All the more reason to not make your fictionalised character virtually identical then surely? Especially if that person is mentally unstable?
I'm not sure it would've mattered whether they looked the same or not in all honesty. By the very nature of her stalking she's going to leave a trail behind her that's easy to trace.

I wonder if his stand up is literally that shit or if he deliberately crapped down his content.

Her interview was a bit of a car crash. She is more articulate than I thought. And whilst I know people can get nervous under constant questioning, she seemed to lose it by the end and seemed less convincing. She claimed essentially it was all made up but it's easy to prove otherwise, and I am actually very disappointed Piers Morgan and team didn't have anything to support or counter her claims such as police (or lack of) records etc.

Only bit I really agreed with without question was that Netflix and Gadd failed to mask her identity properly. They've let a vulnerable and/or dangerous person get a huge amount of publicity

Didn't believe a word she said and she's clearly bonkers. Not sure how you can have six email addresses and several phones and not be a stalker. It was quite funny seeing her quickly backpedaling after saying she'd do a lie detector test.

I haven’t watched the interview and I’ve only started baby reindeer but one of my colleagues knows someone who went to uni with Martha and apparently she’s always been batshit insane

Well Donny pointed out in the show that she was capable of saying “almost poetic” things at times right? The impression it gives is that she’s smart but just bonkers. She was actually a lawyer at one point long ago. I think the text in the emails is all over the place because she’s just blasting them out one after another with no thought.

the fact that she was smart enough to record everything and mislead the police constantly shows it.

I’ve only seen snippets of the interview because I’ve no interest in watching that Cnut Piers Morgan.

Yeah I've seen snippets and she sounds delusional as expected. That's a hell of a leap to deny basically the entire thing from your side happened.

I'm not sure these things automatically make you a stalker :lol:

If that was his worst, well he was only a kid and the audience seemed to like it. I know a lot of things are dramatized for TV, but I thought it was odd how he portrayed himself as completely bombing those shows.

That interview is up there with the prince andrew one in terms of being self incriminating.

"I have a photographic memory."

- "what grades did you get on your degree?"

"Can't remember!"
:lol:

It sounds bonkers to those of us who understand the degrees in England.

But apparently Scottish degrees that aren't honours ones are straight pass or fail. There are no grades.

She obviously didn't understand why he kept chirping on or she'd have probably said that.

Daft to say she had a "Photogenic" memory though and then can't remember the 13 different subjects apparently involved and the individual marks there!

Hate myself for giving Morgan airtime but couldn't resist watching the interview.

She has to be full of shite, right? She claims to have not even watched the show yet seems to know every detail about it. Who the hell wouldn't watch a show about themselves if someone had made one about you with defamatory content? And then go do an interview about it without having watched it? Nah.

Also claims to have only met him 5 or 6 times? No chance. Be interesting if she does follow through with litigation to see how much of what each side has said is true.

She hasn't any sort of leg to stand on.

She's not been named in the programme, so how can she possibly claim defamation?

But we all want to know more though as when you have one guy claiming 40,000 emails and her claiming about 10 it won't take much proving either way!

She also said she didn't watch the show but had an opinion about it being this and that. How do you know what it is if you didn't watch it?

Clearly full of shite. Problem is she's a mentally ill woman and I think it's all got a bit distasteful now. She's doing nightclub appearances at the moment. The whole country is laughing at her and she doesn't realise, and it could crash and burn in a big way eventually. She should just be left alone.

I agree with that. Why anyone would want to track down someone capable of that level and type of harassment is beyond me.

It’s beyond ridiculous that anyone thought it was a good idea to exploit that person for more clicks and attention, she’s mentally ill and quite clearly can’t make rational choices so obviously she went along with it but she shouldn’t have been approached in the first place. It’s disgusting.

Watched the first 5 episodes of this last night, and finishing the final episode now.

Episode 4 was an obviously dark and difficult watch but for some reason the scene in the final episode where:

His dad let out about his upbringing in the Catholic Church and the resulting embrace

Almost hit harder.
