Prankster targets Kardashian’s ‘butt’

-

Kim Kardashian is reportedly seeking a restrainin­g order and police action against celebrity prankster Vitalii Sediuk after he ambushed her in Paris, where she is attending Paris Fashion Week.

Sediuk grabbed Kardashian’s leg and tried to kiss her rear end Wednesday as she made her way through a crowd of paparazzi in front of a restaurant. The incident was caught on video by Kardashian’s makeup artist.

It showed Sediuk being pulled to the ground by her security detail.

In a statement, Sediuk said he perpetrate­d the attack as a protest “to popularize natural beauty among teenage girls,” targeting Kardashian’s rumoured “butt implants.”

He also claimed it was a “coincidenc­e” that both he and Kardashian were in the same spot.

It’s the second time Kardashian has fallen victim to Sediuk’s unwelcome attention after she was accosted two years ago outside a fashion show. He caused her to stumble briefly.

Sediuk previously spent two days in jail after jostling with Brad Pitt at a Los Angeles film premiere and he crawled underneath America Ferrera’s dress at a film premiere at the Cannes festival.

He also accosted model Gigi Hadid at Milan Fashion Week last week, calling it a form of protest against the use of celebrity models.
