The 21-year-old model and girlfriend of Zayn Malik had been taking photos with fans outside of Max Mara’s fashion show venue during Milan Fashion Week when the incident occurred.

She added, “He ran quick tho…”
In the clip above, a smiling Gigi and sister Bella leave the event in good spirits, and Gigi makes a point to take selfies with a handful of fans. When the man (who was smirking the entire time and man, do I hate smirkers) walked away after lifting her up for his super hilarious 10 seconds of fame, Hadid actually tried to go after him before being stopped by a bodyguard.
Gigi tweeted that she had every right to react the way she did, and no one should be allowed to touch someone without their consent. After she gave the man a few elbows, he let her go and skipped away.
Sediuk posted a video to his Instagram account of Hadid leaving the fashion show before he assaulted her.

Gigi even thanked her boxing coach on twitter and thanked fans for backing her side of the story. Gigi, and her sister, Bella, were about to go back to their vehicle when suddenly a man grabbed her from behind and lifted her.
“The REAL fans who were at the scene can testify to what happened”. There’s a pretty decent chance that her first thought wasn’t “oh this silly prankster must be gently pranking me, haha”.
In the statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Sediuk said he considers Hadid and Kendall Jenner “beautiful” but that they “have nothing to do with high fashion”.
He also took a selfie with Wintour, who notices the camera in the corner of her eye as she holds a gold smart phone to her ear. How dare that idiot thinks (sic) he has the right to man-handle a complete stranger.
