14 DAY TRIAL // Kylie Jenner’s bodyguards really did manhandle actress Jessica Alba at the end of a show at the New York Fashion Week 2015, as reported in the press a couple of days ago. The incident was “really shocking,” Alba tells Andy Cohen on his Bravo show Watch What Happens Live.
Video of the exchange is available below, but please note that it’s restricted to certain territories. Alba tried to play it cool and laugh off the whole thing, but she admitted that she was in no laughing mood when it happened.
Kylie Jenner’s bodyguards aren’t very graceful
The initial report claimed that Kylie attended the Opening Show at NYFW 2015 with boyfriend Tyga and several bodyguards in tow. She probably imagined she would get mobbed on her way in and out of the venue, which is actually a situation she deals with on a daily basis, now that she’s slowly becoming the most popular of the Kardashian - Jenner women.
This was exactly what happened, as paparazzi photos available online show. However, the real chaos broke when the show ended and Kylie wanted to leave, because every other celebrity and fashionista in attendance was trying to do the same.
In the ruckus, her bodyguards had their hands full - literally so, Jessica Alba says. She was very ungracefully shoved out of the way.
“I was just really shocked. I got like body checked,” she says. “It was by two of them. I was like, ‘Whoa whoa, what’s happening?’ I thought there was a fire. I was like ‘What’s going on?’ I guess someone was just leaving the building. I don’t know, it was really shocking.”
Not blaming Kylie
She doesn’t blame Kylie for what happened, saying that she probably has no idea of what went down. How could she, when she was probably focusing solely on getting out, not paying attention to what her bodyguards were doing to “secure” her way?
However, Jessica hints, all this aggression was unnecessary: even given the commotion at the exit, it’s not like she really posed any threat to the reality star. A face like hers must really look threatening to a pair of experienced bodyguards, she jokes.
Word on Twitter has it that Alba wasn’t the only one to get manhandled by Jenner’s bodyguards at the event.
Nothing like the light touch of Kylie Jenner's bodyguard on your larynx to make you recognize your place in the ecosystem. #NYFW
