TYRA BANKS is pictured leaving a Manhattan Criminal Court house on Wednesday morning. The former model testified against a man charged with stalking her, admitting she does not “fear for her life” - just the “safety” of those around her.
Brady Green (pictured to your right arriving to court) is currently on trial facing charges he stalked and harassed Banks during a months-long bid to meet and seduce the TV talk show host back in 2008.
Green, 38, is accused of sending Tyra flowers, packages and notes, and threatening Banks’ assistant when she refused to reveal the star’s address.
Banks took the stand as the first witness for the prosecution, telling the court how she had to bolster her security team as a result of Green’s actions.
According to reports,
she described him as “more aggressive” than a regular fan, adding, “I don’t fear for my life, I fear for my safety, I fear for my staff and people in my vicinity.”
The trial continues. If convicted, Green faces up to 90 days behind bars
