Richard Gadd’s Controversial Romance with Actress Auditioning for ‘Baby Reindeer’
All about his former dating life.
Baby Reindeer was a great hit for Richard Gadd, the creator and star of the Netflix series.
The British black comedy drama-thriller was adapted from Gadd’s autobiographical one-man show and hit the streaming service on April 11, 2024. The 7-episode drama, produced by Clerkenwell Films, was an instant hit and grabbed the attention of millions worldwide.
As Baby Reindeer was based on Gadd’s real-life events, viewers were instantly accustomed to digging deeper into the happenings of the series, mainly relationships. As if that wasn’t enough, his professional conduct was also questioned.
Days after Baby Reindeer hit Netflix, on April 16, 2024, a transgender actress named Reece Lyons came forward on X, claiming she and Gadd dated for a brief period and that she also auditioned for the role of Gadd’s ex-girlfriend, Teresa “Teri,” in the Netflix series.
Lyons never specifically mentioned Gadd or Baby Reindeer in her X thread but an investigation by Deadline confirmed that she was indeed talking about the Netflix show and its creator.
In her X thread, Lyons mentioned that she didn’t believe she was a victim of abuse but acknowledged that Gadd hurt her even if there was no conscious intent to do so. Additionally, she was hurt by Gadd “conflating a work opportunity with a dating dynamic.”
As per Deadline, Gadd and Lyons first met each other in October 2021. Both of them were in the bar of London’s Bush Theatre after Lyons had performed the one-woman show Overflow.
“I had met him in the bar after one of my shows. He was with a friend; they both approached me after my performance to congratulate me, and that’s when he offered to buy me a drink,” Lyons recalled her first encounter with Gadd on her X thread.
She then stated that she initially thought of declining the offer as she didn’t know Gadd but before she could decline the offer, she recognized him. She claimed that Gadd had followed her on Instagram a month earlier.
It was at that moment she realized that this wasn’t a normal chance encounter. She decided to accept his offer for a drink, after which they began their conversation. “We split off from his friend, and he began to tell me about his upcoming Netflix show that he had written,” she wrote.
Lyons continued her X thread by writing that Gadd had offered her the role of his ex-girlfriend, a trans woman. As per Lyons, Gadd mentioned that he allegedly didn’t treat his now-former girlfriend the best.
When Gadd offered the role, Lyons claimed she was interested in auditioning for the role and told him to contact her agent. Right after that, Gadd allegedly expressed his romantic feelings for Lyons.
Weeks after their first meet, Gadd contacted Lyons and asked her out on a date. She agreed even though she was mindful of the overlap between the romantic invitation and the upcoming audition. During their date, their conversations didn’t turn out well.

After a week, Lyons texted him and ended things prematurely. She told him that she didn’t think the conflation of the upcoming audition for Baby Reindeer and dating each other at the same time was very wise, and Gadd replied that he understood what she meant.
However, things didn’t end then and there between the two, as Lyons claimed that Gadd spontaneously called her two weeks later and expressed his desire to try dating again. When he said that, she felt conflicted as she had previously set clear boundaries and he appeared to understand them.
“‘What if I say, no?’ I asked myself. ‘Does that mean he would feel slighted, and I wouldn’t get the chance to audition?’ I decided to say yes and quickly found myself pulled back into his emotional chaos again,” Lyons wrote on her X thread.
As per Deadline, Gadd and Lyons had gone on four dates between October and November 2021, before the former decided to end things permanently in December of the same year. As per sources close to Gadd, some conversations about a Baby Reindeer audition might have taken place while the two were dating.
In March 2022, three months after Gadd and Lyons broke up, the latter auditioned for the role of Teresa “Teri” and submitted her self-tape to Nina Gold Casting. However, she wasn’t offered the role and it ultimately went to Mexican actress Nava Mau.
Deadline reported in May 2024 that Gadd had no control over the casting process on Baby Reindeer but provided some feedback on audition tapes to Clerkenwell Films. Likewise, Gadd and Lyons seemingly had a final conversation after the actress for the role of Teresa “Teri” was finalized.
As per Lyons’ X thread, Gadd reportedly consoled her over the phone and mentioned that her audition was exceptional. “But it’s out of my hands. Netflix is looking for somebody who’s already a star,” Gadd reportedly told Lyons.
Sources close to Gadd stated that Lyons was the one who asked him for feedback on her audition on the day of rejection. She then asked him, “But what about us?” to which he replied, “It’s not going to work. You’re too confrontational for me.” “And that was it,” she concluded.
After Lyons went public with her relationship with Gadd, Baby Reindeer’s producer Clerkenwell Films launched an investigation into Lyons’ comments. This investigation revealed that Gadd had not disclosed his romantic liaison with Lyons to Clerkenwell Films.
During the investigation process, Lyons was neither interviewed on the phone nor in person, as Clerkenwell Films believed that her X thread, along with other evidence, was enough. Clerkenwell Films ultimately concluded that Gadd behaved professionally and casting decisions were not compromised.

