예식일 : Woman reveals what it's like to be 'Baby Reindeer'ed'
문의내용: Curled up for a night of binge-watching Netflix, Nicole Madigan did what so many Australians have done this week: she turned on Baby Reindeer.

But unlike most of the 22 million viewers who have tuned in to Richard Gadd's haunting retelling of his stalking ordeal, this is a reality Nicole knows all too well.

'This was the first time I've watched something about stalking that has made me actually respond in any kind of emotional way,' the journalist and domestic violence awareness advocate tells Daily Mail Australia.

Nicole was subjected to a three-year campaign of terror by her new partner's ex-fling, starting in 2018. 

The ordeal only ended through court intervention in early 2021, when her stalker, Karissa*, was handed a two-year community corrections order. 

By this point, Nicole had been impersonated, humiliated and harassed beyond measure. Her family had received a barrage of messages from this woman, ⭐⭐⭐All-in-one web analytics⭐⭐⭐ and personal details about her life shared on the internet for all to see.

'Most stalker films or television shows depict this really extreme type of stalking situation,' she says.

'This type of stalking can happen, but it's less common. This was one of the most realistic depictions of stalking I've ever seen.'

Curled up for a night of binge-watching Netflix , Nicole Madigan did what so many Australians have done this week: she turned on Baby Reindeer (pictured, a scene from the Netflix show) 

Much of what Nicole recalls about her experiences mirrors what Gadd illustrates in his wildly popular show.

'They get to know their target. It doesn't always seem scary when it's written down or told to someone,' she says. 

'If you report a specific incident to the police, it's probably not going to sound that bad. 

'But stalking is a pattern of behaviour, and often a series of legal behaviours. That's what makes it so difficult to prove.'

Gadd's own attempts to report his ordeal, as per the show, were thwarted by a similar realisation.

His experience was hard to wrap up neatly into a concise complaint that police could work with. 

This opening scene, of Gadd's character Donny fumbling over his words as he attempted to report a crime, stopped Nicole in her tracks.

She was drawn to the show after watching the trailer and recognising the similarities with her own experience. But it wasn't until that unnervingly accurate opening scene that she Googled the show and realised it was based on a true story.

As the story continued, Donny was undermined further when he attempted to take matters into his own hands. 

In the show, police revealed they had received information which suggested that Donny was in fact as much of a perpetrator as the woman stalking him.

Nicole understands exactly how this would have played out.

'One of the experts I spoke with described it this way: you almost develop a relationship with the person, for want of a better term, who's stalking you,' she reveals.

'Because they have become so obsessed with you, the by-product of that is you start to develop that same preoccupation because you're so anxious at the time for the next message or attack.' 




Over four and a half years, Gadd says he received 41,071 emails, 744 tweets, letters totalling 106 pages and 350 hours of voicemail messages from the older woman, whom he calls Martha in the show 


A fleeting moment 
Her own ordeal began at her child's school cricket match in Queensland. At the time, she was quietly going through a separation with her husband. 

She snapped a quick picture of her son as he took his turn at batting. A woman she didn't know swept past her, asking: 'Are you taking pictures of Adam?'
