In a surprising turn of events, Italian model Eugenio Casnighi, 26, has claimed that he was allegedly fired from his prestigious greeter position at the 2023 Met Gala. The reason? His astonishing good looks supposedly overshadowed stars like Kylie Jenner, leading to viral footage and discussions about his appearance.
Taking to TikTok to share the news, Casnighi expressed his shock, saying, "I just got fired from the Met Gala." According to the model, his dismissal was a result of going viral last year. It appears that his rugged good looks garnered significant attention at the event, catching the eye of attendees and sparking conversations about his captivating appearance.
Despite being initially confirmed to attend this year's Met Gala, Casnighi claims that he received a disinvitation from the organizers. Allegedly, they accused him of attracting too much attention to himself, stating, "You made it about yourself, so we don't want to work with you anymore."
One of the videos that went viral on social media showed a person filming an interview with Emma Chamberlain and Jennie from Blackpink, but they seemingly couldn't resist turning the camera's focus towards Casnighi's face. The caption of the video read, "Trying to focus on Emma interviewing Jennie from Blackpink, but..."
Casnighi maintains that he has messages and emails that support his claims about his termination. To shed light on the behind-the-scenes atmosphere of the Met Gala, Casnighi spoke with DailyMail.com. He disclosed that at the last two Met Galas, an unidentified celebrity caused controversy by smoking in the tent before the stairs, despite it being against the rules. Casnighi refrained from naming the celebrity but mentioned their status, saying, "They are very famous, so they can do whatever they want."
Regarding his interaction with Kylie Jenner, Casnighi expressed disappointment over being removed from the event at short notice, especially considering he was instructed to work with Jenner. However, he acknowledged that he inadvertently ended up in pictures taken of the reality star, sharing his support for her appearance and stating, "I still think she's beautiful," even if it may not be entirely natural.
Now free from a non-disclosure agreement, Casnighi plans to reveal more details about his termination, potentially shedding light on the inner workings of one of the most sought-after events in the fashion world - the Met Gala.
