Kim Kardashian Attacked in Paris By Same Man Who Grabbed Gigi Hadid
Ball so hard, that s**t cray!
When Kim Kardashian West stepped out in Paris, France, on Wednesday, it surprisingly wasn’t her sheer ensemble that people had their eyes on – it was Vitalii Sediuk, a 27-year-old man from Boryspil, Ukraine, who attempted to attack the reality star from behind.

Luckily, Kim’s security guard, Pascal Duvier, was able to grab hold of the attacker before he was able to lay hands on the mother of two.

The Selfish author later took to Twitter to speak up on the incident, writing, “My security @PascalDuvier is a G.”

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Vitalii has targeted Kim, as he attempted a similar attack in the French capital two years ago. During that incident, Vitalii was actually able to tackle Kim by grabbing onto her legs, almost pulling her to the ground.
Vitalii is notorious for pulling these types of stunts at film premieres and awards ceremonies – he’s previously targeted Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Will Smith. Just last week, he went after Gigi Hadid in Milan, Italy, as she was on her way to an event for Milan Fashion Week.
As seen in photos snapped from the day, Vitalii wrapped his arms around Gigi’s waist and lifted her into the air. The 21-year-old supermodel then elbowed him until she was able to release herself from his tight grip.

“Honestly, I felt I was in danger, and I had every right to react the way I did,” Gigi later shared in a post she penned for Lena Dunham’s Lenny Letter. “If anything, I want girls to see the video and know that they have the right to fight back, too, if put in a similar situation.”
