Kylie Jenner's Met Gala assistant fired for THIS bizarre reason

Italian model Eugenio Casnighi won’t be assisting any models in this year’s Met Gala.

The model, who assisted Kylie Jenner during last year’s festival, took to his TikTok account and shared the ordeal he went through after he appeared in the background of the Vogue livestream while BLACKPINK‘s Jennie was getting interviewed.

“So I’ve never talked about this because I was under NDA. It’s funny enough, they fired me so I can say whatever I want now. They fired me because I went viral last year. So basically they said, ‘You made it about yourself, so we can’t have you work there anymore. I’m sorry,’” Eugenio shared, adding that he was told to help Kylie with whatever she needed.

“It’s funny because the Met Gala and the company that I’m not gonna mention, they fired me. They want models to work on the red carpet, they want people to get noticed. Like they literally told me, ‘We picked you because we like you more than other people to be with this celebrity,’” he recalled.

Eugenio then said, “But when people took pictures of the actual celebrity, not me, of the actual celebrity like Kylie Jenner, and I was next to her, of course I ended up in the picture, and they blamed me. They said, ‘You made it about yourself, so we don’t want to work with you anymore.’”
