Ciara ambushed by thong-clad Ukrainian prankster in Paris

Ciara is the latest victim of Ukrainian prankster Vitalii Sediuk, who gladly showcased his goodies while grabbing her Tuesday in Paris.

The singer, 28, was ambushed by Sediuk outside the Valentino presentation during Paris Fashion Week, according to pictures from the scene and footage obtained by TMZ.

The serial prankster, who counts Brad Pitt, Adele, Will Smith and Kim Kardashian among his high-profile victims and has been banned from most red carpets in the United States, accosted the R&B star while wearing a man-thong as she was being photographed.

He was reportedly standing outside the venue wearing a trench coat, then disrobed to reveal his black thong and gold sequin top. He proceeded to pose for snapshots with his arm around the singer and gave her a hug.

Security promptly removed the man and an observer asked him why he’d swarmed in. Sediuk replied by showing off white text emblazoned on the skin of his right thigh: “Ban in USA but I still rock Chanel,” perhaps referring to the fallout from his arrest after he accosted Pitt at the “Maleficent” premiere in L.A. in May.

The onetime Ukrainian TV reporter went after Kardashian twice during Paris Fashion Week this month -- nearly tackling her at the Balmain show, then getting rebuffed by her beefed-up security detail the following Thursday -- but Paris police did not take action, dismissing the altercations as unimportant, TMZ said.

In the footage, Sediuk says “Hi” to Ciara’s pal Kardashian and claims that the story about him stalking her was a lie.

The 25-year-old told the Associated Press that he had only been trying to hug the wife of rapper Kanye West the first time he jostled her.

“I didn’t mean any harm to Kim and went for a hug. Hope she is OK and Kimye won’t be mad at me,” he said in an email.

Ciara also attended the Lanvin and Givenchy shows while she was in the City of Light and met up with Kardashian for a few festivities.

Reps for the singer did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
