THE WOMAN thought to be the ‘real-life stalker’ from Netflix smash Baby Reindeer is moaning over not being paid for the show.
The gritty real-life drama was inspired by the ordeal suffered by Scots creator and leading man Richard Gadd, 34.
The harrowing tale follows barman Donny Dunn as his life falls apart at the hands of an obsessive stalker – played by Jessica Gunning, 38, – after he offers her a cup of tea in a London bar.
The deranged Baby Reindeer maniac bombarded the comic with more than 41,000 emails, 744 tweets, 100 pages of letters and 350 hours of voicemails over a four year reign of terror
Gadd claimed he went to great lengths to conceal the identity of the woman who stalked him in real life and has begged fans not to search for her.
However the ‘real life Martha’ is said to be Fiona Harvey – a Scots woman who moved to London.
Although she denies ever stalking Gadd, she believes the character on the show points to her.
Since the show’s release she has been very vocal on social media on her thoughts about the TV hit.
Harvey is fuming over how she is allegedly portrayed in the series.
She wrote: “I don’t fantasise and make up stories. I went to the local comp and was top of the school.”
The Scot is also upset about the airtime Gadd has been given while promoting the show.
She said: “I reiterate I’ve not been paid a penny for this. I should have been on TV this morning discussing all of this. Publishers have been in touch.”
It comes after she told The Scottish Sun that she was upset by how the Gunning made her look.
She said: “I am very attractive. He’s not Brad Pitt.
“There’s a fat actress that’s supposed to be me.
“He’s come up with this character called Martha and he has put me right in the frame.
“This is a programme for the 20-somethings. The people with no lives, no jobs, whatever. I don’t want to be a celebrity.”
Harvey was previously accused of harassing two of Scotland’s leading politicians.
She came into contact with the late Glasgow MP Jimmy Wray, who died aged 78 in 2013, and his solicitor wife Laura, 62, when she was a former Labour Party member.
Mrs Wray told how she gave Aberdeen Uni law graduate Ms Harvey a trainee role at legal firm McPhail Lawrence Partnership in 1997.
But she sacked her just days later because she was “completely incapable of behaving herself”.
Mrs Wray was then allegedly harassed by Ms Harvey — who was known at the time as Fiona Muir.
It’s also alleged Ms Harvey, originally from Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, had earlier harassed late First Minister Donald Dewar and made a bid to be nominated by Labour for a Holyrood seat.
