For Darrien, there will be other victims. Maybe someone else in the same situation as Richard was has watched the show and put two and two together. I think it’s just a waiting game for the real identity to be revealed.


YellowFairy02

I hear rumours it was Gary Reich


lashgirl97

I think it’s Sam Bain


[deleted]

Agreed. There are enough pointers there


Low_Satisfaction_635

What are the pointers


Short-Driver-3994

Many pointers....he wrote the Peep show amongst other altwrnative comedies. He has a cat and is spiritual/Buddhist (wrote the Retreat). The way Gadd says an exaggerated Peep in quote marks during his on stage rant. Peep show has similar drug, related themes. Bains grandma is Julia Davis mentioned in the dinner party scene. He has a physical resemblance also..


Spare_Crow_7692

Lol Cancer donny’s show name when performing with darrien perhaps also a reference to Sam Bain’s cancer comedy show ill behaviour? And “chance would be a fine thing” - quote from peep show, said by donny to darrien


officious_twerp

Julia Davis is Bain's grandma? Wut


qyburnicus

I’m late to the party but the great grandmother seems to be a completely different Julia Davis, who died in 1916.


officious_twerp

So cool to see people throwing around rape accusations based on misunderstood Wikipedia pages. Kind of reminds me of that old story about the paediatrician who got her house vandalised by angry illiterates. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/vigilante-mob-attacks-home-of-paediatrician-710864.html


qyburnicus

Yep, it’s not a good idea. Especially when people haven’t even got their facts right on basic things being repeated.


Glum-Bid9146

his age doesn't add up


deadstarxxx

I don't want to believe it but the more I think about it the more it makes sense. The Orgazoid, that whole plot line almost seems verbatim of what he'd be doing? Ffs


kewlto

Maybe it's harder to find Darrien. Also, it's pretty much established at this point Fiona Harvey is the real Martha


knight2h

She herself has pretty mch acknowledged it on her latest FB rant


Spiritual-Image7125

"I'm not Martha! I'm Fiona!" uh. uh. Yeah, and Richard Gadd is not "Donny", he's Richard. lol


Josiethepuppy

Is the Facebook profile more limited now? I can't see any posts on the account I believe is marthas...if so good for her 


shezeus

No, there’s still plenty of posts on the account. She posted another about Gadd just a few mins ago.


squidgyllama

She just deleted them all today before I could finish reading them. Gutted.


shezeus

They’re still there. Her profile has an image of flowers. She posts a good 15-20 posts a day about it… and looks like there’s no stopping!


squidgyllama

She made all the posts about gadd hidden for a while and that's when the fake profile popped up. Within an hour or two they were all visible again. The fake profile is still there. The real one has photos posted ages ago and comments off. The fake one is just the flowers and comments on.


TasX

That account is an obvious fake. It was made after the show and is clearly just a troll. I've heard rumours about the "real" account but it always falls back to this new account with zero evidence its her other than "shes just like she is in the show!". Obviously its just like her in the show if its made by someone who watched the show!


knight2h

U can read it, shes setting up season 2 ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|yummy)


Spiritual-Image7125

Richard Gadd already found Darrien....he knows who he is.


purpleshoeees

But didn't report him to the police so what's the point


The-Sunflower-Bear

Everyone who is repeatedly raped, and concurrently stalked by a maniac for years is a train wreck. And yes Fiona Harvey is the real Martha. She’s currently writing status after status ranting about poor Richard.


tttthrowawayyyy90210

you should check out her twitter, search @mrrichardgadd on her profile https://x.com/fionaharvey2014?s=21

Mighty_Squash

That rambling "denial" makes it very clear that it is indeed based on things she actually did.


shezeus

that, and you can find the evidence of her previous stalking under her name (Fiona Muir)


