New Delhi:
Supermodel Gigi Hadid was groped by an unknown man while she was leaving Milan Fashion Week on September 22. The Vitoria's Secret supermodel was walking towards a waiting car with her sister Bella Hadid when a man, believed to be serial prankster Vitalii Sediuk grabbed and lifted her.
Gigi, 21, who fought Vitalii off with her elbow and chased him, later tweeted: "I'm a human being and I have every right to defend myself. How dare that idiot think he has the right to manhandle a complete stranger? He ran quickly though."
Gigi "thanked" her boxing coach and tweeted:
On his (unverified) Instagram account Vitalii Sediuk claimed responsibility and explained: "By doing this I encourage fashion industry to put true talents on the runway instead of well-connected cute girls from Instagram."
