Here are some photos of Kendall Jenner walking the Dior runway during Paris Fashion Week. This is actually the first time Dior has used her as a model. While I’m still kind of meh on Kendall’s modeling skills, I do appreciate the fact that she’s really going for it and she wants to be a “real” model, not just an Instagram model or whatever. Over the past year especially, Kendall has gotten some major runway gigs, like Chanel, Balmain, Bottega Veneta, Versace, etc. And now Dior. That’s her brand now – high-end runway model. Good for her.
Following the Balmain show late last week, Kendall went out to party in Paris with Gigi Hadid and some other friends. When she was outside of the club, a paparazzo got too close to her… or something. Punches were thrown. By Kendall.
That’s definitely not model behavior! Kendall Jenner allegedly threw a punch at a photographer outside Paris nightclub L’Arc on Thursday, March 3.
Photos show the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 20, and bestie Gigi Hadid, 20, arguing with the paparazzo after leaving a Paris Fashion Week party. Jenner’s manager and bodyguard apparently held back the duo and stopped the fight from escalating. The photographer was also restrained and scolded for getting too close to the girls.
You can see some photos from the incident here – there are no photos of Kendall actually punching the guy, but there are pics of Gigi and Kendall pointing their fingers and yelling at someone. Kendall looked pissed and upset. This is something of a habit with Kendall – not so much punching people, but stuff always happens to her in Paris. At last year’s Paris Fashion Week, she was swarmed by dozens (hundreds?) of people/fans/photographers while she was just leaving the Balmain show. Why does Paris go crazy for Kendall?

I thought this Dior showing was not as bad as they usually are on the red carpets.
They are more focus on selling bags, shoes and sunglasses than presenting the “wow” factor at the Red Carpet.
Is it me or do models look angrier than usual this season?
I get the expressionless “it’s all about the clothes” walk they do, but it’s beyond that.
They all seem really cheesed off about something …
I really like kendall : )
The photographer deserved it if he was invading her space and made her feel threatened. It must be scary to be constantly swarmed by paparazzi. Just because they are paparazzi shouldn’t give them the right to make anyone, especially a young girl, feel unsafe.
The US headline rubs me the wrong way. “That’s not model behavior!” I know it’s a pun, but it’s always used in instances like this.
So models are supposed to allow invasion or possible assault? Be quiet, don’t speak, just stand there to look at or do what I want you to do? Is that model behavior?
F%# model behavior.
I agree, Wiffie. Absolutely.
Until last year, my sister in law worked for a very well known Internet news outlet. For the nearly five years she was employed there, there were multiple phone “tips” EVERY single week about where the Kartrash/DeJennerates were going to be coming, going, staying–and who they would be with. The “anonymous” tips were very specific about exact times when the photographers should get to whatever location they would be tipped off about…right down to a description of the outfits the family members in question would be wearing. They even got calls about the young kids on a regular basis, for example…”Kourtney will be taking two of her kids to an art store on X Street around 2:00 this afternoon…Scott is supposed to be there”.
Obviously, the site was being tipped off by the K/J camp. This isn’t a secret…it has been known for years that the family would tip off the media where they would be or who they would be with, but it was weird to actually have it confirmed first hand by someone who was witnessing these fame whores in action on a near daily basis.
Bottom line– zero sympathy for anyone in this family. They absolutely bring on and WANT this attention. And as for Kendall and her personal space… isn’t that what the bodyguard is paid for? To keep incidents like this from happening? Unless he is instructed to hold back a little until a shot is taken of Kendall…which seems exactly like what occurred in this situation. No worries though, the family now gets double the publicity.
Thank you Ellie! It’s so true. People don’t realize that paps aren’t lurking around all the time except for huge names who are embroiled in a scandal or whose photos command big money.
Reale I’d agree w/ u anytime but they actually invite them,tip them off where they’ll Be. U cannot pick n choose when ur mood fits them, her life is reality tv,w/out them they wouldn’t be out there.
No other celebrity has so many daily pics of al their daily activities yet somehow these paps know all their schedules. You See other celebrities going to a market dressed in jeans n t shirts but they are trimmed n glamed to go to the corner.
Honestly, my opinion about paparazzi has always been the same irrespective of who the victim was. They intentionally provoke people into reacting, and a lot of it is sickeningly personal.
These celebs are not “property of the public.” They are not denied basic human rights because they love attention. I have seen videos where celebs have been touched, groped, handled, jeered, shouted at, teased, and what not by fans/paparazzi. IT IS SCARY.