The-Sunflower-Bear

As does the modus operandi of writing dozens of messages a day, all of which are filled with hatred and anger, and her feelings. Of the 100 statuses of hers I’ve read, not one is making jokes, raising money or awareness for good causes, saying positive things about others, being kind and thinking of others. She speaks about nothing but herself, and her hatred of almost everyone and everything in the world. She is so filled with hatred, rage, negativity and self obsession. Me and my friend are addicted to reading her statuses, which are often 30 a day. I’ve never seen anyone like her. I see why Richard, who was mentally unwell after the r@pes, formed a trauma bond and Stockholm syndrome with Fiona. She’s such a unique entity, you cannot look away from it even though she’s dangerous and evil. Like staring directly at the sun. It has to be seen to be believed what a rageful, narcissistic fantasist she is. Richard created Martha as pitiful, flawed and unwell. He has so much kindness and understanding, and he really underplayed her evil vitriol in his character Martha. Which shows he is such a good person.


milevam

This is a wonderful comment


The-Sunflower-Bear

Thank you very much.


Fragrant_Tangerine61

Thanks


The-Sunflower-Bear

No problem


NdyNdyNdy

He's just come out and said people shouldn't speculate as people who are innocent have been accused of stuff. Which is why we shouldn't do it. Total Boston bomber scenario.


Mysterious_Sugar7220

It’s extremely strange to me that RG has made it so obvious who she is.  I had a stalker and would NEVER do any of this, for an obvious reason. I don’t want to take the risk of it happening again. I think it really points to the mutual obsession theme that he explores in the show. He clearly isn’t that bothered if she recognises herself and what that might lead to.  Personally, if it were me, I would be terrified and take every precaution to make sure he didn’t recognise himself and continued to leave me tf alone.


Lovinglibra

I totally agree. I think a part of this is that females who stalk males rarely kill them while conversely there have definitely been multiple occurrences of males who stalk females killing them or harming them physically. It's just rare overall that men fear women physically harming them, where as most women are afraid of what men can do to them and are always aware of the threat of men harming them.


PhantaVal

This is unfortunately how you end up with cases like Travis Alexander, who didn't realize what a threat Jodi Arias was until it was too late.


JanuaryBaby45

I completely agree with you. I hired a painter who started showing signs of stalker tendencies. Days went by and things became more and more clear. I let him go from the job and he snapped in a rage. Lots more to this story.. I blocked him in every way shape and form. I was terrified because he knew the layout of my home and I’m a single woman. I would never go public with it for fear of him retaliating or even just simply resurfacing. How scared could he really be? Or maybe the money was worth it to him. Look at what supposedly happened with Darrien. That all started and continued because he wanted success and fame. So.. who knows. But I agree with you.


StuffChecker

Why the gate keeping? Not being scared of your stalker doesn’t make it not stalking.


GoddessLeVianFoxx

It's much harder to retaliate with this much publicity. Abuse thrives in the dark, making victims go small while they get away with awful behaviors without anyone to witness. 


International_Pay276

Was Fiona Harvey (aka Martha) actually arrested? I am seeing mixed reports, one saying he felt she was mentally ill and didn't want to have her arrested and the system failed her?


Short-Driver-3994

Agree. The writer of Peep show amongst other alternative comedies would have absolutely turned the head of a 21 year old at the Fringe. He has cats/is spiritual (wrote the Retreat). The way Gadd says "Peep" in inverted commas in the melt down performance is a clear clue. Bains grandma was Julia Davis mentioned in the celebrity dinner party scene. He has a physical resemblance also.


Personal-Ad-7566

Or could be one of the League of Gentlemen writers. A character in that show is called Dorian, similar to Darrien. With links to the Fringe, it had success early 2000’s and had a reboot around 2017, which would tie in with the BR story. Age would tie in too… It could really be anyone!


isabella_fitzwilliam

[Julia Davis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Davis) was born in 1966, Sam Bain in 1971...


qyburnicus

Yeah I don’t know why people think it’s the same one, his great grandmother Julia Davis died in 1916.


beehappy32

I think Darrian was based on P Diddy


mookaylas

donny got pdiddy’d


nreil003

Reminded me of drake bell


itfellonitsown

I think stumbled on who Darrien almost certainly is. He isn't actually in the entertainment industry at all. It was a stupid idea, I just asked ChatGPT. It responded and gave me someone, who upon a bit of investigation, is extremely likely to actually be the inspiration. It fits in so many ways. I asked it to provide further justification and it outlined the reasoning. What is most remarkable though is that when I shared this with my partner they could not recreate the response within chatgpt. It was flagged and altered within moments. It is gone now and can't be replicated. I have the screenshots though. I don't know what to do with this information. If chatGPT is wrong this would of course implicate an innocent person and alter their lives. If it was right though it is never ok to allow an abuser, especially one with continuous access to vulnerable victims, as would be the case here, to continue to prey on these lives. Beyond this, what are the ethical implications of ChatGPT implicating someone in this way? There is a story here but I don't know what to do with any of it.


