Gigi Hadid defends herself when she gets manhandled by a prankster at Milan fashion week!

gigi hadid and bella hadid at max mara show in milan. gigi was manhandled and she tried to free herself.

Supermodel and the present love interest of Zayn Mallick, Gigi Hadid was man handled at the Milan fashion show.

After walking down the runway for designer Max Mara at the Milan fashion week both Gigi and Bella were making their way towards a waiting car when a man grabbed Gigi from behind. He even lifted her up. Not being a "damsel in distress" Gigi, however tried to fight him off.

The man was later identified as a well known prankster, Vitalii Sediuk.

The 21 year old model came out of the Max Mara show hand in hand with her sister Bella and was taking selfies with her fans when this incident took place.

When Sediuk lifted her off the ground Gigi kept hold of her sister's hand. The 19 year old Bella shouted "Let go of her!" and scrambled to free her sister.

Apparently Vitalii has been following Gigi after she came out of the show and ultimately pulled this prank on her.

At first Gigi was very shocked and she was shaken badly. Then she tried to protect herself by elbowing Vitalii. When he let go of her Gigi stormed after him yelling "'Who the f*** are you, you piece of s***.'

Eventually security intervened and she was whisked away, looking shaken and carrying her sunglasses, which nearly fell off her head. Before getting into a car Gigi even asked one of the security men to go and find that man.

Later, Gigi twitted saying that "I am a HUMAN BEING and had EVERY RIGHT to defend myself. How dare that idiot think he has a right to man handle a complete stranger. He ran quick tho.."😒😎

Vitalii justified his behaviour by saying that this was his way of protesting against Gigi and fellow model friend Kendall Jenner who are considered as "high fashion".

He also took a dig at American Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

He said "While I consider Gigi Hadid beautiful, she and her friend Kendall Jenner, have nothing to do with high fashion. By doing this I encourage fashion industry to put true talents on the runway and Vogue covers instead of well-connected cute girls from Instagram. 'You can call it a manifest or a protest. This is also a wake up call for Anna Wintour who turned Vogue into tabloid by putting Kardashians and other doubtful celebrities on a cover of a well-respected magazin."
