Richard, 34, stars in the series as himself, while actress Jessica Gunning plays Martha Scott, the stalker.
The comedian never revealed the identity of the Real life ‘Martha’, but fans of the series claim they found her, despite Richard insisting that they not try to identify anyone from the series.
Now a Scottish woman accused of being the ‘real Martha’ has spoken out and insisted: “I’m the victim here.”
The woman spoke to The daily log – with the publication deciding not to identify or name her – and revealed that she had received death threats from Baby Reindeer fans.
She said: “I’m the victim here, not Richard Gadd.
“I have received death threats as a result of his program, despite the fact that many of the things he has stated are simply not true.
“Someone online said, ‘If I find you, I’ll kill you.’ A guy in North Carolina said he and other people were going to chase me
like I supposedly stalked Gadd.
“I have two hours” to sleep last night. I thought, what if his supporters actually do things like this?”
The 58-year-old man has law degree and said she has not seen the show but is aware of several scenes that allegedly depict her.
She added: “I was in the company of Richard Gadd on a few occasions but did not pursue him as he claims.
“His story is that this is a gross intrusion into my privacy. I haven’t seen him in 12 years.”
She also said that she was in his company “two or three times” and that other people were always around.