Logan Lerman opened up about his proposal to Analusia Corrigan
Lerman recently opened up about the charming way he proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Corrigan.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 32-year-old actor shared the delightful details of how he popped the question in an unconventional yet romantic setting – a rowboat in New York City’s iconic Central Park.
He revealed that while in New York, he initially had no concrete plan for the proposal but soon realized he needed a private and intimate setting.
Corrigan, 29, pointed out the rowboats; he thought it would be a perfect idea but discovered that he lacked the necessary rowing skills.
He described how his fiancée ended up doing all the hard work, rowing the boat. At the same time, he sat back and enjoyed the scenery.
As they drew the attention of onlookers amused by the sight of Corrigan manning the oars, he bided his time until they reached a secluded part of the lake.
In that tranquil moment, surrounded by the beauty of Central Park, Lerman seized the opportunity and popped the question to his beloved.
Despite the initial challenges, the proposal went smoothly. Lerman’s heartwarming tale beautifully captures the essence of love, spontaneity, and the willingness to embrace unexpected moments that make memories truly special.

On March 21, the couple graced the premiere of Hulu’s We Were the Lucky Ones in Los Angeles, radiating joy and complementing each other perfectly with their coordinated looks.
Lerman, known for his role in Bullet Train, cut a dashing figure in a sleek black overcoat and dress pants, adding a touch of sophistication with a silver silk shirt. Meanwhile, Corrigan, stunned in a chic black bandeau dress, exuding elegance and confidence.

Who is Analusia Corrigan?
Lerman’s fiancée, Corrigan, is a talented artist whose journey has been shaped by her diverse cultural experiences and the unwavering support of her family.
Growing up in San Diego, her frequent road trips to Mexico with her mother instilled in her a deep appreciation for culture, which she later incorporated into her art.
It was her father’s work with the renowned Alvin Ailey dance company in New York City that ignited a new creative spark within her. She viewed the crew as a “window to real people in real life,” an experience she didn’t have on the West Coast.
Her parents played a pivotal role in nurturing her artistic aspirations, always ensuring that she understood the value of the arts and that being an artist was a viable career path.

Her artistic pursuits led her to enroll at the Parsons School of Design, where she initially studied oil painting but later pivoted to graphic design, realizing the challenges of succeeding in the former field.
However, after graduation, Corrigan discovered that her true passion lay not in technology but in creating tangible works with her hands.
It was during the COVID-19 pandemic that Corrigan found her calling in ceramic art, initially selling ashtrays and mugs with unique designs. Her work explores “figurative shapes and their innate matter, language and sensation,” as described on her website.
From lamps and mirrors to wall hangings, Corrigan’s creations are a testament to her talent and dedication.
Now displaying her art at shows and during New York City’s design week, Corrigan has garnered a steady stream of clients. She remains grateful for the opportunity to have her creations grace the intimate spaces of people’s homes.

The couple first sparked romance rumors in January 2020 when they were linked together. However, they kept their relationship relatively private in its early stages.
It wasn’t until August 2022 that Lerman and Corrigan made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of Bullet Train, marking a significant milestone in their journey together.
Despite the initial distance, with Corrigan residing in New York City and Lerman in Los Angeles, they found a way to make their relationship thrive.
She has provided glimpses into their life together through her Instagram account, which is primarily dedicated to showcasing her exceptional work as a ceramic artist.
However, she occasionally shares endearing snaps of Lerman, who sometimes lends a helping hand in her studio, highlighting the supportive and collaborative nature of their partnership.
