Jenner still looking for security.
Last year Kendall Jenner unloaded a mansion in West Hollywood, near the Sunset Strip, to move to another mansion in a gated Beverly Hills community that presumably would offer better security.
Her new $8.5 million, Spanish-style mansion in the Mulholland Estates neighborhood had belonged to Charlie Sheen, reports say. The 22-yearold supermodel no doubt hoped its more remote locationwould keep the bad guys away.
She’d had bad experiences in West Hollywood, where she dealt with a string of scary incidents, including a burglary and an obsessed fan following her up her driveway, TMZ reported. But now Jenner must be wondering if there is a safe place for her to live, after a Canadianman broke into Mulholland Estates three times in the past month and gained access to her property twice in the past week, according to TMZ.
John Ford, 37, was arrested Tuesday after being caught sitting on Jenner’s front porch, TMZ said. He is currently being held on a psychiatric hold. Jenner’s legal team is pushing for the district attorney’s office to file a felony stalking charge against Ford. It is the third time Ford has broken into Mulholland Estates, whose residents also have included Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera, Tyler Perry and Slash.
Ford was first arrested last month after illegally entering the community, TMZ said. He pleaded guilty to a trespassing charge, and a judge ordered him to stay 1,000 feet from the community. But he didn’t listen, with TMZ saying he returned with his sights set specifically on Jenner. This time, he didn’t break in near the front gate but gained access by scaling a mountainside behind the community where there is no security.
Ford managed to get into Jenner’s backyard where her security team spotted him sitting by her pool, TMZ said. But by the time the police arrived, he had fled. Ford returned again on Tuesday — again by climbing the unsecured mountain — and made his way to Jenner’s front porch, TMZ reported. “It’s gotta be enraging to her because security at her multimillion dollar exclusive gated community left a gaping hole for the guy to enter,” TMZ reported.
TMZ reported Thursday morning that security had been beefed up in Mulholland Estates, with guards posted on the mountainside and fences being installed.
