Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks is set to come face to face with her stalker when his trial comes to court this month.

Brady Green, 38, is alleged to have started a bid to meet America's Next Top Model host Tyra months ago, sending her flowers, packages and notes as well as repeatedly calling her and visiting the New York studios where The Tyra Banks Show is filmed.

Court documents say that Green threatened to harm Tyra's assistant when she refused to give him the supermodel's address when he called her office. He is believes to have told her: "You're f**king lying, I'm going to find you and slit your throat."

Green was arrested in March last year after been caught in a restaurant around the corner from Tyra's studios.

A police report says that Green told the arresting officers, "I know her. She knows me. We're good friends. We had a thing together. I sent her flowers. I sent her cards. Should I plead no contest? I've got satellites watching me and recording us."

Green has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanour counts of stalking, criminal trespass and harassment and turned down offers of a plea deal which would keep him out of prison.

The trial began on Friday and Tyra is expected to appear in the next few weeks the New York Daily News reports.
