Last week, Italian model Eugenio Casnighi posted a series of TikTok videos in which he said he was “fired” from the 2024 Met Gala after capturing too much attention last year.“I’ve been working for the Met Gala as a model and greeter 2022 and 2023, and I was supposed to do it this year,” he. “Today’s Friday and the Met Gala is on Monday, and they let me know today that they cut me off, they fired me, because I went viral last year.”Casnighi didn’t identify any of his former superiors by name.
