That man goes by the name of Vitalii Sediuk, who later said in a statment to Daily Mail that the whole kerfuffle was a protest against the fashion industry’s increasing reliance on celebrity culture:
“While I consider Gigi Hadid beautiful, she and her friend Kendall Jenner, have nothing to do with high fashion. By doing this I encourage fashion industry to put true talents on the runway and Vogue covers instead of well-connected cute girls from Instagram. You can call it a manifest or a protest. This is also a wake up call for Anna Wintour who turned Vogue into tabloid by putting Kardashians and other doubtful celebrities on a cover of a well-respected magazine.”
While basically every normal functioning human knows that you don’t put your hands on other people without their consent, Sediuk has struck again – this time targeting Kim Kardashian. The socialite star was in Paris when Sediuk squirmed his way through paparazzi before attempting to kiss Kardashian’s butt. He’s swiftly tackled to the floor by security before the footage ends:
Kardashian later thanked her security guard Pascal Duvier on Twitter:
My security @PascalDuvier is a G

As reported by Yahoo, Sediuk previously attacked Kardashian in 2014 as she exited a Balmain fashion show, knocking her to the ground. Speaking on that incident, he said “I like the showbusiness world. But it’s obviously not my intention to offend someone. It looks like I’m a monster, but I’m a normal guy. Well, what I’m doing isn’t normal — but I don’t have bad intentions.” Right, okay.
In summary, attacking and assaulting people is not normal. This guy is a fucking idiot.
