    Fiona Harvey Analysis: • Fiona Harvey (Baby Rei...
    Creator and star of the recent Netflix series “Baby Reindeer” has received a substantial increase in media attention as his series has gone viral. In response to the series, Fiona Harvey has come forward claiming to be “Martha” from the show. She partook in a long interview over on Piers Morgan’s show, which I held an analysis on (linked above). In response to that analysis, people have asked that I analyze Gadd’s body language so that we can have a clearer picture of the entire situation. This is that analysis.

      Annnnd I'm commenting once again (after you deleted my last comment) to alert your viewers to your lack of qualifications and the damage your channel does to those watching, especially the neurodivergent community. If you are neurodivergent, don't take what Logan says about body language to heart. There is no "correct" way to behave and there is no way to read body language in the way that Logan suggests. Nonverbal behaviour does not correspond directly to single units of meaning. They're highly context dependent and polysemous. Logan, if you ever want to address my comments let's jump on a call so I can dismantle you.

    That verbal stammer around the question about the things he did wrong 11:07 is IMO connected to his feelings of shame. Not everything in body behavior is solely related to honesty or dishonesty-there’s a whole host of other emotional processing going on when talking about such intensely vulnerable issues, especially in a public sphere. These are hard things to talk about one-on-one, let alone while being broadcasted. Admitting you played a part in your own victimization comes with a lot of shame, so it makes sense that there are “discordant” responses to a question that brings that up. That doesn’t make the response variation suspicious-it’s completely understandable.

      Emphatically agree. I was horribly stalked by a mentally ill man in the 90’s; in the beginning I pitied him and tried to “talk reason” to him (the worst thing one can do, just makes it worse!) Finally I sought help and it took a good long time to be taken seriously. One policeman even laughed when I called to report this man lurking round my house and peeking into my windows (me: “I’m really scared. This person is obviously mentally sick!” Cop: (snickers) “Maybe he just likes you!”

    I know this won't be a popular comment but as a survivor, parts of this video upset me. First of all, the title of the video suggests that there's a good possibility that Gadd is lying about everything. And saying the fact that Gadd affirmed he wasn't " fully innocent" in the situation is a marker of his authenticity...I get it I really do but but it feels like you're saying that all survivors must acknowledge how they fucked up and how their own actions contributed to their victimization in order to be believed. I know you're an expert in your field, and that's why I enjoy your content, but I think more care should be taken when discussing the credibility of someone who has shared their story of abuse, especially when the only conflicting account came from their alleged abuser.

In his mind he's likely trying to get out all the necessary points within a limited time frame. And Esp when people are being interviewed early in the morning, there's even further pressure to be more animated and energetic than you actually feel. Also, Brits tend to be far more humble when giving speeches, interviews or when receiving awards.

A lot of ppl dont speak up bc of the guilt and shame, thinking that they must have done it to themselves and deserve it. If you've never lived it, it's so hard to understand why ppl "go back" to that person or situation over and over again. You question yourself so much.

    It also should be noted that expert body language analysis is not admissible as evidence in UK Courts, as there’s literally no consistent behavioral proof of lying. Informal analysis by officers, juries, etc, does come into play, though. Body language analysis can only indicate discomfort (like how any person can be uncomfortable under high stress situations (like a police or TV interview)), and all that can be done is to press that discomfort into revealing a lie. There’s literally no body language indicator of lying, only discomfort.

      This is what irks me about cops in America. They think that lie detector are so accurate! Like, no, just no. If I'm going to believe someone is guilty, it's through evidence, not a machine that's just picking up abnormal heart beats that can mean nothing. If I was ever strapped to a lie detector, they would think I was always lying because I get so nervous and my heart rate sky rockets! I would fail it miserably I think. So I worry that if I'm ever falsely accused of a crime, because I am not a criminal so it would be falsely accused ha ha, that if my innocence relies upon that of a machine, I fear I would end up in prison.

