The same man who [attacked](http://motto.time.com/4504476/gigi-hadid-street-attacker-max-mara/) supermodel Gigi Hadid last week [attempted to kiss](http://www.eonline.com/news/798444/kim-kardashian-files-complaint-with-french-authorities-over-vitalii-sediuk-s-attempted-ambush) Kardashian’s rear in Paris on Wednesday, [E! news reports](http://www.eonline.com/news/798444/kim-kardashian-files-complaint-with-french-authorities-over-vitalii-sediuk-s-attempted-ambush). As the star entered a Balmain event for Paris Fashion Week, Vitalii Sediuk ran up behind her and tried to kiss her left butt cheek. Kardashian’s security team quickly tackled him to the ground, and she [praised their work on Twitter](https://twitter.com/KimKardashian/status/781165302314831872). > [](https://twitter.com/KimKardashian/status/781165302314831872) This mischief maker has a long history of assaulting celebrities, and he [wrote on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/BK6JR2RjZYX/) that his invasion of personal space was “protesting Kim for using fake butt implants.” But Kardashian has [long denied](http://www.eonline.com/news/512742/kim-kardashian-slams-latest-round-of-butt-implant-rumors-get-a-life) having butt implants, and even got an X-Ray on her TV show to prove it. She isn’t done with him yet. She’s not letting this stranger or his rumors get her down. Kardashian has reached out to French authorities to file a complaint about Sediuk, according to [E! News](http://www.eonline.com/news/798444/kim-kardashian-files-complaint-with-french-authorities-over-vitalii-sediuk-s-attempted-ambush), and has filed a [restraining order](http://www.tmz.com/2016/09/28/kim-kardashian-ass-kiss-prankster-restraining-order/). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4513059/kim-kardashian-attacker-kisses-butt/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4513059/kim-kardashian-attacker-kisses-butt/"},"headline":"Gigi Hadid's Attacker Tried to Kiss Kim Kardashian.
