I am honestly tired after reading her posts how is she not?!
She doesn't seem to stop does she, she jumps from 1 person/organisation to another in minutes.
Her brain must be chaos, she must crash after her rants?

Now imagine getting thousands of those messages to your phone number every single day, all day long while also being followed around by her

Possibly a unpopular opinion but I think Martha is a fictional character based very loosely on FH and maybe other experiences.
That's why he assumed she wouldn't recognise herself because alot of it isn't directly about her. But he obviously wasn't expecting the "curtains" tweet to pop up
Based off FH Facebook posts alone you can definitely imagine the emails she would of bombarded him with. But I think alot of the other stuff was probably dramatised to make it more interesting.

Allegedly an open secret in the comedy industry that it's his old producer GR
Surely his DM (if it's true), shows it's the (first) person named. [Not the initials above]. It is difficult to know what to trust on line though.

I said in an earlier post that I've made my mind up based on existing posts and that's true. However, it's important to add that I don't believe that necessarily means I'm right. It's just my opinion.

I feel that by him posting things like this on his Instagram stories, he’s revelling in it all a bit.
Definitely feels like he’s undermining the moral ambiguity created by the show? I know FH is clearly mentally unwell and throwing all kinds of shit out there but even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I think he’s a narcissist.

Finally! I have held off posting the n word to describe him so I totally agree

Agree about the nice boy scenario, the well to do posh ones we come across in life, they can be the most dangerous. I read somewhere he went to Madras but most posh kids around here go to the private High School of Dundee. I’ve met many a posh boy and coincidentally a few Fifers who come across as very prim and proper but they are nothing more than jumped up, entitled, stroppy little predators when they don’t get their own way. I am not saying for a minute RG is any of those things but like someone else said, he was setting my radar off big time from very early on. Like he was drip feeding the audience some of his wrong doings to prove he wasn’t claiming to be an angel but like I said before, him egging her on in the pub in front of his mates? If it’s in your character to be like that to someone clearly vulnerable then it’s very unrealistic that it happened once and once only. He’s only admitted to it once in the show but he could’ve done it a LOT more. That would also fit the jumped up posh boy stand off ish I’m better than you air they all seem to have about them. I can’t get over his accent either. Nobody from Wormit, Tayport, Newport or even the better parts of Dundee talk like that and she keeps calling him a Glasgow uni drop out. It’s well known in Scotland that many influencers/drama school types adopt what is known as the “Glasgow Uni Wanker accent” - it’s so fake. Also agree he’s loving all the attention the stuff he’s posting on his Insta stories. I don’t think someone who’s craved fame and validation for so long is going to cope when the next big thing comes along and him and his story start to dwindle, that could leave him in a very vulnerable state.

Idk, if someone went to the effort to make art of me I’d probably repost and thank them too

The problem is, if the show is anything to go by, he absolutely did not make himself out to be a ‘nice guy’ in that sense,
This is what’s so fascinating to watch about it all (to me anyway!) It’s shown the nuances in human behaviour. We are all shades of gray at heart.

I just saw the following comment:

This woman's own brother is on record as describing her as a manipulator of men and disowned her

I find this interesting. I wondered what her family thought

“I can’t emphasize enough how much of a victim she is in all this, Stalking and harassment is a form of mental illness. It would have been wrong to paint her as a monster, because she’s unwell, and the system’s failed her.” Richard Gadd

Can you link me to where he says she is a victim in this story? I have done quick google search but only thing I can find is him saying "she was a victim" talking about her past trauma.
i posted the first link that came to hand above but he’s quite insistent about it.

I hated the fact that RG's attacker took no ownership of the attacks when RG visited him later on . Invited him in as if nothing untoward had ever taken place. I'd wanted to punch his lights out.

RG didn't meet Martha untill after the drugs and his attack.

The abuser still has power then... need to know who he is, he's despicable!
