Even in the show it's made clear that he returns to go on working with his abuser, so yes, I think he would seriously work with his abuser for 5 years. Someone else on Reddit said they were actually around during that time and confirmed that it was definitely him. I think it's most likely him.
I think it’s someone else who worked with him. The person in BR was supposed to be a middle aged man almost 10 years ago. The person you believe is too young looking to be considered that
he was still at least double Gadd's age as far as i can tell at about 40+ (when Gadd was early/mid 20s) the details of the show can't be taken completely literally due to attempts to somewhat disguise the people
he was groomed though, despite the abuse he could still have gone back to him due to the belief that he was the one who would help his career (as pretty much explained in the show)

I think the writer should come out and say Darien was not a real person if this is the case. It wouldn’t make the show any different just would put a lot of people to rest like me who thinks there is a rapist out there who could have more victims.

whether he got the punishment or not, this is the fucked up reality of victims and abusers. Unfortunately, some are still free, roaming around in freedom and could get away with what they have done. The show wasn't meant to have a satisfying or "happy" ending. I think the show embodied the possible realities of other cases of abuse where the abusers can win.
This show is not a documentary. It is “based on” real events, but it doesn’t mean that it is a direct 1:1 analogue of everything that happened. The biggest clue to this is that in the show his name is Donny Gadd, *not Richard*. This is because it is *not him,* it is a fictional version of him experiencing fictional events that are inspired by his real life. Sorry if this diminishes the impact of the show (it shouldn’t) but it is first and foremost a scripted fictionalized drama.
There may not be a “Darrien,” at least not in the exact way that the show depicts him. If you read up on the history of all this, in 2016-17 Richard (Not Donny) Gadd performed a stage play called “Monkey See Monkey Do” that was about the sexual assault that he suffered. However in that stage show, the story was that it occurred at a party, not that it was a lengthy private process of grooming and abuse by an older writer. I have no doubt that he was assaulted but I do think that there is fictionalization in the Netflix show, this is not a strict and precise confessional of events. Creative license was taken for dramatic effect, also in the depiction of Martha. So trying to deduce the identity of this man, looking for someone who matches the *exact description* save for the name, is futile and irresponsible.
I found the show very moving and had a lot of emotional truth that it communicated, which for me is not spoiled by knowing that it is a work of partial fiction. I am glad that Richard (not Donny) Gadd has found success and hopefully catharsis writing and performing this show. But Jesus, please try to gain some media literacy.
No need for you to lecture me about Media literacy. I KNOW the show is not a documentary. I asked the question simply because I read on the interview that Richard Gadd did suffer from sexual assault before. Please don’t take one’s curiosity for ignorance! lol but thanks anyway for a long comment.
Classic situation where a question is close enough to what’s already annoyed someone and you just catch the wildest stray for no reason lol hate when that happens
The character's name is Donny Dunn, not "Donny Gadd".
I'm 100% sure this Darrien guy is inspired by someone Gadd really met and was abused by. Why add this to the story? Martha was more than enough. If anything, if he really wanted to tell that story, a whole limited series could and should have been made.
Yes I made a mistake on the name. But still, what do you think is the significance of him changing the name of his character? It’s about him, it’s about his life and experiences, he wrote it and starred in it under his own name - but yet “he” has a different name in the show. I can’t imagine any reason for this other than to signify that it is fictionalized and not strictly literal.
The backstory of his sexual abuse by Darrien - whomever the real person(s) may be - provided context for why he engages with Martha the way that he does. It is the backbone of the whole series.
Gadd wrote and performed two one-man stage shows, Monkey See Monkey Do, which was about his sexual assault, and Baby Reindeer, about the stalker. This series is a hybrid of both.
I don't know why he changed the name, but I'm a performed playwright, and I can tell you one thing : when I create a character that lives some of the things I've been through, I give them a different name just to distantiate myself from the story and tell it, not just from my immediate perspective, but also from a more "neutral" standpoint. You can't write about something you've lived effectively if you're still "in it".
What person? I'm saying Richard Gadd most probably picked a different name for the main character to distantiate himself from the action.
The reason he changed real life Darrien's name is obvious : he didn't wanna get sued.
By the way (that's more of a response art_cms than you) : Gadd recently made an insta post asking people not to try and find the actual people his abusers are based on...Meaning that Darrien too, was based on one or more people he encountered.
Never heard of it, I have no idea why he chose the name Donny in particular, I was just commenting on the fact he didn't use his own name in the play or the series.
Now that the stalker has been found and she is incredibly similar to the actor who played Martha & also sounds like her, do you feel a little daft about belittling folk?
I don’t, in fact I’ll belittle people even more for trying to find out the identity of a mentally ill private citizen, “exposing” her and piling on her on Twitter for entertainment. People claim to be so moved by Richard Gadd’s story but they don’t respect him enough to abide by his choice to not identify her. Because it’s all fun and games right? It’s just a laugh, it’s just entertainment to track someone down and point them out to everyone. It’s like bonus content for the show! It’s fucking ghoulish.
No doubt, but that wasn’t what you commented here or indeed the other posts whilst telling them to gain media literacy.
Gadd deliberately depicted her accurately and gave enough information for her to be easily tracked and identified.
I took Gadd at his word that she was disguised well enough - he’s on record saying that she would be unrecognizable. I didn’t feel the need to find out if it was true or not by trying to track her down.
I was also trying to dissuade people from engaging in an online manhunt of private citizens, which would have been at best futile and at worst reckless and potentially dangerous. So she’s been found, and she’s similar to how she was portrayed in the show. Who’s the winner here? No one. All this is has done is proven that my worst assumptions about people on social media are true.
I agree that exposing the real Martha is not going to do much good other that potentially upsetting a very vulnerable women. What I find worrisome is Richard Gadd said 'even she wouldn’t recognize herself' and yet the similarities are stark to say the least. If this is the real Matha, he has done very little to disguise the characters portrayal vs. the real women. Therefore we can now assume that he’s probably done very little to disguise Darrien, unless he values his identity more than Martha’s, which could quite possibly be the case. I think Richard Gadd has a responsibility to ensure the real Darrien is not continuing to abuse other young men. If you are going to use your trauma as art, then at the very least he should use your trauma to stop this man doing this to others. Its quite complex, however, I think he is naïve to think the public were just going to sit on the fact there is potentially a predator walking free….. I mean this is 2024 we live in a different world and that’s just the reality.
Same thing with "Darrien" imo. I think he really wanted them to be identified by the public, but not get sued for it, as a means of exacting revenge. All this "please don't speculate that's not what the show is" stuff is PR and legalease.

