Baby Reindeer star Richard Gadd has candidly revealed the truth behind his own stalking ordeal, which saw him harassed for the best part of ten years after one act of kindness
When Baby Reindeer first hit our screens, it’s safe to say that the chilling Netflix series didn’t hold any punches as it followed the ordeal of one well intentioned stranger after his simple act of kindness led to a sustained campaign of stalking and harassment.
Yet while the series is an intense but captivating watch, it is also underpinned by one dark truth in particular: the same thing actually happened to Richard, when a stalker dominated his life for the best part of ten years. Ahead of the show’s launch, Scottish comedian Richard, took part in a special Q&A session where revealed that he had made the decision to revisit his ordeal in a fictionalised format to help him find some kind of “catharsis.
“There was a period in my life where I thought my life was going so wrong so badly that I could no longer be the guy that went on stage with a silly hat, telling stupid jokes. I just couldn't do that anymore. So my life had taken this dark turn.” Finding comfort in bringing his story to the public, the star added: “I did a few live shows about incidents that, of negativity that happened to me. I got a great deal of comfort from that and now let's see how much comfort I get to do it to 260 million people.”
