KENDALL REVEALS HOW SHE FOUND A TRESPASSER AT HER HOME
A terrified Kendall Jenner has recalled how she fled in tears after a man approached her home in California and begged to talk with her.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was petrified after the unknown man allegedly turned up at the gate of her property while she was alone and then chased her down the street when she drove away.

Kendall, 21, recalls the incident in an upcoming episode of KUWTK, saying: “I came home one night and there was a guy sitting on the side of my street. I thought, that’s so weird. He looked like a homeless man, just sitting in his knees in the street.
“I was like, that’s weird… I drove around and went into my house and I watched the gate close. I turned my car off, getting my stuff together.

"I'm about to open my door and I look in my rearview mirror and he was standing right there.

“I just saw his figure, in the gate right behind my car."

Kendall tells mum Kris Jenner and Scott Disick that she was scared, saying: “I’m freaking out and he goes, I need to talk to you. I was like, no! You need to leave!”

“I called one of my friends immediately. I'm sobbing and crying. He's at my window, banging on my window, screaming at me. So, then I finally start backing out and I get to my gate. The gate opens and I get out. He all of sudden starts running after me.

“At that moment it was when my friends pulled up, and they had him sit on the curb waiting for the police to come. I was crying and freaking out.”

Kendall adds that the experience changed how she felt about being alone. “I used to be the one who was so independent. I was always kind of by myself in a good way, now it’s fully flipped.”

The man in question was cleared by a US court in October of stalking Kendall, but found guilty of trespassing on her home.

A lawyer for the defendant had insisted he didn’t want to harm Kendall, just talk to her, and his behaviour was linked to mental illness.

Younger sister Kylie, meanwhile, was left terrified when burglar alarms sounded at her mansion while she was out, which she recalls in an upcoming episode of KUWTK.

And Kendall herself had another nasty experience this month when $200,000 worth of goods were stolen from her home.