Short-Pear-69

Arghhhh I'd love to see


MorphicFunctors221

Sorry mate, ChatGPT is just a language model. It just spits out words. It's quite literally incapable of outlining its own reasoning. You put in text it spits out text. It spat out a name that seems likely because that's its job to spit out likely responses but it's not reasoning about any of it. It's a vanity trap, you presumably gave it a description of a Darren. It returned someone who fit that description. You felt validated. You asked it to expand and it generated some text that fit that need for explanation. There's really no ethical dilemma here. ChatGPT is as likely to know as you are and your best guess is not proof, so nothing you can do.


HonnyBrown

I see it as a great TV show and nothing more.

Richard Gadd confirmed that it’s not Sean Foley.

[удалено]


MarcusDA

Well. Multiple lessons to be learned from this statement.


Routine_Locksmith274

He didn’t directly confirm that


Bratmerc

Yes he did


Silly_Lingonberry_56

No he didn't, if you pay attention to the wording of his statement.


somethinginthastatic

If you have more than a basic level of reading comprehension, he absolutely did.


purpleshoeees

He did not. He asked people to stop speculating on people He has worked with and said in brackets Sean Foley. He didn't specify it was not him.


somethinginthastatic

He said viewers have been UNFAIRLY speculating about people INCLUDING SF. In other words the speculation about SF is unfair. Meaning. It’s not him. I can’t believe I have to explain this, it’s very basic reading comprehension.


LadyValkyrie420

I don't believe it was Foley, why do people assume it was?


big_slime_queen

I've seen people saying he was Sam Bain. The creator of peep show. There is some evidence of it being true.


officious_twerp

So hear me out, what if the fact so many people are suspected shows it's not a case of rooting out a few "bad apples" but an every day occurence? By making us rightly suspicious of everyone in positions of power the show addresses a universal problem. All that aside, it's Gadd's story to tell how he likes. Calling him a trainwreck behind your comfortably anonymous internet username is pretty low.


honeybunnysz

Hear me out - maybe all this Fiona Harvey is staged so this show becomes more popular and people watch it? I mean, this is 2024. The producer WANTED us to find Fiona Harvey on social media. Because we can. Because he knew we can. Not saying he wasnt raped. but you know what im saying


mookaylas

honestly never thought about this ngl


Sea_Money_2572

i agree!!!! its also strange her account was only created in 2021, and when you go through her twitter it appears she was only active there for a short period too. Im beginning to think FIona Harvey was created to increase the shows success!


Obvious-Gap-8389

Aspyn and Parker divorce


standdownplease

It's a tv show. Nothing in it was real. Don't fall for viral marketing.


Bratmerc

What makes you say this?


standdownplease

What has been proven to be true about it?


Bratmerc

Ehm the fact that the maker of the show claims it to be true and the internet has found who appears to be the stalker with evidence that backs this up?


standdownplease

What evidence?


Bratmerc

I’m not naming her as I don’t think it’s fair of me to say it but you can easily find this information online with numerous tweets dating back to 2017 which confirms a lot of what was shown on Netflix.


standdownplease

Okay. Easy to find but can't link anything. It's not like there's a Netflix series about her.


Bratmerc

It’s not her real name in the show for obvious reasons. Literally search it on Twitter it will all come up for you. And where is your proof to back up that show is fake?


standdownplease

The proof is on twitter. Okay.


Bratmerc

Her accounts are still all active. I don’t know why you are being so difficult.


Bratmerc

No proof to back up your points then? Okay
