George Galloway, a British politician and author, has recent allegations against Fiona Harveythe self-proclaimed inspiration for the stalker in Netflix hit series “Baby Reindeer”.
Appearing on Wednesday's episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Galloway claimed he too was a victim of Harvey's obsessive behavior and stalking within the Nineteen Eighties.
“Wherever I went, she was there,” the British MP told Morgan. “At first I thought she fancied me. But it turned out she fancied my job. She was a relentless and physical, up close and personal stalker of mine. I'm prepared to give evidence… she called me hundreds of times and probably showed up at my house hundreds of times.”
The 69-year-old said he watched Harvey's appearance on Morgan's show last month and felt “transported straight back to the 1980s, when stalking was still up close and personal.”
During her interview with Morgan on May 9 Harvey denied that she ever stalked “Baby Reindeer” creator Richard Gadd. She said she could have exchanged “a few emails” together with her accuser, but that was the extent of their communication.
She is now trying Sue Netflix for $170 million in damagesand claimed that the streamer falsely portrayed her as a crazed predator.
“As a result of the defendants' lies, abuse of authority and utterly reckless misconduct, Harvey's life was ruined. Netflix and Gadd simply destroyed her reputation, her character and her life,” the lawsuit states.
Netflix responded to the lawsuit, saying it might “vigorously defend this matter and support Richard Gadd's right to tell his story.”
In Response to Galloway’s recent allegations and that he’s “ready to testify,” a lawyer for Harvey told Variety in a press release that the politician “[vague] And [general] Claim … has nothing whatsoever to do with what Netflix did to Ms. Harvey in 2024.”
