There have been several speculations by fans of the popular Netflix series Baby Reindeer concerning the identity of the sexual abuser depicted in the series.
Amidst the controversy surrounding the series, fans have continued to ask the question “who is Baby Reindeer abuser in real life”?
However, TV personality and author, Richard Osman revealed that the identity of the abuser is well known.
He claimed that “everyone” in the television industry knows the identity of the sexual abuser portrayed in Richard Gadd’s Netflix series.
He said this while hosting The Rest Is Entertainment podcast with journalist Marina Hyde.
The duo discussed “The Baby Reindeer Controversy” on a recent episode.
Baby Reindeer is a British black comedy series based on Gadd’s real-life experience of being stalked and sexually assaulted in his twenties.
The controversy that surround the series led to fans attempting to identify the real identities of the two main characters despite Gadd’s pleas.
Speaking On The Rest Is Entertainment, podcast, Osman told Hyde that “everyone knows who he is talking about”.
“As you say, there’s a very, very serious thing that happens with a male comedy producer and Richard Gadd, who, as you say, did the show in Edinburgh and has been very open to people in the industry about who that person was, so people in the industry know who that person was,” he said.
“Now it comes out now and a completely different person is identified, someone who has produced Richard Gadd before, but is definitively not the person in any way.
“But the person they’ve cast in that role looks like this other guy, looks like the guy who’s been falsely accused. And it’s such a weird, bizarre thing to do because this poor guy has had death threats and he’s had to issue a statement to say it’s not me.”