I would not want a total stranger approaching too close to me, invading my personal space. Why do people cruelly assume that celebs want the same?
Yup, this is exactly how I feel. I’d lose my shit if I had to fend off paps on a daily basis. But just brace yourself for the “they signed up for it” excuses to justify behavior that would be considered criminal (stalking,harassing) if done by anybody else.
Yes, MOMOKO. I say this all the time. If a person was stocking a playground, taking picture of my child and myself. That person would be arrested!! Nobody deserves that kind of treatment. I would flip out daily. Looks like I’ll have to never be famous. Ha!
Okay, what if they were hanging around the playground because you called them and said you’d be there?
I am slightly claustrophobic, and if I were ever swarmed by a crowd of people, I would panic. Even if I had “signed up for it.” I couldn’t help it. I really do think photographers go way too far, yelling horrible things at people and getting close enough to frighten them. I’m no fan of the K girls, but what gives these people the right to harass and scare young girls or anyone else? I think there should be stricter laws about how close they can get, and they shouldn’t be allowed to provoke people by shouting insults at them.
Exactly. It’s easy to dismiss real concerns with a wave of the hand because “they make millions and this comes with the territory” but I think if we’re honest with ourselves, we’d admit that we’d be fearful and frustrated if our privacy was constantly invaded in such an aggressive, threatening manner.
Hate anything Kardashian but you will never see me defend paparazzi who cross the line like that.
Years ago I was in NOLA for the last night of Mardi Gras and the crowd was insane. I was pushed, groped and pulled in every direction. I was in complete fight or flight mode. I can’t stand KJ, but I don’t blame her at all. I would’ve lost my shit.
My question, not being snarky, is why don’t their bodyguards get between them and the apps? Nobody deserves that but what good are the bodyguards then. Not blaming the girls. I would have really decked them (hate crowds) and ended up in jail.
That’s a really good question. Maybe this happened before they intervened? Now I really want to know……
They probably don’t want to mess up the pictures by being in them. The girls want their picture taken, the bodyguard only intervenes if it gets dangerous
Well I’ll be one of those people are heres why. Its hard to feel bad for the K’s and J’s because THEY have made their whole careers off the paps. Let’s be real. This isn’t the same as the other celebrities who are famous for actual careers who get treated like crap by the paps- they don’t court for it any where near like the K’s do. They are the ones who have gone after this attention for years and years . Without the Paparazzi there would be no Kardashians. Let’s not forget a lot of this came out during Kim K’s last divorce. They court the Paps, they call them, they set up situations ( like Kim and Kanye getting out in the middle of a massive crowd to be seen and photographed when they could have went in the same way the rest of the celebs did with no issue) so sorry but many of us aren’t going to feel bad. However, I don’t believe they should be treated like dirt either. there’s a fine line with this game. But don’t play with the devil and not expect to be burned. It comes with the territory in this case. They all have security and this could have been thwarted in the first place.
I agree with you if he was keeping his distance and being civil. But if he was getting really close to her, I don’t blame her for being upset. Famous people have been murdered by crazy fans sometimes. She doesn’t know this guy or his intentions. I think that’s different from someone just taking your picture. He has no right to scare her. And I doubt the photographer makes a distinction between people who court publicity and those who don’t. He just wants the money shot.
I would also feel uncomfortable with the paparazzi, but then again, I don’t get paid millions for standing and looking pretty. If he was invading her space and made her feel unsafe, fair enough. But usually when celebrities complain about paparazzi, I find it extremely annoying. It comes with the territory, they knew what they were getting themselves into. Deal with it.
Normally I hate celebrities who punch it out – looking at you Sean Penn – but in this instance I’m on Kendall’s side. Paris is the city where Princess Diana died after being swarmed by the press (yes, I know her driver was drunk, but I doubt he would have been speeding if it wasn’t for the paps chasing them.) Kendall needs security around her.
You really think it was an accident? My, you are naive.
I’m not a big believer in conspiracy theories. Charles isn’t that smart. Sorry.
I know she’s not going to get much sympathy since she’s a Jenner/Kadashian. But a lot of paps go overboard. If they did the same kind of stuff to a non-celebrity they would be arrested. But because they are celebrities, it’s considered deserved and the price of fame.
I’m not a fan but I don’t know why people don’t give more credit to Kendall for her modeling career. Who you are related to only gets you so far. These major houses are not going to hire a bad model to walk or endorse their lines.
