After Piers Morgan’s interview with Fiona Harvey, the “real Martha”from Baby Reindeer, a man named Kyle Muir came forward, claiming to be her nephew. However, it has since been uncovered that this was all a deceitful ploy.
Despite being tracked down by Baby Reindeer fans and accused of being Richard Gadd’s real-life stalker, Harvey has sparked a huge debate among experts regarding the legal implications of depicting true stories in a TV setting.
During her appearance on Piers Morgan’s Uncensored chat show last week, Harvey addressed and denied several allegations made about her character Martha (played by Jessica Gunning). This included the claim that she had been convicted of stalking.
During the interview, she also disclosed that she was previously known as Fiona Muir-Harvey. This revelation not only provided insight into a stalking case from 25 years ago, but also prompted Kyle Muir to come forward.

Several Facebook comments from Kyle Muir stated that he was Fiona Harvey’s nephew and that she had spent four months in prison. However, he has now clarified that this information was not accurate and that it was meant as a joke that escalated.
Despite being arrested and charged with harassment at the end of Baby Reindeer, Martha was not convicted as there was no evidence against Harvey.
After her interview, Kyle shared multiple comments on Facebook, including one that said, “It’s my auntie! Check out Fiona Muir Piers Morgan’s Uncensored if you want the real truth!”
