A disgusting moment that Hadid shouldn’t have had to deal with, though she was right: He did run away fast. Outside of the Max Mara show at Milan Fashion Week in Italy on September 22, the model was happily posing for selfies with fans, until things took a nasty turn.
“… I’m a HUMAN BEING – and had EVERY RIGHT to defend myself”, she tweeted.
“While I consider Gigi Hadid handsome, she and her friend Kendall Jenner have nothing to do with high fashion”.
Model Coco Rocha believes sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid are true supermodels – despite what the haters have to say.
The supermodel was leaving a fashion week show when the prankster took her by surprise, causing her to lash out to get free. He claims he’s an “Entertainment Hollywood reporter”, but from his Instagram, it kinda just looks like he takes a lot of selfies in front of unsuspecting celebrities.
The man in question is reportedly “prankster” Vitalii Sediuk.
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”. What is a woman supposed to think when a unusual man grabs you from behind and tries to pick you up off the street?
First, Gigi turned heads while hosting a Max Mara handbag event at the brand’s flagship store, showing off her long legs and draping a gold sequin trench over her shoulders.
“While I consider Gigi Hadid handsome, she and her friend Kendall Jenner have nothing to do with high fashion”, he wrote.
“You can call it a manifest or a protest”, he added.
He was sentenced to 30 days in jail after the Brad Pitt incident which led to a melee on the red carpet that left the actor with broken sunglasses after he was hit in the face.
