A Georgia man accused of stalking Tyra Banks was simply responding to the model-turned-TV host's invitation for fans to reach out to her when he followed her from coast to coast, a defense lawyer said Friday.
Lawyer Sydney O'Hagen said in her opening statement at Brady Green's trial in New York that he was just an overzealous fan who had hoped to be in Banks' studio audience, meet her and perhaps be a guest on her show.
O'Hagen noted that people interviewed on "The Tyra Banks Show" are not just celebrities, but often ordinary people who have had unusual experiences.
