Brad Pitt was attacked by a prankster at the Maleficent premiere in Hollywood last week, and while the dude who punched him in the face, Ukranian “journalist” Vitalii Sediuk is in some serious hot water over the incident, Brad still wants to have his say about how the whole thing went down.
Here’s what he told People:
“I was at the end of the line signing autographs, when out the corner of my eye I saw someone stage-diving over the barrier at me. I took a step back; this guy had latched onto my lapels. I looked down and the nutter was trying to bury his face in my crotch, so I cracked him twice in the back of the head – not too hard – but enough to get his attention, because he did let go. I think he was then just grabbing for a hand hold because the guys were on him, and he reached up and caught my glasses.”
“I don’t mind an exhibitionist,” Pitt continues, “but if this guy keeps it up he’s going to spoil it for the fans who have waited up all night for an autograph or a selfie, because it will make people more wary to approach a crowd. And he should know, if he tries to look up a woman’s dress again, he’s going to get stomped.”
“And he should know, if he tries to look up a woman’s dress again, he’s going to get stomped.” Atta boy Brad!
I heard the guy is a “professional” pranker. I’d have him arrested for assault and see how funny he thought THAT was.
