annoying I'm not sure I can continue it!!

 

[Libbylulu]

Whilst Martha is bat tit. Darrien deserves to be outed and punished.

Ah right, I think I may have got confused with her previous conviction! She really needs adult social care to step in and help, not just for her sake, but to prevent repeats

I mean I don't think in this case I would blame her, I'd be pretty pissed if it was me

What. Quite a thing to admit, I’ll be honest

We don’t even know if that’s true, the tv show has parts made up for entertainment.

this is some of the problem, a lot of people are thinking everything is fact when it is based on facts, it’s not a documentary

 

[Ingognito.Queen]

I have covered the name and picture..but are these her posts?

I read about her stalking Laura Wray and she took a restraining order out against her, I guess I got confused/presumed RG had one too. If not he certainly should after this tit storm witch hunt that could fire her up again.

I know this woman that everyone’s been posting did say about ‘hanging curtains’ but do we know for fact the real life person Martha was based on said this? Could Richard have used a few weird tweets from other people for this character? A mix of experiences in a way?
He did seem adamant she wouldn’t even know it was about her, but if she did say that sentence then she would know…

hope this woman isn’t a mistaken identity situation. Her tweets seem horrible though

Yes that’s who we believe it to be

 

[yellowhello]

Also hoping Richard is ok because I bet he and Netflix didn’t expect a full on internet sleuth situation and he must be a bit concerned of how she’ll react
