It's all about the glitz and glamour at Paris Fashion Week, but sometimes a lone rogue appears to play stunts on innocent stars.
The New York Daily reports that socialite Kim Kardashian was attacked on the way to a Balmain show by notorious Hollywood prankster, Vitalii Sediuk.
Kim, husband Kanye West, and mom Kris Jenner arrived at the fashion show last Thursday with several hundred people waiting for them. When Kim got out of the car, a guy lunges and tackles her legs, seemingly trying to pull her down.
It was later reported that the Ukranian prankster Vitalii Sediuk took credit for the "prank" by lunging at the reality TV star.
Kim was quickly rescued by her body guards while the assailant was restrained. During the frenzy, a concerned Kris was caught on video yelling "Stop it!," as she saw her daughter being tackled.
Check out the video below:
This is not the first time that Sediuk has done this kind of stunt. He did similar pranks to countless other stars at different red carpet events. Some victims include Leonardo diCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Will Smith.
It is, however, his first prank since his "retirement" in July, when he said that he's over pranking A-listers. Back then, he said, "I would like to thank Hollywood for having me this two years and a half. It was an experience that taught me a lot in life. Most importantly, I would like to say sorry for celebrities that had to deal with my stunts and thank them for being tolerant to me all this time."
Very cordial of him, but celebrities have not been amused by the stunts he pulled over time. He has already been arrested and apprehended for similar incidents from the stars that he hung on to.
As for the incident with Kim, the Sydney Morning Herald reports that Sediuk only claimed to be trying to give the reality star a cuddle. He also said that the prank was a protest against the U.S. government for banning him from entering the country.
He told Mail Online, "I hope Kim is OK and won't be mad at me as I didn't mean any harm," he told MailOnline. "Kanye is one lucky man as Kim is a goddess!"
Sediuk has not been arrested right after the stint with Kim, although it was reported that the paparazzi held him down as Kim, Kanye, and Kris were whisked away.
