Gigi Hadid fends off man-handler between runway turns

Gigi Hadid had herself quite a moment on Thursday when a random creep made a decision to literally grab her from behind and pick her up off the floor after the Max Mara show in Milan.

As the 21-year-old was leaving the venue where the Italian brand showed its Spring/Summer 2017 collection, having changed out of the palm tree print pieces into her street style clothes consisting of an off-the-shoulder graphic T-shirt with a pinstriped corset layered on top, Sediuk came up behind her and picked her up.

“While I consider Gigi Hadid handsome, she and her friend Kendall Jenner, have nothing to do with high fashion”, he wrote in an Instagram post.

The young fashionista, who is now dating singer Zayn Malik, shouted after her attacker, “Who the f**k are you, you piece of s**t”.

While many fans supported Hadid’s right to defend herself, The Sun shared an article about the incident on Thursday with the title: “Not Model Behaviour: Gigi Hadid aggressively lashes out and ELBOWS fan in the FACE after he tries to pick her up”.

Gigi Hadid looked shaken after the attack as she walked to a auto.

According to Page Six, despite having their own bodyguard, Gigi didn’t hesitate to defend herself against the stranger.

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”.

The shell-shocked beauty put on a feisty display as she turned around to elbow the trickster before trying to chase after him while she was restrained by her security. You can call it a manifest or a protest.

The story was first picked up by United Kingdom tabloid The Sun, but with a grossly sexist headline: “NOT MODEL BEHAVIOR: Gigi Hadid aggressively lashes out and ELBOWS fan in the FACE after he tries to pick her up”. “He ran quick tho”, she said, adding a fist emoji.