    @ObserveUA-cam
    This video (and many others) made me feel physically ill. When I was a teenager, I was kind to the group of kids (put in "special ed" for behavioral and developmental challenges) that everyone else either ignored or bullied. Many of these kids then turned around and stalked or physically a**aulted me. The only response I got from my teachers was that this was happening because I was "too nice." Even when the teachers witnessed me being hara**ed, they never intervened.
    So, I spent most of my adolescence and early adulthood blaming myself. Could I have benefited from learning to set boundaries or reframing my idea of "being nice"? Yes. But no one offered me that guidance. And those lessons should have always come after the assurance that I was not responsible for other people's behavior.
    But instead, I believed there was something wrong with me. And this only made me more vulnerable to further ab*se in the future.
    I don't fault Gadd for telling his story and explaining how victims feel shame and claim responsibility for their ab*se. Without this side, victims would be more likely to report incidents right away. They would not have conflicted feelings about their ab*ser. It is the "grey" area that makes excuses and minimizes the pain.
    I just can't believe the number of people talking about Gadd's responsibility in being stalked. You can educate a victim on how to recognize signs of unhealthy relationships, how to set appropriate boundaries, what steps to take if you feel you are a victim, etc. But a victim is NEVER responsible for the behavior of their ab*ser. They did not "play a part" in it. Offering someone a cup of tea, listening to their voice-mails, feeling flattered by their attention, sharing inside jokes... please tell me which of these things encourage someone to stalk you? In any other relationship, these behaviors would have been normal human interactions. It is the stalkers response that changes these.
    Our attitudes towards these things do shape how victims feel and how they respond. Please educate yourself on the issue before platforming your opinions.

Although we could very well think of it as signs of honesty or deceit, I would rather see it as vulnerability and the experiences he has had vs the clear signs of NPD that she exhibits.

    Can't believe the disgusting way a victim of sa and stalking is being treated. The point of the show was that sa makes people more vulnerable to future experiences of ab*se. Saying things like he "enabled" or "encouraged" the stalking just further causes victims to question themselves. People question why he didn't report the stalker earlier and yet just read this comment section (or listen to this "expert's" comments).
    Do people really think that him sharing his experiences of drug use, sa, and stalking are for money? Even if he was making the whole thing up, no one wants to become famous for a story like the one he shared.
    The lack of critical thinking is also demonstrated in people's inability to understand how the show could be a true story and still have some fictional aspects. "It's based on an experience, but it's not the true story as stated " WTF? Do people not understand that this is Gadd sharing his story?! Even documentaries are told from a certain perspective, but this is not a documentary. These are actors playing out the events from Gadd's perspective.
    And there are lots of reasons why details are changed in the dramatic retelling, including the fact that humans don't have perfect memories and some things need to be added to fill in the gaps. Sometimes time-lines are altered to make a cohesive story. I have never seen this amount of scrutiny held to a retelling of true events.
    And so many of you are empowering this woman to further victimize Gadd. Now she has found a way back into his life. She's able to smear him very publicly. She is gaining control over aspects of his life (by calling him into court and by demanding he produce evidence to Parliament). I can't express how angry it makes me feel to see what had initially been an empowering experience for many victims now be turned into further traumatizing victims.
    The amount of times this video praised how Gadd framed the "gray" areas of stalking was disturbing. Many victims feel conflicted about their relationship with their ab*ser. SA and stalking rarely happens in the sensationalized way it is depicted in the media. And most victims blame themselves or feel they played some part in their ab*se. Gadd's story accurately reflected the conflict that victims often face and how that allows them to continue relationships with their ab*sers, to fail to report ab*se, and to victims in the future. But that doesn't mean that people should be discussing the role the victims play in their ab*se (unless they are professionally trained in a field that allows them insight to this issue).

      How are you getting that he is being mistreated? He says he may FEEL he enabled or encouraged. Big difference. We often have misplaced guilt and self blame or shame for things that are not our fault at all. I did not take any of this video as abusing him or saying he is somehow at fault.

    • @rachelknight2931
      @rachelknight2931 Місяць тому +2

      First, I mentioned that victims often feel a sense of responsibility for the abuse. They blame themselves which leads to shame and guilt. It makes it harder for them to report the abuse. But victims do not bear any responsibility for the abuse. It doesn't matter what he did, the abuse is 100% on the abuser. It's not a "grey" area. Inside jokes, feeling flattered by the attention, listening to voicemails...none of these actions should lead to abuse.
      As far as this particular video, around 5:30 he starts to talk about how he appreciates that Gadd presents the grey area of his situation. He says Gadd "takes on a level of responsibility for his own actions"....."realistically speaking he does hold a level of responsibility for the actions that enabled or opened doors" "he himself is not claiming that he is completely innocent either"
      That is insane. Would we speak that way about a child? Do victims often FEEL they bear some responsibility in their abuse? Yes. But we should be reassuring Gadd that the two people that abused him are the ones responsible for the abuse. He is not. He could have acted the exact same way around me and I would not have done those things to him. Victims will always struggle with telling others about their abuse as long as our society keeps telling them they bare some responsibility for the abuse they suffered.

