MORE explosive emails sent by Baby Reindeer’s ‘real-life’ stalker Fiona Harvey to Sir Keir Starmer can be revealed – as she vows to sue Netflix for £11million.

It comes as we can also reveal Ms Harvey was officially reported to police over her harassment of Sir Keir.
Speaking on our exclusive show, The Sun’s TV expert Jess Lester said: “These emails are obviously damning.”
Ms Harvey bombarded Sir Keir with the onslaught of chilling emails between January and August 2020 – after she supposedly stalked comedian Richard Gadd.
In one, she brands his wife “ugly” and makes a derogatory slur against his late mum.
In another, she calls Sir Keir a “nefarious little creep”.
The Sun is unable to publish large swathes of the dossier of 276 emails due to their explicit nature.
They are all written in ‘Martha’s’ trademark style – littered with punctuation and spelling mistakes, with few full stops and a line space between each sentence.
The emails are signed off: “Sent from my iPhone”.
Crime Editor Mike Sullivan said: “These messages are menacing and contain rude references to his wife and about his family.”
In one message seen by The Sun, Ms Harvey, the inspiration for the character Martha in Netflix hit Baby Reindeer, said: “Keir cut the crap with me you stupid little boy.

“You get elected leader of. Non party and within two minutes I get an email calling me a racist from the housing ombudsman I’ve already complained about you to the standards commissioner who guess what also does nothing.”
She even gloated over the deaths of two of his relatives and used a disabled slur to abuse his wife Victoria.
The sickening messages were reported to cops in November 2021.
The case was referred to the Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (FTAC) — a joint unit run by London’s Met Police and the NHS which deals with obsessives who have a fixation with politicians and the royals.
A source said: “There was no suggestion of any physical danger, but it was felt the police should be made aware of the large volume of emails so the individual could receive help.”
It is unclear if action was taken over Ms Harvey’s referral, but psychiatric checks were carried out.
The Met said the harassment case remains “under review” by specialist officers.
Stalking expert and ex-Met cop Hamish Brown said the specialist unit “ensures a person is not a risk to themselves or others”.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS
THE whole internet is lapping up Baby Reindeer, but when did the alleged incidents actually take place.
2013: It is understood Richard Gadd‘s ordeal took place “six years” before his one-man play of the same name.
2019: Baby Reindeer starts out as a play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
January-August 2020: Fiona Harvey sent Sir Keir Starmer a staggering 276 emails.
November 2021: Ms Harvey reported to the Metropolitan Police over dossier of emails sent to Sir Keir.
2024: The Netflix show about comedian Gadd’s character Donny being stalked by “Martha Scott” hits our screens.
Ms Harvey, of Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, now claims to be suing Netflix for £11million.
The Sun’s Jess Lester said: “We’ve seen the kind of emails and voice messages Richard Gadd was getting from Fiona, and the tone, and how chilling and cold and aggressive they can be.
“Seeing the emails to Keir, it makes perfect sense that this was the kind of messages he would be receiving.
“The real life Martha, Fiona came out last week and said it [Baby Reindeer] wasn’t true.
“What we’re seeing here is more evidence against her building.
“She’s saying she wants to sue Netflix, unfortunately perhaps this is backfiring. There’s more evidence to suggest that she did do what Richard Gadd and Netflix have portrayed her of having done.”
Miss Lester also accused Ms Harvey of “cashing in” by threatening to sue Netflix.
“She’s jumping on the bandwagon now she knows she has people on her side,” she said.
In an interview with Piers Morgan this month, Harvey admitted having four phones and six email addresses, but denied ever hounding Mr Gadd, the show’s creator.
Keir cut the crap with me you stupid little boy.

Netflix has emphasised all messages were identical to texts and emails received by creator Mr Gadd as part of its true-to-life promise.
Responding tonight about claims she was reported to cops, Ms Harvey said: “It’s a lot of rubbish and I’m not going to be making a comment.”

EMAILS LAID BARE
HUNDREDS of emails were to sent to Sir Keir Starmer over an eight-month spree in 2020.
Many emails had Sir Keir’s name first in the ‘To’ field, often followed by Camden council officials or councillors.
Many made reference to Sir Keir directly.
Some copied in her MP, Labour’s Tulip Siddiq, who was also abused.
In some, Harvey, who studied law, makes disparaging references to Sir Keir’s former Doughty Street Chambers, which he co-founded in 1990.
She also ranted repeatedly about the state of the Labour Party.
On April 8, 2020, in a 1,420-word email to Starmer — copied to a list of others — Harvey said Labour’s shadow cabinet was “full if imbeciles yes men”.
She suggested a deal had been done where unions backed Starmer for leader “and in return you get that imbecile Angela rayner as depute”.
The email added: “If you asked good scottish shrinks to examine starmer and his henchmen they would find none of them sane.”
The emails came in the first lockdown, and a period where he had stood for the Labour leadership.
‘Non job’
An email of March 27, 2020 — sent to Sir Keir and with SNP MP Pete Wishart copied in — made homophobic references about Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
On April 4, 2020 — the day Sir Keir became Labour leader — she congratulated him on his “fourth of fifth non job”.
The email added: “You have ignored me” and called him a “free loader on the public purse”.
It ended: “Ignore typos I’m A professional Senior scottish professionals do not type We just run the country behind the scenes”
On April 6, 2020 — the day after then-PM Boris Johnson went to hospital with Covid — Harvey emailed Sir Keir claiming she knew Stanley Johnson, Boris’s dad.
She wrote: “Keir your grotty wee c***s if animal supporters need to wind their Fg necks in slagging off boris on twitter.”
Harvey also tore into Boris on May 10, 2020, when his 7pm TV speech announced plans to re-open society.
She wrote: “Boris will make a tit of himself in telly at seven My chicken dinner ready bang on seven He’s not cut out for public office at all He’s an eton t**t”

SHE SENT WEIRD VID
FIONA Harvey sent Sir Keir Starmer a bizarre video in which she moaned about neighbours during lockdown.
She filmed herself walking round her flat with Sky News on as she claimed that she was the only one applauding for NHS workers.
In a typically badly spelt message she wrote: “Hundreds of people live round here. The Bengali mafia the air B and B mafia etc etc Noone clappedc”
She added: “I wanted to take this video to show you how no one does anything round here bar me.”
She also sent Sir Keir and others an email with a video of a man appearing to stack items on the pavement near her block of flats.
She is heard saying: “This is for the newspapers.”
- CALLS to the National Stalking Helpline were 26 per cent up in April compared to March, the month of Baby Reindeer’s release.
