Stalking from the Past
British politician and writer, George Galloway, has spilled the beans on an old secret. He alleges he’s another victim of Fiona Harvey’s obsessive stalking spree, dating back to the 1980s. The revelation came to light during an episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” that aired recently.
Galloway recounts his experiences, saying, “She was always there— at every corner, every turn. At first, I mistook her obsessive attention as a crush, but it wasn’t me she wanted. It was my job. She was relentless, physical, and her thrill was to be up-close-and-personal.”
Galloway’s Willingness to Testify
These allegations come amidst an ongoing lawsuit between Harvey and Netflix. Harvey, who claims to be the real-life inspiration for the deranged stalker character in “Baby Reindeer,” is charging Netflix for defamation. “Everywhere I turned, she was there. She called me hundreds of times and showed up probably hundreds of times,” Galloway shares, ready to back up his claims in court.
Harvey’s Denial and Lawsuit
In an earlier interview, Harvey flat-out denied allegations of stalking the Netflix series creator, Richard Gadd. She stated that she may have had minor exchanges with Gadd, but nothing fit the description of stalking.
Now she’s come forward, suing the streaming giant for $170 million, alleging false defamation of character. She believes Netflix used her as the canvas for an exaggerated and unhinged predator character, multiplying her exchanges with Gadd by hundreds and sensationalizing it for the TV series.
Allegations of False Portrayal
In the lawsuit against Netflix and Gadd, Harvey asserts that the accusations of her being a two-time stalker, a five-year prison inmate, and a sexual assaulter have all been made-up, damaging her reputation and life.
She blames Netflix and Gadd for discrediting her character and feeding audiences “brutal lies” leading to her defamation. The lawsuit reads, “Netflix and Gadd destroyed her reputation, her character, and her life due to their lies and utterly reckless conduct.”
Netflix’s Response to Harvey’s Suit
Netflix hasn’t backed down in the face of the lawsuit. The streaming service argues they have every right to back their creators. They expressed their intent to “defend this matter vigorously and stand by Richard Gadd’s right to tell his story.”
Latest Developments
Harvey’s lawyer reached out to Variety, dismissing Galloway’s new allegations as vague and unrelated to the ongoing suit against Netflix. Regardless, the outcome of this real-life drama remains to be seen.
As secrets continue to unfurl and characters from the past come forward, the story just keeps getting more enthralling. Nothing remains to be confirmed; neither Gadd’s, Harvey’s nor Galloway’s sides of the story. Stay tuned as we unpack the layers of this sensational drama in every forthcoming scoop.
