Netflix Seeks Dismissal of $170M Defamation Suit Over “Baby Reindeer” Series



Netflix has filed a motion to dismiss a $170 million defamation lawsuit in a California federal court. The lawsuit was brought by a Scottish lawyer who claims the streaming service’s miniseries “Baby Reindeer” defamed her. In a declaration, the creator of the show contended that the program is an “emotionally true” fictionalized work inspired by his personal experiences of being stalked by the lawyer over several years.
