Did Kendall Really Punch A Photographer?

Kendall Jenner has been accused of punching a paparazzi photographer in Paris, reportedly coming to the defence of her model best friend, Gigi Hadid. The duo - who were pictured leaving Parisian nightclub L'Arc on Thursday night wearingfresh-from-the-catwalk Balmain looks - were surrounded by photographers before an altercation apparently broke out.

Pictures show the two models pointing their fingers as they apparently argue with the paparazzi, who eyewitnesses suggest had gotten too close to the two 20-year-olds, although no physical altercation has been confirmed by photographs taken at the time. Jenner's manager and bodyguard is said to have stepped in to stop the fight from escalating, US Weekly reports, encouraging the girls to walk to their car and scolding the paparazzi for invading their space.

Jenner later posted a picture of her own face, seemingly showing displeasure at the situation, with the caption "mood", while Hadid made light of the drama, sharing a picture of the twosome exiting the club just before the incident accompanied by the words: "Playin Barbie with @balmain. #Kengi."


It's by no means the first Fashion Week fight to grab headlines in Paris. Last summer, designer Rick Owens admitted punching a male model who took to his catwalk carrying a placard bearing the words "Please kill Angela Merkel - Not"; while last March rumours emerged that models Naomi Campbell and Cara Delevingne had come to blows in Paris - a story that both denied.

Jenner has spoken previously about paparazzi intrusion, admitting: "There are definitely moments when the paparazzi scare me," Jenner wrote on her app. "But I'm always more concerned about other people's safety." Hadid too, has confessed a desire to protect those closest to her from the scrutiny that accompanies her fame, telling Vogue Video about an incident in which she threatened a photographer who was taking pictures of her sister, Bella, while she changed backstage.
