3. One of Kardashian’s stalkers was threatening Pete Davidson.
This past May, Kardashian was once again in court due to a stalker’s horrifying threats to both her and her then-boyfriend Pete Davidson—from a man against whom she already had a restraining order. According to court documents filed by her attorney Shawn Holley, the man sent numerous letters in which he “made numerous violent threats,” as well as “sexual comments.” He also threatened to take actions that “would cause Ms. Kardashian and her family to be imprisoned,” and issued threats against her children with rapper Kanye West, North, Psalm, Chicago and Saint West. The most frightening letter involved a so-called “HIT LIST” the stalker was keeping. In that letter, he threatened: “If I ever see you in New York or your boyfriend in Los Angeles I will carry it out that day. Pete Must and Will Die this weekend and you next weekend.” RELATED: 6 Strict Rules The Kardashians Make Their Trainers Follow
