Richard Gadd, the creator of the hit Netflix limited series “Baby Reindeer,” based on real events from the comedian’s life, became a surprise sensation at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards despite the $170 million defamation lawsuit the show is currently facing.

Richard Roth, the lawyer for Fiona Harvey, 'Baby Reindeer's real-life Martha, has responded to the show's success at the Emmy Awards.

“Baby Reindeer” got three other nods at the Primetime Emmys: Nava Mau was nominated for supporting actress alongside Gunning, while Tom Goodman-Hill was nominated for supporting actor and Weronika Tofilska was nominated for directing. All, including Gadd and Gunning, were first-time nominees.
