Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos stands by Richard Gadd despite $170M lawsuit

Ted Sarandos remains adamant that ‘Baby Reindeer’ is a true story though some scenes are fictionalised

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos voiced his support for Richard Gadd, the writer and star of Netflix’s chart-topping reality-based drama Baby Reindeer.

During a recent interview with The Times of London newspaper, the CEO of the streaming giant defended the seven-episode shocker, saying that it is fictionalised as a television drama; however, this does not change the fact that the crime stalking plot is true.

“It was no one’s intent to use a label recklessly,” he said referring to the “true story” label attached to it. “That is Richard’s true story.”

“The fact that you’re watching on television says that parts of it were certainly fictionalised and dramatised” he explained, adding his disbelief, “I’m surprised that it’s a continued debate.”

For the unversed, Fiona Harvey, the woman who claimed to be the real-life stalker portrayed in Baby Reindeer as Martha, played by Jessica Gunning, filed a $170 million claim for damages in the Californian District Court against Netflix, suing for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and gross negligence.

She accused the series of wrongly portraying her as a criminal convicted for stalking who spent time behind the bars.

In addition, she also dismissed sexual assault claims from the show’s creator in the court documents, which also accuse that Netflix “told these lies, and never stopped, because it was a better story than the truth, and better stories made money.”

Hilarie Burton Morgan has recently dished out details about One Tree Hill reboot.

Speaking to PEOPLE, Hilarie revealed, “What I can say is that this go-around, being able to work with a team of women and look at these stories [and] these characters through a female lens is something that — whether I was doing a reboot or a new show or a different movie at this phase in my life, female teamwork is something that is so vital to me.”

Sharing her experience of working in a reboot, Hilarie stated, “It is the core of anything I’ve done that’s successful.”

“So, I’m excited to be able to team up with people that I look up to, people that I love dearly,” remarked the 42-year-old.

Hilarie opened up that she and Sophia Bush were shocked when the news of the reboot was being “leaked in August”.

However, the actress explained that the “nicest thing is seeing the positive fan reaction to it and all of our friends from the show commenting on posts and just getting to show enthusiasm, because obviously we want Netflix to greenlight it”.

Meanwhile, the reboot news came almost seven years after Hilarie and Sophia were among the 18 former female cast and crew members who accused One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn of sexual harassment.

Speaking to CR Fashion Book, the Maleficent actress opened up that some of her six children also have “tattoos”.

Chester Bennington’s mom says she feels ‘betrayed’ by Linkin Park

Chester Bennington’s son Jamie has also voiced his disapproval of the replacement

Chester Bennington’s mother, Susan Eubanks, has expressed her deep disappointment over Linkin Park’s decision to move forward with a new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, without notifying her.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Eubanks revealed that she found out about Armstrong, of Dead Sara, joining the band through an online search, despite promises from co-vocalist Mike Shinoda to keep Bennington’s family informed.

“I feel betrayed,” she stated. “They told me if they were ever going to do something, they would let me know. They didn’t let me know, and they probably knew that I [wasn’t] going to be very happy. I’m very upset about it.”

Eubanks also shared how difficult it is for her to see Armstrong perform songs originally sung by her late son, Chester, who passed away in 2017.

“Having her sing my son’s songs is hurtful,” she admitted.

She feels the band’s decision is erasing Chester’s legacy, saying, “It’s like making him go away, erasing the past.”

Previously, Chester’s son Jamie also slammed the band’s decision to bring Armstrong on board, considering her alleged past ties to the Church of Scientology and her initial support of convicted rapist Danny Masterson.
