Tyra Banks Faces Her Stalker in Court
Poor Tyra Banks had to endure the stress of facing her stalker in a Manhattan courtroom today. Don’t you feel sorry for celebrities like Tyra who go that extra mile to entertain their fans only to be harassed by crazed mentally impaired fans who can’t see the consequences of their harmful behavior?
It has to be a horrible experience to face their stalkers in court, which gives the stalker exactly what they wanted.

Supermodel-turned-television host Tyra Banks faced off Wednesday with the lovesick drifter accused of stalking her.
Wearing a sleeveless, form-fitting tan dress, Banks calmly testified in Manhattan Criminal Court she was terrified when Brady Green tried to slip past security into her Chelsea studio.
The former Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue covergirl described how frightened staffers of the “Tyra Banks Show” barricaded her in a dressing room when Green showed up last year. “I was about to leave, and a bunch of people from my staff were like, ‘Stop, no, you can’t leave!” Banks said.
Green, 39, is charged with stalking and harassing Banks with a series of phone calls, unwanted flowers and an unwelcome visit in March 2008 to her W. 26th St. studio.
“I know I have fans, but I’ve never in my entire career had my staff react in this way,” she said.
Green’s lawyer, Jeffrey Berman, tried to cast his client as a harmless fan who loved watching Oprah Winfrey’s and Montel Williams’ talk shows. He pointed out that the show’s Web site encouraged fans to write to Banks, and that the Georgia man never contacted her by phone or e-mail.
Green is set to take the stand Wednesday afternoon.

Cute dress. So sick of that lace front and the color
I loved Tyra’s hair when it was fire red/orange
Tyra show got moved to CW because she couldnt compete with the Boss lady Wendy WIlliams her show only aired for a couple of weeks and received higher ratings than tyra show being on for a whole season, Fox gave Tyra six wks to get her ratings up before they gave her the ax… Its time for some REAL tv!!!
F-That every man for himself. I don’t play with stalkers. I had one and they are crazy f*ckers!
Oh so why are the in court - a restraint order?
Sick and scary. Derek’s obsessed stalker is an “obvious jump off” and Tyra’s is a “crazed, mentally impaired fan”?
Why would someone stalk Tyra? You can buy a bobble head doll at any discount store. *shrugs*
@ Mizz in Dallas while Wendy is on “vaca” have they been doing a best of? Bc girl in NY they have Jeff Foxx on air who was fired from Kiss FM a few weeks ago. I’m nervous she may get the boot!
Po’ thang….SMH.

YEP. THATS WHY I FEEL SORRY FOR BEYONCE & OBAMA…..
Obama is not a celebrity. He is a politician with PRESIDENTIAL status. His job is not to entertain, but to govern. I really hate that people are trying to put him in a position of a shucking and bucking celebrity.
lol @ blackbarbie!
