BABY Reindeer’s alleged "real-life" stalker Fiona Harvey has broken her silence after bombshell emails to Keir Starmer were revealed.

Yesterday, The Sun exclusively revealed more emails which show how the 58-year-old bombarded the Labour leader over an eight-month spree.

Harvey sent Sir Keir a staggering 276 messages between January and August 2020, including vicious attacks on him and his family.

In one, she brands his wife “ugly” and makes a derogatory slur against his late mum.

Ms Harvey also told the Labour leader he was in a “non job”, was a “stupid little boy” and a “useless barrister”.

Now, the woman who is said to have inspired Martha in the hit Netflix show Baby Reindeer has broken her silence.

In a Facebook post, Ms Harvey wrote: "Once I have a legal team in place, I expect that they will make a further statement setting out the next steps that I will be taking to deal with everything that has happened as a direct result of the dishonest and false picture of me painted in baby reindeer."

Ms Harvey was officially reported to police over her harassment of Sir Keir.

She had warned Sir Keir she would target him with complaints to standards watchdogs, telling him: “Your life won’t be worth living.”

Her mails were sent to Sir Keir over a span of just eight months.

Like those seen in the show, all are in a trademark style, littered with punctuations and spelling mistakes, with few full stops and a line space between each sentence.

All were signed off “Sent from my iPhone” — echoing Martha, who it turns out in the show doesn’t have an iPhone.

The Sun is unable to publish large swathes of the dossier of 276 emails due to their explicit nature.

But many include vicious attacks on Labour and gripes about Harvey’s battles with Camden council over her flat block and local area.

Sir Keir is MP for Holborn and St Pancras, next door to Kilburn where Harvey lived in 2020.

In one message seen by The Sun, Ms Harvey 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”.

The Netflix hit about comedian Richard Gadd’s character Donny being stalked by “Martha Scott” led to web sleuths identifying Harvey as the inspiration for her.

But Harvey has denied stalking and said she will sue after episodes began with a message saying “this is a true story”.

Fiona widely disputed the events depicted in the Netflix mini-series during a bombshell chat with Piers Morgan.

In an interview with Piers this month, Harvey admitted having four phones and six email addresses, but denied ever hounding Mr Gadd, the show's creator.

During the interview, the "real-life Martha" told Piers she is taking legal action against Richard Gadd and Netflix.

She now claims to be suing Netflix for £11million.

The 58-year-old hails from Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, but has lived in London for years.

Netflix has emphasised all messages were identical to texts and emails received by creator Mr Gadd as part of its true-to-life promise.

CHILLING TALE

Baby Reindeer has taken the world by storm since its release, with millions tuning in to follow the story of a comedian and his stalker.

Written by and starring comedian Gadd - who plays Donnie Dunn, a fictionalised version of himself - the programme details the alleged ordeal, with Martha played by Jessica Gunning.

In the show, the then-struggling comic, while working in a London bar, hands Martha a free cup of tea before things turn sinister.

The series claims she subsequently bombarded the barman with more than 41,000 emails.

She also sent him hundreds of tweets and hours of voicemails and even camped outside his house for days.

Martha then harasses his parents and ex, and assaults his girlfriend over an alleged four-year campaign of terror.
