Kim's bodyguards stop red carpet prankster from attacking her again


Los Angeles - Kim Kardashian West was allegedly almost attacked for a second time at the weekend.

The 33-year-old star's security team blocked Vitalii Sediuk, who tackled her at Paris Fashion Week last Thursday, from striking her again as she enjoyed dinner with her husband Kanye West at Hotel Costes.

The couple's bodyguards spotted the renowned prankster and immediately jumped into action by surrounding him and preventing him from entering the building until the pair had left, according to TMZ.com.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star feared for her life as she arrived at the Balmain SS15 show in the French capital last week after the media personality, 25, pulled her backwards as she exited her car.

Kim was quickly grabbed by bodyguards, who shielded her from the attack, and ushered through the crowd and into the building in time for the show.

Vitalii - who has also accosted Bradley Cooper, Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith in the past - claimed he was more careful when he pulled out the prank on the brunette beauty and would have gone further if it had been her husband, whom she married in May.

He said after the attack: "If it was Kanye West, I would have done it like I did it with Bradley Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio.

"But with Kim Kardashian, I was very cautious because I know she is a woman - so I kind of hugged her legs."