I don’t think Kendall is a bad model. She’s just not anything special. What gives her the edge is the publicity that comes along with her because of her family’s infamy and their collusion with the paps (her mother and Kim do the work, telling the photogs exactly where a K/J will be and when and with whom, this has been well established), plus the Twitter/Instagram followers (fake and real) as instant publicity for the designer’s brand. Without that, she very likely would not get the opportunities because there is a lot of competition and she doesn’t really stand out.
I don’t live in a country with much of a paparazzi element but I struggle sometimes to reconcile celebrities who court the paps one day and want photos taken and attention from them and then complain when it’s all too much. Sometimes even after they’ve called them themselves.
I agree it goes too far and is dangerous but many celebrities need to stop encouraging it (if that’s in fact what they do). I don’t know the answer but it seems to send dangerous mixed messages.
Not saying this applies necessarily to Kendall (thankfully she’s largely irrelevant in my world) just my thoughts generally.
Here’s the thing though: all pap photos should be agreed upon and arranged by both parties.
People around here have a habit of making it seem like celebs use the paps, when really it’s mutually beneficial to both parties to set up a time and place for photos. The celebs get to control their image in a safe way and the paps get a photo to sell. There’s just no need for photogs to be hiding in bushes or tailgating celebs just so you and I get to see a photo of an actor pumping gas or getting coffee.
…and I’m not overlooking the irony of posting this comment on a celeb gossip site. But FWIW, I have never bought a tabloid and I never would because I don’t want to support an industry that I think is slimy on a lot of levels.
I also think that just because you cooperate with responsible and professional photographers one day doesn’t mean irresponsible photographers have the right to scream C You Next Tuesday in your face as they did to Diana so they can get a picture of you crying. That’s dangerously close to blaming the victim.
Not victim blaming at all just saying out loud why I can see how it’s all so hard to digest at times. I don’t think when you choose papparazzi as your profession subtlety is part of the job description. Some of the things you read that they say to kids is disgusting. I agree it should be open and up from but it isn’t.
Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean you personally were blaming the victim. Just that some arguments sound a lot like “she asked for it, ” and that makes me uncomfortable.
I agree wholeheartedly with your first paragraph. I think paparazzi are invasive and can be disgusting. I could never live with people constantly following me and stalking me and shoving cameras in my face. At the same time, I also find it hard to feel sorry for celebs who call the paps one day and then get mad at them for showing up the next. I would prefer to just not do business with them at all.
As to the back and forth attitude, I kind of get it. I don’t like my boss. Sometimes it’s easy to smile and nod. And sometimes I just snap. I till don’t like him, but sometimes it’s easier to maintain composure and positivity.
We don’t know what photographers are saying, we just see photos. Sometimes they are probably extra harsh, and that’s when they just can’t take it.
Good point, Wiffie
I think if you go to a bar, hoping to attract some attention, maybe to meet somebody with the hope of dating or maybe just a quick hook up. You make an effort with your appearance, you display your best assets, you put signals that you’re open to being approached by males (or females), you accept an offer of a drink, you flirt. You are still very much entitled to say No. Not tonight. Not you. You still have the right to be treated with respect. If a guy crosses the line and begins insulting you, groping you or harassing you in anyway, you are entitled to do whatever you can to get him to back off.
The same for a celebrity. Yes, you may have a mutually beneficial relationship with the paparazzi. You can arrange times for ‘candid’ pictures and deliberately visit locations where you’ll be spotted. But you are still entitled to be treated with respect, and not to be insulted, harassed or physically assaulted.
Ok, but she’s only worked a handful of shows this entire fashion season, compared to other major models. She does the bare minimum. And you know her and her family called the paps.
Their job is getting their picture taken. That doesn’t mean they deserve to be manhandled.
All I took away from this is that I really want to try the dark /black lipstick look but am scared sh*tless.
Ha ha ha! All I took away from this is I can’t believe dark brown lipstick is making a comeback. Don’t do it! I tried it in the early 90s and it was a horrid look!!!! Walk away!
Try it !
When you deal with the devil, you can´t control the outcome.
Well I guess that applies to almost every celebrity since they chose to be in the industry.
But it’s not as if they have much choice if they want to be successful. Publicity is part of their job.
*rollseyes*
All I want to know is the ID on the lipstick? Anyone know?
She had a bodyguard with her. It’s HIS job to handle that sort of stuff isn’t it? Why did she get involved? This family is ridiculous. They are the ones who call the paps. They would die if the paps didn’t show up.
Good for her if she did.
Does this one have a soul/personality? Is that too much to hope for?
Huh. This is the most interesting she has ever been.
