A MAN
charged with stalking Tyra Banks has been
ordered to stay away from the talk-show host or face
going to jail.
Brady
Green, according to a criminal complaint, has followed
Banks from coast to coast since January, sent her
letters and flowers, and tried to telephone her. Last
week he was issued a court order requiring him to leave
her alone.
Green,
of Dublin, Georgia, was arrested when he showed up
several times on March 18 at the Manhattan building
where The Tyra Banks Show is taped and asked to
speak to her, a misdemeanor complaint filed in Criminal
Court says.
Banks
also hosts the CW reality show
America’s Next Top Model.
The
complaint says building custodian Edward Troiano told
the police Green also had appeared at Banks’s
Los Angeles
studio “on multiple occasions” and asked to speak to
her. He said Green had sent her letters and flowers
there and had tried to reach her there by telephone at
least five times, the complaint says.
Banks,
34, told the police that Green’s actions had caused her
to fear that she was in danger.
The
police charged Green, 37, with stalking, criminal
trespass and harassment. After his arraignment on
Wednesday on the charges, Criminal Court Judge Anthony
Ferrara released him without bail and ordered him to
return to court on May 13.
A
telephone call to Green’s attorney wasn’t immediately
returned Monday.
The New
York Post said the
Chelsea
studio staffers were worried about Green returning. The
paper said they were handing out photos of Green on
Friday with a warning to stay away from him.
Prosecutors said they did not have an address for Green,
who likely could face up to a year in jail if convicted.
