Kanye West impersonator who harassed Kim Kardashian revealed as comedian Chris Stephan, posts apology
Comedian Chris Stephan appeared at the Vienna Ball in blackface as a Kanye West impersonator, much to the annoyance of West's fiancée Kim Kardashian.
The man who ruined Kim Kardashian's Thursday night has come out from behind his blackface.
The 33-year-old reality star bowed out of an interview at the Vienna Opera after a mysterious Kanye West impersonator made rude overtures to her. Another man approached Kardashian later and asked if she wanted to dance to "N----rs in Vienna," a play on Kardashian's fiancé Kanye West's song "N---as in Paris." TMZ caught the moment on camera, and though Kardashian remains composed, her irritation is evident.

Kim Kardashian's night at the Vienna Ball was tainted by a comedian in blackface pretending to be her fiancée.
Kardashian had accepted a $500,000 paycheck to attend the fancy ball with 81-year-old Austrian businessman Richard Lugner, and, a source confirmed to the Daily News, suspected that the blackface impersonator had bothered her at Lugner's request, as a prank.
"It was a guy hired by the creepy old man," the source told the Daily News. "(He) was also trying to get her alone and making crude comments."

You can't have it both ways, if you don't want people to talk then don't send your wife out to be an Escort, you if don't like people sayin' N**gas then don't say N**gas yourself, that is what you call a hypocrite. Like the old saying goes, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander", "You made your bed, now sleep in it."

Really! While we shouldn't condone this idiot "comedian" or the screwball businessman who hired the hype-mongering brat, a serious question: someone offers you $500,000 (plus expenses, I would imagine) to show up for a few hours at a ball, wouldn't you want to know something about the person hiring you? Or, are you so blinded by the huge payday that you just dive in?
This is how idiots like Hillary Swank, Jennifer Lopez, Kanye West (hmmm), Usher, et. al. end up performing for horrible dictators!
I get we're all prostitutes, in a sense, and we all have our price, but a little critical thinking and common sense can go a long way.
This one is on Kardashian and her unbridled greed.

Thanks so much for this common sense tip! So many people will do any thing for money. How could she even sleep NOW after her child's father and future husband was played like that? Now it might be just another issue they will have to deal with in the relationship. Sure, we all know Kanye can be a hot mess with his mouth but under no circumstances should be sell ourselves for ANY dollar without knowing where the dollar is coming from.

Why is it that White people are the only people who don Blackface and impersonate other minorities, no group does that to them. Do they hate themselves that much or are they universally racist folks. I feel sorry for you people.

Tell me what non White ethnic group puts on White face and pretend to be White. Asians don't Mexicans don't, Indians don't and Black people don't . Yet White people have dressed up and pretended to be members of the mentioned groups in the most derogatory,demeaning* ways.Then people like you get make excuses, get angry and of course name call The truth often hurt and a segment of Americans cannot handle that.

The Wayans brothers and Eddie Murphy
have done white face among others.
The very thing you claim you despise, is the very thing you are.
Your racist remarks breed racist responds.
You are pouring your own fuel to the fire you claim you want extinguished.
It will never stop with people like you.
All you do is harp on your hatred for whites.
Whites only. That is racist.
Sometimes fighting fire with fire is not the right way.
Darkness against darkness is useless.
Only light can overcome darkness.
Don't take past wrongs done to you and let them poison you to become the very thing that wronged you.
Be better than them.

Douglas Turner Ward in stage play Day of Absence
People laugh and except it.
You are wrong
*Mexico does plenty of blackface, look it up.
*So does most of South America
*Japan does major blackface by its youth.
*Yamanba and Manba and Ganguro, which means blackface.
Thailand does blackface. Major blackface customs in India.
I suppose you meant native Americans instead of Indians.
Native Americans were documented with blackface, for rituals and during war times.
*I know you are the hypocritical kind who can say certain "forbidden " words that others can't. Like Kayne West .It is okay for him to have a song name but bad when this attention seeking clown says the song name to Kim .
*What about Spike Lee's film Bamboozled ?
Everything is okay for your kind.
If done in a non-degrading fashion it is universally excepted all over the world except for the US because of our hoyty-toyty, victimized ,bad attitude over sensitive ,self* entitled divas Mr. kayne west
Get over yourself.

This message was supposed to go here but I accidentally put it on another thread!
I was doing my own little investigation of why this type of stuff occurs only with that specific race. I was concerned because a co worker told me her husband threw away his daughter's black history month school assignment because Dr. Martin Luther King was on the cover of the paper! He let his seven year old daughter get a darn 0 on a project because his hate for black people. I'm sorry but if this someone's color is THAT IMPORTANT to you that your kid loses then I'm convinced something is seriously wrong with this group that concern themselves with race! I have to admit there are alot of nice people from the culture but most of them have some issues when it comes to other races! Like people can't help the color of nationality they were born and it is time for them to understand that! Get a hobby or something but all that hate is clearly a message they hate their own heritage!

What a surreal experience this must have been to anyone normal attending this fete. People paid $350 per ticket on the low end, dressed in their finery and were surrounded by cameras for the Kartrashian show as well as this weird dude running around in blackface mimicking Kanye. Sounds like the tea party from Tom Petty's video.
