NYFW 2015: Jessica Alba recalls 'shocking' shove from Kylie Jenner's bodyguards
Jessica Alba recalls her encounter with Kylie Jenner’s bodyguards during an interview with Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live.” The actress said she was shocked after she was allegedly shoved to the side after attending the Opening Ceremony fashion show at the New York Fashion Week on Sunday.
In the video shared by Mirror UK, Andy asks Jessica if she was really pushed by Kylie’s bodyguards after the show. The actress replies that at that moment it was like she “got body checked.”
The “Sin City” star explains she “thought there was a fire” because of the commotion. The actress also confirms witnesses’ report that there were two bodyguards who allegedly shoved Jessica to the side.
“It was like by two of them. I was like ‘What’s going on?’ But I guess someone was just leaving the building. It was really shocking,” Jessica tells Cohen.
Witnesses told Page Six that Alba was pushed to the side after Kylie had trouble getting out of the packed venue. Although both were VIPs at the fashion event, the actress was not treated as such, as one eyewitness said Kylie’s bodyguards “just shoved Jessica out of the way.”
“After the show, trying to leave the venue, it was very crowded. Everyone was in the crush and Jessica had stopped briefly to say hi to someone when all of a sudden from behind came Jenner’s bodyguards,” the eyewitness said.
Despite the harsh treatment, the source said Jessica didn’t complain but “she just looked astonished!” Another eyewitness confirmed the actress “didn’t freak out” over the encounter.
Kylie and her rapper boyfriend Tyga reportedly also attracted a lot of attention during the Opening Ceremony fashion show when they sat at the front row. However, Kylie wasn’t just a spectator at the fashion event. She also walked the runway for Kanye West’s Yeezy collection for Adidas Originals on Wednesday.
A photo shared by Cosmopolitan shows the 18-year-old wearing a cap and oversized jacket over leggings and tank top, posing on the runway along with the other models. Meanwhile, her sister Kendall was spotted among the audience, sitting on the third row.
