New York, Aug 16 (IANS): Model Kendall Jenner has sent a legal letter to a waitress who claimed she had thrown money in her face because she refuses to be bullied.

The 18-year-old has sent a cease-and-desist letter to waitress Blaine Morris after she claimed the reality star "threw money" in her face after she confronted her when she left an eatery here without paying a bill.

Kendall's mother Kris Jenner says she took action because she won't allow herself to be bullied, reports contactmusic.com.

Kris said: "(Kendall takes things) very seriously and doesn't want people to walk all over her, and we go back to the thing of people who are bullies and do things that are not honest.

"Kendall's very serious about what people say and do and she considers her reputation everything and she feels like she did the most honest thing she could have done and was so nice.

"And by the way, Kendall lives very near this place and frequents this restaurant all the time and felt like she was in a real safe place," she added.

She said the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star "felt horrible" about the waitress' account of what happened because she is always so "respectful" to other people.
