Vitalii Sediuk: America's Notorious Hollywood Prankster

Apparently attacking celebrities for publicity doesn't always count as assault.

Vitalii Sediuk is a Ukrainian entertainment journalist who attacks American celebrities for pranks.

The most recent attack happened on September 21, 2016, in Milan after the Max Mara Fashion Show. Model Gigi Hadid was leaving with her sister, Bella Hadid, and was grabbed from behind and lifted off the ground.

Gigi Hadid reacted quickly by defending herself and elbowing Sediuk in the face until he released her. Sediuk then explained after the attack on social media that it was all because he believes models like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner do not deserve to be on covers of editorial fashion magazines because they are just "Instagram models". Although it seems he attacks celebrities he has a personal grudge over, he also attacks some just for publicity and attention.

Here is a long list of all the celebrities who have been "pranked" by Sediuk.

1. Madonna

Sediuk hands Madonna hydrangeas even though she publicly hates them.

2. Will Smith

Sediuk goes in for a kiss on Will Smith during a red carpet event.

3. Adele

Sediuk crashes the grammy's right before Adele's speech.

4. Bradley Cooper

Sediuk rushes on to the red carpet during an award show and latches on to Bradley Cooper.

5. Leonardo Dicaprio

Much like the Bradley Cooper incident, Sediuk also attacked Leonardo Dicaprio.

6. America Ferrera

Sediuk slid under America Ferrera's gown at a movie premiere.

7. Kim Kardashian

Sediuk tackled Kim Kardashian as she was leaving a fashion show in Paris.

8. Ciara

Sediuk stripped down to a thong as Ciara arrived at a fashion show in Paris.

9. Miranda Kerr

Also during Paris fashion week, he attempted to kiss Miranda Kerr on the cheek as she was arriving to a show.

Sediuk has been banned from entering the U.S. due to these stunts and has been charged multiple times with assault and battery. He has even done jail time and a year of psychological counseling. Some people may see these acts as harmless and funny however they are extremely serious attacks and a campaign with the slogan "No woman is safe while this piece of s**t is free" was launched which aims to get Sediuk arrested and put on trial for assault.

Sediuk's actions are very controversial on whether they should be tried as assault if they are just pranks. However I believe, pranks or not, physically handling people without their consent should be tried as assault, especially in the context of alarming celebrities for publicity.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
