The woman who allegedly inspired the character Martha in the widely popular Netflix drama series “Baby Reindeer” is suing the streaming giant for alleged defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence, over its alleged depiction of her.

The lawsuit, filed on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California by lawyers for Fiona Harvey, 58, also accuses the Los Gatos, California-headquartered company of gross negligence, and violations of her right of publicity.
