Baby Reindeer won a blockbuster four awards at the 2024 Primetime Emmys in LA on Sunday - with Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning triumphing.

She's never shied away from stunning with her looks. And Ashley James stunned yet again in a dramatic sheer sequinned gown as she joined a slew of stars at the 2024 National Television Awards at London's O2 Arena on Wednesday. The former Made In Chelsea star, 37, put on a busty display in the revealing nude gown adorned with silver sequins.

The series was a hit and since become one of Netflix's most watched shows ever.  But the dark comedy thriller has came under fire from those who claim to have been depicted by the series. Fiona Harvey (pictured left) came forward claiming to be the inspiration behind Martha, alleging the story is inaccurate, and filed a lawsuit against Netflix. At the beginning of the first episode, text appears on the screen which says: 'This is a true story.' When asked about the controversy surrounding Baby Reindeer, vice president of UK content at Netflix Anne Mensah (pictured right) told the Edinburgh TV Festival what is 'amazing is that it really touched' people, citing an increase in men ringing hotlines to see help.

The streaming reportedly conceded that Martha Scott - who was quickly identified as Scottish lawyer Fiona Harvey in the 'true story' series - was only handed a court order over her interactions with the comedian. It comes after the Crown Prosecution Service previously told MailOnline Harvey was found not guilty of one count send by public communication network an offensive, indecent, obscene, menacing message, matter. The admission from Netflix, who billed the drama as being based on Gadd's real experience, came in a letter to British Parliament's Culture, Media and Sport Committee.

Richard Gadd (left) in a 21-page declaration filed in California court on Monday claimed he was 'harassed and stalked' by Fiona Harvey, (right) who says the character Martha on the widely viewed limited series is clearly based on her, for 'several years'. He alleged Harvey sent him 'thousands' of messages that 'often included sexually explicit, violent, and derogatory content, hateful speech, and threats', the court filing states. He also claimed to have made a complaint to UK police about her alleged behavior. Gadd's declaration was filed in support of Netflix's motion to dismiss Harvey's defamation suit, which it says is a 'baseless attack' on the company's freedom of speech. The company further argues that Baby Reindeer (pictured inset is a scene from the series) does not identify Harvey as an alleged abuser and is a 'substantially true' depiction of her alleged actions.

Martha Scott, the middle-aged stalker in Richard Gadd's Netflix hit Baby Reindeer , has become an unlikely fashion icon as Gen-Zs are reportedly rushing to get their hands on her mismatched wardrobe. Videos are circulating on TikTok of people recreating her look of maxi skirts, side bags and tight cardigans with the caption: 'Martha Scott fit check'.

The leader of the Workers' Party believes Ms Harvey, who is thought to be the stalker portrayed in the Netflix hit series written by comedian Richard Gadd, embarked on a 'relentless' campaign during his time as a Labour MP for Glasgow. Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Galloway said his stalker made 'hundreds of calls' and showed up to his office 'probably hundreds of times'. Baby Reindeer, which is said to be based on the real-life experiences of comedian and writer Mr Gadd, sees character Martha Scott - played by Jessica Gunning - stalk him after he offers her a free cup of tea in a pub where he works.

The 49-year-old Scot, who claims she is the inspiration behind the Netflix stalking drama, is suing the streaming giant for at least $170million for defamation and negligence. Speaking on News Nation 's CUOMO, Harvey's attorney Richard Roth argued that Harvey is not a public figure, adding that she felt she needed to reveal herself as the real-life Martha because she was being harassed. The show, which is said to be based on the real-life experiences of comedian and writer Richard Gadd, sees character Martha Scott - played by Jessica Gunning - stalk him after he offers her a free cup of tea in a pub where he works.

Richard Gadd, who is a Dundee supporter, wrote Baby Reindeer based on his own life and starred as the protagonist Donny Dunne, who falls victim to a campaign of stalking by Martha Scott after he served her in the pub. A video posted on X, formerly Twitter, shows a person with a striking resemblance to Gadd reacting to the game and smiling while wearing a Scottish football shirt. The footage was posted alongside the caption: 'Swear I just saw Richard Gadd on the Scotland v Switzerland game?' Many viewers of this evening's match agreed with the video's claim, insisting they also saw the Scot pop up on their screens.

Speaking to Piers Morgan Uncensored, Fiona Harvey's US legal representative Richard Roth said she had a 'very, very strong case' and said he expects Ms Harvey, Gadd and Netflix executives to testify in court in California. Ms Harvey is demanding £135 million from the streaming giant, claiming certain scenes in the hit Netflix show never happened, despite it being billed a true story. In a candid interview with Morgan, Roth said the fallout from the Baby Reindeer case 'could be a watershed moment for streaming TV'.

