It’s pretty uncomfortable to watch.

However, throughout the short trip to the vehicle, a man in sunglasses – according to MailOnline, he’s believed to have later been identified as “prankster” Vitalii Sediuk – followed closely behind Gigi.
Following the incident, Gigi was accused of getting too physical, but responded on Twitter saying, “The ACTUAL fans that were there can tell you what happened”. Photo: Splash.Her sister Bella looked concerned as they walked away from the situation.
After the stunt, Sediuk took to Instagram where he explained he carried out the prank in protest at Gigi and her fellow model friend Kendall Jenner being considered “high fashion” while also making a dig at American Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
Sediuk has previously assaulted Brad Pitt, who is now embroiled in a messy divorce from Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DiCaprio, Miranda Kerr and Kim Kardashian.
Sediuk added, “You can call it a manifest or a protest. By doing this, I encourage the fashion industry to put true talents on the runway and Vogue covers instead of well-connected cute girls from Instagram”, Vitalii says. A random man with no experience or weight in the fashion industry who has been arrested on multiple occasions and accused of sexual assault has passed his judgement down. And here is what is so great about Hadid: she was just like, Oh hell no. Her attacker has been repeatedly labelled a “prankster” and “fan” while she’s been positioned as the aggressor.
Hadid, an avid kickboxer who often shares videos of her gruelling workouts, addressed the distressing encounter on Twitter.
“I am human and had every right to defend myself”. How dare that idiot think he has the right to manhandle a complete stranger? She also gave advice to other girls who might experience the same thing and more importantly, she thanked her boxing coach.

In fact, as the man fled the scene, Gigi had to point at him and ASK one of her bodyguards to pursue him!
