Celeb-scamming fraudster Kenneth Starr has been exchanging jailhouse emails with a mystery woman who the feds say is trying to “undermine” his relationship with his ex-stripper wife, court papers reveal.
The unidentified woman last month told Starr that buxom brunette Diane Passage was “flirting” with another man and posting Twitter updates about her planned birthday party.
“tweeter is all about the festivities:” the woman wrote.
“planning her bday cupcake extravaganza in pin up lingeree (sic) — lol and flirting with that Tanico guy — again….
“No mention of her loving husband :(
“Does she even talk to you?”
Her Nov. 12 email concluded: “I’m sorry — you’re still wasting your time caring — she’s all about HERSELF.”
The missive followed an earlier exchange in which the woman — identified only as “allegedly a partner in an online retail business” — “joked about finding (Starr) a replacement for Ms. Passage,” prosecutors wrote.
“ok, will start a search for a pretty, dumb and mute one — lol,” the woman wrote on Nov. 10.
Little more than an hour later, Starr sent a response demanding “dumb pretty and sexually active– mute is optional.”
“and afterwards i can call you and vic for intellectual stimulation,” Starr wrote, adding: “have to stimulate the entire being (lol)”
He concluded that email with the words “I love you.”
But in a pair of emails to Passage six days later, the confessed Ponzi schemer declared his undying affection for the former Scores dancer, who he referred to as “Angel.”
“I have this enormous love for you that grows– I miss you beyond what any human should feel– and I don’t know what to do,” he wrote Nov. 16 from the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
Prosecutors filed the emails in Manhattan federal court in a bid to revoke Starr’s still-unmet $5 million bail ahead of his scheduled Feb. 2 sentencing for swindling $50 million from clients including actress Uma Thurman and heiress Rachel “Bunny” Mellon.
Prosecutors said the correspondence shows that the unidentified woman — who has been proposed as a co-signer on Starr’s bond — “is entirely unsuitable as a suretor.”
Court papers also noted that in other emails Starr “expressed extraordinary contempt” for his brothers, Warren Starr and Stuart Starr, who were slated to post property to secure his release.
“they will need me one day and i will not lift a finger –they are mean spirited awful human beings,” he wrote.
“Given the nature of the defendant’s comments about his brothers, the government submits that neither property posed by the defendant’s brothers nor the brother’s signatures on the defendant’s bond would meaningfully deter the defendant from fleeing,” prosecutors William Harrington and Michael Bosworth wrote.
Defense lawyer Flora Edwards didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
Meanwhile, an alleged accomplice in starr’s scheme — former lawyer Jonathan Bristol — was given extra time this morning to line up three people to co-sign the $1 million bond after he was arrested last week.
Bristol is charged with using his escrow account to help Starr launder money.
