NETFLIX boss: I misled parly about Martha

Boss wrongly told MPs series was a true story

- JOHN DINGWALL

NETFLIX has admitted it misled Parliament when a boss told MPs that Baby "real life Reindeer's Martha" Fiona Harvey was a convicted stalker.

In a bombshell letter to the UK Parliament, the streaming giant's UK boss Benjamin King also admits the hit series WAS based on Harvey, 59.

This appears to contradict claims made by Netflix lawyers this week that Scots law graduate Harvey was not the inspiration for Martha.

On Monday, the streaming giant launched a bid to throw out Harvey's £132million lawsuit against the company in the US courts.

Now it has been revealed it submitted a letter to the Culture, Media and Sport Committee recently in which it admitted the show was based on Harvey.
