Model Gigi Hadid manhandled in Milan
In a video released by TMZ, Gigi is seen being lifted off the ground by Ukrainian prankster Vitalii Sediuk (who was wearing a disguise) as she and sister Bella were exiting the venue.
Sediuk grabbed the 21-year-old model from behind and lifted her into the air as she and her sister Bella Hadid, 19, walked to their vehicle.
Shocking footage surfaced earlier in the day which showed the stunning star being scooped up in the air while she lashed out at him before her sister Bella shouted at him to put her down.
Okay, then. No word on whether Wintour or anyone else is listening to Sediuk’s recommendations, but it’s probably correct to assume Hadid’s definitely not sorry for giving him the elbow jab when she did. It has now changed again to: “Don’t Mess With Gigi: Astonishing moment model Gigi Hadid ELBOWS prankster in the face when he pounces on her in the street and lifts her off the floor”.
Caught off guard, the American supermodel appeared shocked as she fought off the man, believed to be prankster Vitalii Sediuk, according to the Daily Mail.
In the video taken of the incident Gigi can be seen stopping to take photos with fans while heading to a waiting vehicle, where the prankster appears to be lingering.
Afterwards, she took to her Twitter account to – quite rightly – defend her actions. How this idiot may think he has the right to touch a total unknown. “He ran quick tho”, Gigi wrote on Twitter following the incident.
Hadid has been stealing headlines since New York Fashion Week, when the model launched her collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger.
Now Hadid has defended her decision to not let a stranger carry her off to who knows where, because apparently that’s a thing famous women still have to do. Gigi’s little sis also kept her hair back in a sleek ponytail, allowing her to showcase the slim black choker around her neck.
Gigi Hadid’s bare breasts certainly garnered a lot of attention for the fashion show. You can call it a manifest or a protest.
