She is absolutely loving the attention isn’t she. I maybe shouldn’t be as she’s clearly not a nice person - but I’m seriously concerned for her.
I imagine that she has nobody around her to stop her or get the MH support she clearly needs.
Not a nice woman but an extremely vulnerable one.

I wonder if she has been paid for her interviews? I can imagine a reporter ringing her and her going straight into full on waffle and overshare and then rubbing their hands!
 
Chicken soup for tea, anyone?

On a serious note, is anyone else genuinely concerned that -if this is the real 'Martha'- her mental health may seriously be being affected by all this attention?
Irrespective of her actions, health and what happened in the past (I don't believe a word of her social media posts) she posts A LOT and it shows signs of someone spiralling..

I don't think she has because in one of her latest posts, she said she's going to start charging to tell her side of the story.

In the show every time she contacted RGs parents, his dad answered and gave her a mouthful, confronting her about the stalking/lies. I imagine that probably happened irl, especially given her previous and the fact she keeps mentioning him. She doesn’t like being confronted about her behaviour so he is probably on her hit list cause of that.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. He's someone who irked her, didn't do exactly what she wanted and stood up to her.
It seems people who haven't done what she wanted the way she wanted it are on the hit list she's ranting at the moment, politicians, journalists, Camden Council and even the removal company. It really angers her.
 
RG must have known this was going to happen, no? And that is why I cannot feel sorry for him. I have never been stalked, but have had to grey rock a family member with (what I assume is) a personality disorder who has tried more and more insidious ways to duck up and infiltrate my life, and some (not all, but some) of the behaviours were similar and I would rather boil myself in oil than poke that bear. It is very very strange to me that he has done this while the irl Martha is still out there with free access to the internet.

I don’t wish to sound victim blaming - he does not deserve the initial stalking or sexual assault. He was not responsible for that. He *might* need to take some responsibility for what happens when you make a Netflix series about wanking over a vulnerable, clearly mentally unwell/personality disordered woman who has previous history of being obsessed with him, though! Bloody hell, Gadd. Hope the fame and cash is worth it.

Or someone claiming to be a reporter... if anyone has spoke to her at all.

The whole thing is, as others have said, very Black Mirror and it worryingly feels like we're watching something terrible occur in real time.

No reporter needs to contact her, they just need to print out her rambling outpourings on Facebook, she's not holding anything back. I think she's too much of a loose cannon for Lorraine or This Morning. Maybe Jeremy Vine will phone her up?
 
Why do some of the social media videos posted by have a different accent?
Scottish in most, English in others.
It's quite odd.

Also, she uses social media 'speak' all the time, such as 'Daily Fail' and 'Bliar's labour party' which makes me think she spends a lot of time on social media. Which is unhealthy for anyone... us lot on Tattle included!

I've only seen the one video on fb, the febreeze thing.
 
I feel quite worried for FH too. She’s obviously a nightmare but this circus won’t help anyone. I wonder what netflix’s ethics policy is? There is truly no way she wasn’t going to recognise herself and lose the plot.

I enjoyed the show but I think I kind of forgot it was a real story? Now it all feels very seedy and sordid. I hope RG’s closet has no skeletons in it, because I can genuinely imagine this all going VERY wrong for him and I cannot imagine he will take the tide of public opinion turning on him. (Obvs don’t know the wee wazzock himself but he seems like he takes himself very seriously and needs to be adored). I’m hooked guys?!!
