Gadd continued: "Keep going and I promise you things will be okay." This significant victory follows a directive by lawyers that Richard Gadd should not discuss the legal controversy surrounding his Emmy-nominated drama series.
Gadd, along with other Emmy nominees and co-stars Jessica Gunning, Nava Mau, and Tom Goodman-Hill, were all cautioned by legal advisors not to comment on the off-screen issues plaguing the Netflix series. Gadd refrained from discussing or answering questions about the multi-million dollar lawsuit from the real-life Martha or addressing any of her allegations at several Emmy events over the weekend. The entire cast was also warned against "going anywhere near the subject of Harvey", who had filed a £136m - $170 million - lawsuit against the streaming service for defamation, negligence, and privacy violations.
Despite PR advisors requesting the media to avoid discussing the issues, cast members at Los Angeles events, including The Hollywood Reporter Nominee Party and BAFTA LA Tea Party, made it clear that discussions about Harvey were off-limits. A visibly nervous Gadd responded to questions about Harvey by saying: "I cannot really speak about it because that is part of a wider legal case I am afraid." An insider reported that Mau avoided the topic at the THR party, stating: "It's a night for celebration", before publicists whisked her away from interviewers.
The lawsuit involving Harvey casts a significant shadow over Baby Reindeer's success, despite its 11 nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards. Gadd, 35, reiterated to several outlets: "The show's had such a positive impact on charities and stuff like that. Back in the UK abuse charity referrals are up 80% and stalking charities are up 47%.
" The series followed a struggling comic, Donny Dunn, played by Gadd, facing harassment and stalking by a woman named Martha Scott, played by Gunning, for more than four years..
