Aberdeenshire's Fiona Harvey brands Piers Morgan 'a bully' ahead ...
The real-life Martha from the hit show Baby Reindeer, has labelled Piers Morgan a "bully" and a "twerp" following their intense TV interview. The 58 year old accused the outspoken presenter of "triggering" her emotions during their conversation for his YouTube channel, which is set to air tonight.
Earlier this week, Morgan teased the 'world exclusive' on X, formerly known as Twitter, posting a photo with Harvey from the set of his Piers Morgan Uncensored YouTube show.
He excitedly announced: "*WORLD EXCLUSIVE* The real-life Martha from Baby Reindeer breaks cover and gives me her first TV interview about the smash hit Netflix show. [Redacted] wants to have her say and 'set the record straight.' Is she a psycho stalker? Find out tomorrow on @PiersUncensored."

However, mere hours before the 8pm airing, Harvey expressed her disdain on Facebook, stating: "Piers is a twerp. But we [already] know this."
She continued, "You will see in my interview I'll let the [interview] speak for itself. Piers is a bully, we all know that. He triggers emotions. But this interview will get more views. By far most of his other interviews with all misogynist men he often defends Andrew Tate, Donald Trump."
Harvey, originally from Fyvie in Aberdeenshire, expressed dissatisfaction with the line of questioning Piers Morgan pursued during her interview, as exclusively reported by The Record yesterday. She likened the experience to a "sparring match" and was compelled to deny Piers' assertions that she "loved" Richard Gadd, the Fife-born individual she is accused of stalking in the Netflix series, reports the Daily Record.
"There was a heavy emphasis from Piers Morgan on Gadd and the emails I am supposed to have sent. I have my own thoughts on it that I'd like to keep to myself but I wouldn't say I was happy. It was very rapid to try to trip me up. He did it fast paced to catch me off guard."
"Piers kept saying to me 'are you sure you haven't sent this guy 41,000 emails and phone calls? '. A lot of the interview, for a good 10 minutes, he kept coming back to this."
"I said, 'Look, Even if I had sent some emails, it doesn't mean I'm guilty of the rest of the stuff. As I said, in order to bill something as a true story, it's got to be pretty much 100% true."
"It seemed to me that I was set up. I feel a bit used."
She added: "Piers said it went well. He referred to it as a sparring match. He landed a few punches on me and I landed a few punches on him. He asked me if I loved Richard Gadd and I said you've got to be joking."
Harvey revealed she received only £250 for the half-hour interview. During the programme, the Scots law graduate will candidly discuss being identified as comedian Richard Gadd's alleged stalker.
The broadcast is set to air on the broadcaster's YouTube channel, which boasts 2.58 million subscribers, at 8pm on Thursday.
