Model-turned-television personality Tyra Banks will be facing a different kind of audience this week.
Banks will testify in a Manhattan Criminal Court room where Brady Green goes on trial on charges of stalking her from coast to coast.
The host of "America's Next Top Model" is expected to say Green's unwanted attentions alarmed her and made her afraid for her safety.
Defense lawyer Sydney O'Hagen says her 38-year-old client is simply an overzealous fan. She says Green simply answered Banks' invitation for fans "to reach out to her.
Green was arrested near a Manhattan studio where the 35-year-old Banks tapes the "Tyra Banks Show." He allegedly told police: "I know her; she knows me. We're good
friends. We had a thing together. I sent her flowers. I sent her cards.
I've got satellites watching me and recording us."
Green went on trial in Manhattan on Friday afternoon, and ended his first day of trial by saying nothing. He faces up to 90 days in jail if convicted on the misdemeanor charge.
