In his essay forThe Times, published on May 1, Stephen called the dark comedy drama-thriller miniseries “one of the best things” he’s ever seen.

The ordeal might’ve inspired the woman to give the literary world a run for itsmoney, as she announced on Friday (May 3): “Whos a ready for my wee book” before adding in another Facebook post: “Who is ready for my book.”
“If this twerp Stephen ding dong king tries to do a movie horror killer dear I’m suing him,” the woman wrote on Facebook
Given the show’s popularity—it has reached number 1 on Netflix charts in over 30 countries—it’s no surprise that Internet sleuths have worked collectively to discover the stalker’s real identity.
The unnamed 58-year-old woman told theDaily Mailon April 27 that she thought the script amounted to “bullying an older woman on television for fame and fortune” and claimed that she had received online “death threats and abuse from Richard Gadd supporters.”
“I’m the victim. He’s written a bloody show about me,” she said of the Scottish actor, writer, and comic.
The woman in question shared many similarities with Martha’s character: they’re both Scottish, around 20 years older than Richard, studied law at university, and have a history of stalking.
They also look alike. TheLondonresident told the news outlet that her on-screen persona “sort of looks like [her] after [she] put on four stone during lockdown, but [she’s] not actually unattractive.”
“I am very attractive. He’s notBrad Pitt,” she said at the time.
The presumed real-life Martha announced on Friday (May 3) that she was launching her own book
The woman’s claims come after the creator of the seven-part series urged viewers not to unmask the real-life Martha.
“Hi, everyone. People I love, have worked with, and admire (including Sean Foley) are unfairly getting caught up in speculation,” the 34-year-old wrote.
“Please don’t speculate on who any of the real life people could be. That’s not the point of our show. Lots of love, Richard.”
Bored Pandahas contacted Richard and Stephen’s respective representatives for comment.
“I do kinda feel a bit sorry for her,” a reader commented
