Sediuk also claimed to the AP that he didn’t plan the moment and that it was a “coincidence” that he and the Selfish author, 35, were at the same spot at the same time.

As previously reported by Us Weekly, Kardashian was walking into L’Avenue when Sediuk attempted to kiss her behind. Kardashian’s bodyguard reacted quickly and tackled the man.

According to the AP, a formal complaint has yet to be filed to Paris police.

Just six days ago, the prankster attacked Gigi Hadid. He tried to pick up the model outside of a Milan Fashion Week Show and she elbowed him in the face before he ran away.

The aggressor previously spent two days in jail after attacking Brad Pitt at the 2014 Los Angeles premiere of Maleficent. He also previously accosted Kardashian outside of a Balmain show in 2014.

His other past targets have included Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith and America Ferrera
