if you know how little is done for victims of stalking, this judgement makes a lot of sense. the law is grossly lax when it comes to predatory stalkers and they basically don’t care what happens to you until you’re physically harmed or dead
Of course this means she’s pretty much owning up to being a stalker. In the public record, even.

What I don’t get is that wouldn’t she not have even been recognized as the stalker the show was based on if she never spoke up?

so it was presented as a true story, is that what Netflix said?

Cases like this hurt victims and male victims more and more. Why go through all that trouble and spend all that money in court when an old fart can just say, “Actually, you weren’t stalked because of this little thing that we made up”?

People are free to tell their story. They said, I have a crazy stalker ex. I do everything I can to keep my head down and not to remind him I’m out there. It may be different for men though. Too many women are killed by their stalkers.

Interesting that Gadd apparently had reservations about adding that but Netflix insisted. I wonder how long that Netflix deal is going to hold up if that lawsuit, which Netflix probably dismissed as nothing but publicity, gets bigger and bigger

I guess I’m dense but I don’t get it. If Gadds truly believes she stalked him, then how does this fictional movie defame her? So she can sue because she was never charged with stalking in real life?
