This morning Brad Pitt is speaking about the chaotic moment he was allegedly accosted on the red carpet last Wednesday.
Pitt who can been seen in this video, briefly fighting back against Vitali Seduik, describes the former Ukrainian reporter as a nutter., telling People Magazine I saw someone stage diving over the barrier at me. He says Seduik then lashed down to his lapels. I cracked him twice in the back of the head, not too hard but enough to get his attention because he did let go.
There was a scuffle and the gentleman was quickly escorted away from the red carpet with security.
Seduik pleading no content to battery and unlawful activities at the entertaining event, maintains he just wanted to give him a hug.
I never punched, I never slapped Brad Pitt in his face and this is absolutely false information.
But the 25 year old has built a career around pranking celebrities in public places, like Will Smith, Leonardo and Adele. And he was even reportedly fired from Ukrainian Television Station after crawling underneath actress's dress at last month's Cam film festival.
Pitt said I don't mind exhibitionist, but if this guy keeps it up, he is going to spoil it for the fans to have waited all night for an autogragh. And he should know, if he tries to look up a woman's dress again, he is going to get stomped.
Seduik pleaded no content to battery and unlawful activities. The Ukrainian has been sentenced to three years' probation with one year's psychiartric counseling. And he has been ordered to stay away from Brad Pitt and Angelina Julie. Still he says he is not going to give up press, and instead he says his future stunts will be done legally and in a polite way. Good for Brad Pitt. You don't look up for girl's dresses.
No,it's not cool at all.