      People bring up the scene of him m**terb*ting while thinking of Martha. Or him joking with her. Or listening to her messages over and over. None of these behaviors are abusive. I feel like I've said this a thousand times now, but none of his behaviors excuse his abusers. The exact same behavior around healthy people would not trigger a sa or stalking.
      I thought we were past the discussion of "why didn't she just leave him?" Victims often have personal relationships with their abusers.

It raises more awareness of the fact that stalking victims and especially male victims don't get taken seriously by the justice system. Idk it all seems like he wants to poke the bear and antagonize his real stalker with how he never made any effort to disguise her identity. The reason everyone is focused on Fiona Harvey is due to the fact she was easy to find. The SA perpetrator isn't easy to find because Richard made it hard to identify him and even came out specifically to say the person people thought it was isn't his abuser and to leave that guy alone. He didn't comment on Fiona. He wants drama with that woman.

      I think he is confused, and was simply fine with it for the chance at fame and when that didn't happen his story changed.

    Hey, I don't if it was an error or an editing choice? But during the whole reading the screen was glitching and lines were apearing on the screen. I got worried my TV was broken to start with, so went to check other videos 😂 but I think it's just your video? Not sure what it was but it was a little distracting 😅 I think this video was great btw, really loved your martha one too!

    Fairly random and this may not be it at all but on the glitches, if you use Premiere Pro (I don't know if you do) I've had glitches, maybe bigger and more spread out but similar-ish. I found that switching from a .mp4 file to a .mts file fixed it. I don't know why that works though cos I had to ask someone else how to fix it as I couldn't find any info online.

    Both the interview and this analysis make me very uncomfortable bc there's no "gray area" when it comes to his status as a victim. Nothing could justify the actions of his abusers. The point of showing all that was to illustrate that there's no such thing as "the perfect victim." NOT to show that he's partially responsible.

    Thank you for remaining clinical and sticking with a fair, honest video breaking this down for us.
    Some have jumped on team "Martha" after Fiona wnt on Morgan's show, and frankly she (Fiona) made Martha seem like a SUPREMELY kind interpretation-- IF Fiona is the real Martha.
    I have little doubt she is, but she denied it at first.
    This whole thing has kicked off.
    I appreciate you being fair and pointing out both the good and questionable.

    24:56 I’m the opposite. When something bad is happening or I’m in a bad way, I sympathize when I see someone who has it worse. Like yesterday.. I’m really having a hard time finding work, in between caretaking for my mother, so I’m struggling financially. Well I saw a man standing in the road with a sign. I’ve seen him before but I was always driving past the green light. Well even though a dollar means a lot for me right now, I gave him the $3 bills I had on me.

    I'm really grateful that he came forward about his experiences. I've heard a lot of takes victim blaming him, from " he just wants money and attention" to "he exposed her identity." But people are never obligated to stay silent to protect the identity of their abusers.

    As someone else in the comments has said the only verbal stammer he has shows it is his feelings connected to his shame. The thing is he never has named her, he spoke of his experiences and spoke of scenes done for dramatic purposes. She chose to jump forward, THIS IS ME, I DID NOTHING.. oh I did some of those things but HE was the stalker! At this point he is best not saying anything, it is her choice to judge by what is shown it is her and take action on that representation of what he had shown and not named and even sent out updates trying to dissuade people from identifying the real life people.

    24:35 ugh I’ve been dealing with in therapy recently.. my mother is ALWAYS a victim. If there’s any slight bit of argument or disagreement.. it’s automatically an attack on her. It’s caused dysfunction and no real communication. My god even back when she drove, and her car would break down.. I remember her saying she was “cursed” with that car. Um.. NO.. you didn’t do any maintenance to it. Smh. Anyway.

    I have been watching your videos before and for this specific one you didn't mention anything about Richard's baseline. You said "he looks at this corner so we should take note if he looks at the other corner". This is simply not an indication of possible deceit. By saying stuff like this that would mean in every case if he looks in another direction that he's possibly lying and there's no sign in human body language that can indicate for certain any of this. I don't mean to be rude. I love having analysis on baseline first or summary of it then concentrating on his words or actions

Martha may have tried to forget everything and, because time passed, she doesn’t have her mind straight like Gadd. It also may be that she was just lying, idk.
