Caitlyn Jenner is suing the paparazzi over their alleged involvement in a fatal car crash last year.
A woman was killed when Jenner rear-ended her car last February and caused her to swerve into oncoming traffic.
Now, in court documents reported by People, the 66-year-old is accusing photographers of “harassing [her] throughout the day up through the time of the accident”.
Jenner is seeking for the paparazzi to be held at least partially responsible for any liability she ensues and wants them to take financial responsibility of any damages and legal proceedings that occurred as a result of the accident.
“As a direct consequence and result of this stalking, harassing and distracting conduct, [Jenner] was visually distracted, and the negligence and reckless conduct of the Stalker Defendants did contribute to the cause of an accident where seconds and split seconds mattered,” the court document reads.
Jenner settled a separate lawsuit in December with the driver who stopped his car in front of that of the woman who was killed in the accident, causing her to brake suddenly.
The former Olympic athlete is now accusing the driver of “sitting stopped in the middle of Pacific Coast Highway looking at her cellphone”, “driving at a speed (zero) unreasonable for the conditions” and “driving with a suspended license”.
Jenner was not criminally charged for the incident.
