First it was Gigi Hadid in Milan, and this week, unfortunately, it’s Kim Kardashian in Paris.
“Celebrity
prankster” Vitalii Sediuk struck again on Wednesday when he attempted
to kiss the reality star’s rear before being swiftly tackled by her
security guard, Pascal Duvier. Sediuk told the Associated Press his act
was a protest “to popularize natural beauty among teenage girls.”
But it wasn’t Kardashian’s first encounter with Sediuk; two years ago, he attacked the mother of two during Paris Fashion Week, attempting to knock her to the ground as she exited the Balmain show with her husband and mother.
Now, according to TMZ, she’s
planning on filing a police report and wants a restraining order
because she “considers the guy a constant threat to herself and others,
who won’t stop until he pays the price.”
Kardashian
might be super famous, but that’s no reason why she — or any celebrity,
for that matter — should have to feel unsafe. And that’s what’s most
disheartening about what’s gone on this month with Sediuk, who is banned
from the United States after he targeted Brad Pitt at the Hollywood
premiere of Maleficent. These incidents aren’t funny antics or
“pranks,” but disturbing violations of women’s autonomy and identity,
attempts to dismantle the apparently still radical idea that a woman has
the right to dictate what does and does not happen to her body and who
is allowed to have access to her body in any way.
