Eugenio Casnighi, 26, who worked as a greeter for the museum’s previous two events, indicated in a new TikTok video that he has been disinvited from Monday;’s bash by the organizers after his beauty was the talk of the 2023 gala.
‘I just got fired from the Met Gala,’ Casnighi’s video begins, before showing a picture of him standing next to Kylie Jenner, Blackpink Jennie at the 2023 gala.
Eugenio Casnighi was disinvited from the Met Gala after his stunning looks overshadowed Kylie Jenner, Jennie during last year’s event
The clip then shows a flashback to last year’s event, organized by Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour, where Emma Chamberlain is interviewing Blackpink’s Jennie Kim.
Casnighi is standing in the background doing his job, but the person recording the interview was apparently blindsided by his good looks.
The camera drifts away from Chamberlain and Kim and focuses on Casnighi’s face.
It was footage that went viral with text appearing on the screen that said: ‘Trying to focus on Emma interviewing Jennie but…’
‘It’s funny enough,’ the model said, ‘they fired me so I can say whatever I want now.’
Casnighi divulged he was supposed to do be back again this year – but was shocked to find out earlier that he isn’t welcome, despite being confirmed to attend a month ago.
The event’s organizers said that Casnighi was at fault for all of the attention.
‘They blamed me,’ the model said. ‘They said “you made it about yourself, so we don’t want to work with you anymore”.
‘They let me know today that they cut me off,’ he said. ‘They fired me because I went viral last year.’
Casnighi said that he has emails and messages that corroborate his claims.
Speaking to DailyMail.com on Saturday after posting the video, Casnighi lifted the lid on what it was like to be a part of the coveted event.
He revealed that at the past two Met Galas, one mysterious celeb ‘got in trouble because they started smoking in the tent before the stairs.’
‘That’s not allowed,’ Casnighi explained. ‘But this person did not care. They are very famous, so they can do whatever they want,’ he added, declining to reveal who the celebrity was.
In his TikTok, the Italian model revealed that the Gala fired him from working this year’s event a mere three days before it’s scheduled to happen
While he wouldn’t say that any of the guests ‘have been rude to him,’ he revealed how when the celebrities first arrive, they aren’t sure who is working the event and who is attending it.
‘I’m not wearing a name tag, so at first they don’t know if I’m an employee. And when realize I’m working there…some people completely change,’ he said.
‘They kind of vanish. They stop talking to me and start talking to the actual guests.’
At last year’s gala, an interview between Emma Chamberlain and Jennie Kim quickly went viral after the cameraperson grew distracted by Casnighi’s drop-dead beauty.