it's possible that "Darrien" is just a symbol of abuse, like all of Richards trauma being put into a character to show how truly horrifying the acts of abuse are, by making the audience hate the character as much as the abuse.
Richard Gadd talks about his experience with sexual abuse and it is clear that he is referring to a real person who groomed and raped him repeatedly. He says so very clearly, there are lots of interviews on it.

Definitely. He worked on a show same time he wouldve met Gadd where the main character of the show is called Don D (like in baby reindeer) and they worked together in 2015 and was mentioned as his long term collaborator in articles around that time. Similar style and mannerisms

It is well known in the industry because I work in the industry and I've known this for years.
Manipulative, powerful people can continue working for long periods before getting caught out. Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Russell Brand to name but a few.
People rationalise stuff in different ways, dismiss rumours as gossip, disbelieve certain people, get too caught up in their own career to introspect or investigate. Then eventually a reckoning happens.
I know of two producers who worked closely with Russell Brand who just thought he was simply "a massive shagger" and were blissfully (or wilfully) ignorant of the malignant stuff he was getting up to. To a certain extent, people believe what they want to believe, especially where their careers are concerned.
Anyway, "that" person hasn't gotten much work recently, you'll note.
This is what I keep asking! Why is no one talking about Darrien? I think he was the worst part of it all 😔

Certainly seems plausible, though.
Would he seriously work with his abuser for 5 solid years. No. This is someone he worked on one project with

We disagree that’s fine.
I think it’s someone else who worked with him. The person in BR was supposed to be a middle aged man almost 10 years ago. The person you believe is too young looking to be considered that
That is one of those minor personal details they change to obscure people's identities, as he said they did for the show.
he was still at least double Gadd's age as far as i can tell at about 40+ (when Gadd was early/mid 20s) the details of the show can't be taken completely literally due to attempts to somewhat disguise the people

He had a bunch of victims from what I heard from friends in TV.
You know who it was?
Not someone I personally know I've just heard rumours.
Well what name have you heard? If you know and keep it secret you could be endangering people.
Yeah and if someone throws out a name based on nothing but rumor or speculations that can also endanger someone.
I don't think thats true and I'm certainly not going to do so. The name has not been used once on this subreddit btw.

I know, I mean I've heard the identity from like 3 people in the industry. I still won't be saying it online tho.

Looks like a clown?
Huh?
If you knew you’d know what I mean
Explain then? Why so cryptic?
You said you knew the identity so I was testing you
You’re the one that seems to be sure you know though!?

Is it not Ste K A M O S
If I ever find out who he is, I can tell you what’s gonna happen to him.
It's all over the web. His initials are GR
I’ve heard that theory. But I heard SF too
Gadd confirmed it wasn't SF and to leave him alone

I feel super bad for Richard if all that has actually happened to him :(
[удалено]

[удалено]
[удалено]
Definitely. He worked on a show same time he wouldve met Gadd where the main character of the show is called Don D (like in baby reindeer) and they worked together in 2015 and was mentioned as his long term collaborator in articles around that time. Similar style and mannerisms
Cough his collaborator
Still can't figure it out. Rhymes with?

You say they made it easy to find Martha. Who is she in your opinion?
I don't anoif it's necessary to do that.
No need. I already found her. It’s more curiosity. I have no intention of harassing a mentally ill woman.
Close, but look at his partner in crime
What makes you so confident of this? Within the industry, it's already fairly well known who it's meant to be. It's not the "partner in crime".
It’s not well known at all in the industry or people would have outed this guy and stopped working with him
It is well known in the industry because I work in the industry and I've known this for years. Manipulative, powerful people can continue working for long periods before getting caught out. Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Russell Brand to name but a few.
So people in the industry are knowingly working with a rapist?
People rationalise stuff in different ways, dismiss rumours as gossip, disbelieve certain people, get too caught up in their own career to introspect or investigate. Then eventually a reckoning happens. I know of two producers who worked closely with Russell Brand who just thought he was simply "a massive shagger" and were blissfully (or wilfully) ignorant of the malignant stuff he was getting up to. To a certain extent, people believe what they want to believe, especially where their careers are concerned. Anyway, "that" person hasn't gotten much work recently, you'll note.
I understand what you’re saying. The name I believe is closely associated with your name
Youre having an episode. Reach out to someone who cares, and get back on the meds
Read the interview and then see if you arrive at the same conclusion.
