Kendall Jenner took the stand to testify against her alleged stalker in court on Thursday, recounting the terrifying story of how defendant Shavaughn McKenzie followed her up the driveway of her Hollywood Hills home last August.

"I've never been so scared in my life," she said, according to The Associated Press.

In her testimony, the reality star and model claimed that she first discovered McKenzie sitting in front of the driveway of her home with his head in his hands, but despite thinking it was a little odd, she drove around him. After closing the gate, Kendall assumed she was safe — until she saw McKenzie in her review mirror. She then began yelling at him to leave, at which point McKenzie began banging on her car windows.

"I was crying, I was screaming, I was freaking out," Kendall said, according to E! News."I didn't know what his intentions were. I was freaking out. I was frightened for sure."

"I never got out of my car," she continued. "I was terrified. I was literally traumatized. I started honking at him and I just wanted to make sure I saw wherever he went. He got out of the gate and I drove down the hill."

After driving down the block, Kendall called a friend for help, and police arrived on the scene. McKenzie was then arrested for misdemeanor stalking and trespassing.

According to Kendall, it wasn't the first time she'd been confronted by McKenzie, and she claimed in her testimony that she'd seen him lurking around her previous home in Westwood. Since her terrifying run-in with him at her new home, she said that she'd added lights, cameras, and a security detail just to help her feel safer.

"This is not how I want to be living. I really don't feel safe in my own house," she said. "I'm already the kind of person who's on edge."

McKenzie's attorney argued that his client has a "severe mental disorder," and that he meant no harm to Kendall. Nonetheless, the model testified that the whole experience had left her shaken and paranoid, and the judge sided with her on the case.

McKenzie will now go to trial next week for his stalking charge. If convicted, he faces up to six months in prison.
