If you ever want to know what the absolutely horrifying part of being famous is, this would be it.

Not only was the set up for Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Kris Jenner's arrival at the Balmain S/S 15 show in Paris absolutely bonkers, it all got seriously ropey when she was ambushed by renowned Hollywood prankster/asshat Vitalii Sediuk who attempted to knock her off her feet.

It's hard to see what exactly went down thanks to the media and fan scrum that was happening around the car, but TMZ are reporting that Ukrainian-born 'personality' is said to have moved towards Kim as she exited her car and tackled her causing her to stumble about while Kris and Kanye can do nothing but look on.

Kim was luckily grabbed by bodyguards, who shielded her from the attack and helped her make her way through the crowd into the show.

If Vitalii's name is familiar to you that would be because he's the one who scaled a barrier at the 'Maleficent' premiere to confront Brad Pitt and has previously accosted stars including Bradley Cooper, Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith at red carpet events.

TMZ.com also reports that reps for Vitalii have been in contact to confirm he is taking credit for the incident.