Fiona Harvey (left), who claims she is the inspiration behind character Martha (right), in Netflix's stalking drama Baby Reindeer, is suing the streaming giant for spreading 'brutal lies' because 'it was a better story than the truth'. The show, which is said to be based on the real-life experiences of comedian and writer Richard Gadd, sees character Martha Scott stalk him after he offers her a free cup of tea in a pub where he works. In the latest development, The Sun revealed yesterday that Ms Harvey's lawyers are now demanding the release of thousands of texts and emails as they wage the £135m lawsuit which was launched earlier this month.

Fiona Harvey, who claims the lead character of Baby Reindeer, Martha, is based on her life, is seeking at least £133 million in a lawsuit filed against Netflix. Harvey has accused the streaming platform of defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, gross negligence, and violations of her right of publicity in the lawsuit filed in a US court. In the new lawsuit filed on Wednesday, Harvey has accused Netflix of spreading 'brutal lies', including that she is a 'twice convicted stalker who was sentenced to five years in prison'.

Jessica Gunning has revealed how proud she is of Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd for inspiring a wave of previously silent sex assault victims to seek help - adding the pair have a 'really special bond'.  The actress, 38, who played stalker Martha in the Netflix smash hit series, also said she was surprised how it immediately took off as she expected it to only be a 'slow burner'.  The pair, along with their co-star Nava Mau, who played Richard's trans girlfriend Teri in the series, attended a screening of the show in New York City on Wednesday.  

When Baby Reindeer premiered in April, the British show instantly captivated viewers across the globe, becoming a cultural phenomenon discussed in droves. The series, which dramatizes the true story of how comedian Richard Gadd was stalked after he gave a woman referred to as 'Martha' a free cup of tea, is now on track to become one of the platform's most popular series of all time. But when asked about the show's immense acclaim recently, Netflix's CEO Ted Sarandos didn't highlight the shocking story, clever script, or impressive acting.

The black-comedy drama is based on writer and leading star Richard's experience of being stalked as he plays a fictionalised version of himself called Donny Dunn. Donny is a comedian and bartender who undergoes a harrowing ordeal when he is bombarded with thousands of emails from stalker Martha Scott, played by Jessica Gunning. Amid the huge success of the show, MailOnline takes a look at Australian celebrities who have revealed their own experiences with stalking.

Baby Reindeer star Jessica Gunning says she won't watch interviews with the woman her character is allegedly based on because of her loyalty to the show's creator. The 38-year-old, who plays Martha Scott in the hit Netflix show, said she is 'fiercely protective' of Richard Gadd and wants to avoid 'upsetting' him as the furore surrounding the show continues. The seven-part miniseries was written by Gadd, who says it is inspired by his real life experiences with a woman who allegedly stalked him, with the 35-year-old also playing the main character, Donny. However, since its release Fiona Harvey has come forward to claim Martha is based on her and has threatened legal action against the show's producers for painting a 'dishonest and false picture' of her.

Fiona Harvey allegedly sent the Labour leader a barrage of abusive messages in the space of eight months in which she used a disabled slur to attack his wife and gloated over two of his dead relatives. Harvey, 58, is accused of sending 276 vile emails to his parliament address between January and August 2020. In them, she calls him a 'stupid little boy', that he was a 'useless barrister', and launches an attack on his wife Lady Victoria Starmer who she says looks 'dreadful', reported The Sun. She signed all of the emails off with 'Sent from my iPhone ' - like those sent by Martha Scott in the hit Netflix series despite her sending them from a desktop computer.

Jessica Gunning is to return in The Outlaws for its next series. The actress, 38, shot to international fame as stalker Martha Scott in the runaway hit Baby Reindeer but will soon be returning to screen as Diane in The Outlaws. She initially played the role of the former juvenile delinquent-turned-supervisor for community service in the dark crime series for five episodes in the first two series.

Last night's explosive interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored sparked a row as viewers branded the TV chat 'highly irresponsible' and suggested Fiona Harvey was 'exploited for sensationalism and poor taste'. The Scottish woman claimed Mr Gadd never offered her a cup of tea during their first encounter - as is seen in the show - adding: 'Nobody gets anything for free in the Hawley Arms', referencing the pub where they allegedly met. Ms Harvey then claimed Mr Gadd 'commandeered the conversation' she was having with someone else at the bar, adding: 'He seemed to be obsessed with me from that moment onwards.'

The real-life 'Martha' from Baby Reindeer claims she has been bombarded with calls since Richard Gadd's Netflix drama became a global sensation. The woman, who MailOnline is not naming, has claimed that since the release of the show, she has been inundated with calls from 'foul-mouthed' publicists or agents trying to book her. The Scot is set to break her silence in her first ever TV interview with journalist Piers Morgan tonight.
