(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Italian model Eugenio Casnighi allegedly lost his greeter position at the Met Gala due to his striking appearance, which reportedly overshadowed celebrities like Kylie Jenner at the 2023 event. Casnighi, 26, disclosed his dismissal in a recent TikTok video, attributing it to his viral fame from the previous year's Gala. Despite being slated to attend the latest Gala, organizers rescinded his invitation, accusing him of diverting attention away from the event's stars.
Casnighi's rugged charm captured widespread attention at the 2023 Met Gala, leading to viral footage and discussions about his looks. In one viral video, an individual filming an interview with Emma Chamberlain and Jennie from Blackpink appeared captivated by Casnighi's presence, shifting the focus away from the celebrities.
According to Casnighi, he possesses messages and emails corroborating his claims about the circumstances leading to his dismissal. Speaking to DailyMail, he provided insights into the inner workings of the Met Gala, revealing that at past events, a certain unnamed celebrity flouted rules by smoking in the tent before the main stairs, despite it being prohibited. Casnighi declined to disclose the celebrity's identity but emphasized their fame as a factor in their behavior.
