An Italian model has gone viral after claiming he was fired from greeting at the Met Gala… for stealing Kylie Jenner’s spotlight!
You may remember Eugenio Casnighi from last year, but we hope you weren’t expecting to see him at THIS year’s Met, because he got canned! And he’s not holding back on why!
In a series of TikTok videos he began uploading on Friday, the 26-year-old claimed he got fired from fashion’s biggest night after accompanying Kylie on the red carpet last year. He showed a bunch of pics and clips, asking viewers if they “remember” him as he’d also greeted in 2022.

He went on to explain that he assisted Kylie the whole night, but after apparently drawing attention away from her by being in the background of her photos, they blamed him for “making it about [himself].” In his TikTok, you can see one fan zooming in on him in the background while Emma Chamberlain interviewed BlackPink‘s Jennie Kim.

In a subsequent video, Eugenio went on to share messages confirming he’d been scheduled to work this year’s Met again before his abrupt firing on Friday. He also added that the modeling agency that hired him kept changing NDAs to avoid similar incidents happening… Banning models from taking photos, filming, or even REPOSTING content from the night! Whether it feature them or not!
That’s WILD!
In the comments, TikTokers quickly came to his defense, sharing messages of support like:
