Kendall Jenner Stalker Restraint Nothing New for Family and Other Celebrities
When a man went swimming naked in Kendall Jenner's pool in California, the celebrity's security team restrained him and called the police.
The Kardashian family celebrity heard him screaming at her windows at about 2 AM and informed her security to assist her. But after the nude swimmer Shaquan King, 27, was charged with a misdemeanor count of trespassing, he was released from jail quickly due to the Pandemic.
King spent only about six hours in jail, then waited two days, and gained access to Kendall Jenner's sister Kylie Jenner's property, located inside a gated community. Once again, he was arrested, this time for felony stalking on Kylie Jenner's property.
A judge granted Kendall a temporary restoring order against King, charged with a felony stalking arrest. The Kardashian family rmodel told the judge she feared for her safety and that of her sister Kylie plus her mother, Kris Jenner. The judge ordered King to keep 100 yards away from them.
Stalkers have wreaked dangerous and sometimes fatal havoc among celebrities for years.
Some of the most notorious cases of stalked celebrities that resulted in murder span many decades. They include:
· John Lennon shot and killed by a deranged fan outside his home in NYC
· Columbian soccer player Andrés Escobar, murdered by a group of five fans who killed him after he lost a game by accidentally scoring for the other team
· The Voice star Christina Grimmie, who was shot three times by a fan while signing autographs
· Actress Rebecca Schaeffer, a rising 21-year old TV star, was stalked for three months and murdered by a fan.
Domestic abuse stalkings are also commonplace among non-celebrities and often lead to murder in what is called "femicide."
The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) reports, "76% of women murdered by an intimate partner were stalked first; 85% of women who survived murder attempts were stalked. 89% of femicide victims who had been physically assaulted before their murder were also stalked in the last year prior to their murder and 54% of femicide victims reported stalking to the police before they were killed by their stalkers."
Kendall Jenner is not new to stalkers or restraining orders. She experienced two prior serious stalking incidents over the past few years.
Recently, Kendall Jenner moved from her former home after police warned her that another stalker, Malik Bowker, 24, was planning to buy a gun to shoot her and then kill himself.
In a 2018 prior stalking incident, she was awarded a five-year restraining order against John Ford, found sitting right outside her home twice in one week. Ford had a temporary restraining order to stay 100 yards from her at the time of the incident but still returned.
Kendall Jenner reportedly moved out of her home once again due to yet another frightening stalker incident. Her whereabouts, for now, are unknown.
