Paris, Sep 26 (IANS): Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who is married to rapper Kanye West, was almost pushed to the ground by Vitalii Sediuk, known for gate crashing red carpet events, at Paris Fashion Week here.

Ukranian former journalist Sediuk, who is trying to carve out a career as a model, was in the crowd, which gathered around Kardashian and her husband's car as they arrived at the Balmain show Thursday, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Sediuk reportedly pulled Kardashian's hair and almost knocked the 33-year-old star to the ground in front of her husband and mother Kris Jenner.

“The information about Vitalii pulling Kim's hair is untrue. Vitalii hugged Kim and that caused a big crowding with the security that pulled him down to the ground. Because of the mess, Kim may have lost her balance, but Vitalii didn't mean any harm,” said a source close to Sediuk.

Security quickly jumped in and escorted a shocked Kim into the building.

Sediuk was also sentenced to 30 days in jail for attacking actor Brad Pitt at the Los Angeles premiere of “Maleficent” earlier this year.
