Kendall Jenner Just Testified Against Her Alleged Stalker in Court
"I've never been so scared in my life."
Less than two weeks after her older sister Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint, Kendall Jenner visited court to testify against her alleged stalker Shavaughn McKenzie. The supermodel sat in testimony for two hours on October 13, and—according to the Associated Press—told the jury, "I've never been so scared in my life...I was terrified. I was literally traumatized."
Kendall described McKenzie following her into her driveway and banging on her car window, and The AP reports that she "used her hands to illustrate how she made frantic phone calls to friends after locking the doors." The reality star refused to leave her car, even after McKenzie was arrested by the police, and spent the night at a neighbor's house.
McKenzie was arrested outside Jenner's Hollywood Hills home in August, after which he was charged with misdemeanor stalking and trespassing. He could face up to six months in jail. The alleged stalker's attorney claims he has a mental disorder and was "simply trying to talk to the model."
"It's definitely put me even more on edge," Jenner said. "I definitely don't feel safe in my own house anymore."
