'Baby Reindeer' Creator Richard Gadd Reveals True Story Behind Hit New Show | This Morning
Переглядів 2,475,640
27 днів томуWe’re joined by Richard Gadd, who’s turned his real-life experience of being stalked into a hit TV series ‘Baby Reindeer’. Working behind the bar of a pub, he offered one female punter a free cup of tea after she claimed she couldn’t afford a drink. That single act of kindness set off a series of events which would change his life forever. The woman - ‘Martha’ - went on to send him 40,000 emails and 350 hours of voicemail while obsessively stalking him outside his home, at his workplace and at his comedy gigs. Richard joins us today to explain why he wanted to share his story and how it feels to have created Netflix’s current number-one TV series.

After watching it I thought it was the best ever. However now I'm not so sure. I believe it needs a warning as could trigger people. Not all of us go onto to self destruct, use drugs and generally destroy everyone around us, there is another path. I fear this gives licence to the negative path. Has the male been charged? If not why not? Is he still out there roaming freely? Gadd said in another interview that the stalker in the series is so far from the truth of the real one she wouldn't even recognise herself 🤔 I do think once the press dig deep into this, which they will, it's not as factual and heroic as he's made out.

I went to school with Richard, back then I was a spotty rather unpopular young man who was going through a lot of gender identity issues behind the scene and had also been a victim of an SA by an older man, I found Richard to be quite a mean person who was more than willing to engage in use of homophobic slurs against me and my few friends and was more than happy to be the bully to fit in with his group and not seem gay. Our guidance teachers were Ms Hutchinson and Mr Tarvet we attended Madras College. I am glad to see that Richard has lost some of his less savoury behaviours and improved with age. I wish him well. Perhaps he has now a better understanding of the power of other peoples behaviour to cause hurt and as a victim of other people maybe he can now understand that I forgive his actions but will never forget them and the impact they had on my younger self.

A note to Richard Gadd. Your story touched me deeply and portrayed exactly my experience after my abuse first from my older brother followed by my now ex husband of 24 years. My soul has been touched and I’m grateful to you for your hard work in telling your story. I am certainly not a stalker but I have a tiny bit of insight into those who are so damaged that they do unspeakable things. This show has been a true gift. Thank you.

I worked security for this when they filmed Edinburgh fringe scenes. Was a nightmare lol so busy. Show looks great though and it turned out really well I think. Didn’t expect to enjoy it but was brilliant. Fair play to Richard for opening up about all that happened.

@@francine5936 yeah. Was so busy and so hot 😂 they couldn’t get any vehicles close to the filming areas so it all had to be carried or wheeled to each area 😂.

Richard Gadd is extremely brave and deserves all the praise. By making his case accessible to the world, I hope much more compassion and understanding will be able to be given to trauma victims. Trauma is extremely messy and he is very brave to show its effects in such a raw way. Thanks for your service, Richard.

i’m a survivor and i’m half way through the series and i just realized a baby deer is a “fawn”.. like the trauma response 😭. when i first started watching the word was at the tip of my tongue. thank you for this. it wasn’t even the scenes that got me as much as your dialogue, trying to make sense of everything. like trying to grasp on to something, anything concrete to keep you from falling into the deep recesses of your mind. that’s when i had started reading this book on trauma responses and learned fight/flight/freeze/fawn types. the response is just as much a part of one’s story as the trauma itself

I absolutely adore him. It takes a lot to bare your soul to the world the way he has. As they said, there is no hero and no villain. There is a lot of gray in the world, and a lot of humans are still unable to take accountability for their own suffering and the suffering they create for others. I hope he heals completely & continues to grow more into the extremely emotionally intelligent human I see him as. Sending love to him and any other victim of the violence portrayed in the show 💔

The strength to act out his trauma is immense. People can’t imagine how much strength it sometimes takes to go through it for example in therapy but to act out so many of those scenes is absolutely unimaginable for me.
