Kendall Jenner Claps Back at TMZ for Adding to Her Stalker Problem

After a man was arrested for trespassing on her property, Kendall Jenner fired back at TMZ for releasing her “exact address” and “putting her life in danger.” 

John Ford, 37, was arrested on Tuesday and held at $30,000 bail, according to Los Angeles Police. Ford was previously arrested at the same property and convicted of trespassing back in July. He was order by a judge to stay away from the property and Jenner, USA Today reports.

Jenner tweeted at TMZ in response to a video narrated by Harvey Levin, who is the sites founder, that showed her home from the street. The video continued to go into detail on how Ford used a certain path to enter Jenner’s property. 

“And how do you guys think these terrifying people know where my house is? Cuz you release not only photos but my location. It is so beyond unsafe. Is this not our one ounce of privacy we can get???” she tweeted. 

She continued in a second tweet: “I understand what i’ve signed up for but when you release the exact location to where i live THAT is when you’re putting my life in danger.” 

“Your home is your safe haven, but for me, cuz of outlets like you, my home is anything BUT. you should be ashamed of yourself,” Jenner tweeted.

A TMZ spokesperson responded with, “we reported on a public criminal case that has been filed against this individual, we never reported on her location,” according to BuzzFeed News. 

While the video doesn’t mention Jenner’s exact address, it does describe her neighborhood as “a beautiful gated community with multimillion-dollar homes.”  

This is unfortunately not the first time Jenner has had to deal with a trespasser or stalker. In 2016, she testified in a case against a man who stood in her driveway and followed her into the house. He was charged with trespassing, and the case went to trial. According to ENews, the jury acquitted the man, but Jenner was later granted a permanent restraining order against him.
