Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld Brawls

Apparently models were in limited supply this season at New York Fashion Week as a fight broke out over a few of them this weekend involving Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld and his friends, Pierre Casiraghi (Prince of Monaco, son of Princess Caroline, grandson of Grace Kelly), Stavros Niarchos, and Diego Marroquin. The incident started at Double Seven, a nightclub in the Meatpacking District. Allegedly, the defendant in the case, Adam Hock, was seated with friends at the club including the owner, Jeffrey Jah and Joel Warren, as well as models Natasha Poly, Valentina Zalyaeva, and Anja Rubik when Vlad and his friends stopped by Hock's table, reportedly insulting the models and helping themselves to the bottle of expensive vodka on the table.

The statements from witnesses about the evening point to Hock as the sole culprit: “The prince walked up to the table, and Adam just slammed him for no reason... [Casiraghi] fell very badly. He flew across the room and landed on a table on the other side... The next thing I saw, all hell broke loose... Stavros jumped in to help Pierre, and then he got slammed in the face... Hock then allegedly punched out Niarchos, and quickly landed blows on downtown hipsters Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Diego Marroquin — as the flustered models frantically tried to break it up... Pierre’s face looked broken, with deep cuts and blood everywhere... He looked like he needed plastic surgery.”

Hock was charged with four counts of third-degree assault for the attacks and released on his own recognizance until his court date on 29 March. Casiraghi was treated for his injuries including a broken jaw at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and released.

It looks like Vlad and his crew picked the wrong table to act like tough guys.

[Mike]

Adam Hock is 47 years old and he manhandled these 4 younger men! It sounds like the prince got what he deserved.

[kellina]

Hmm, Michael, is there any chance you are projecting your residual feelings from Gossip Girl here?

[Mike]

I must be watching too much Downton Abbey! You know I identify with the servants more than the aristocracy.

[Lee]

I don't care who gets punched as long as they leave Vlad's face alone!

P.S. HUGE Downton Abbey fan! Hilarious article on it in NYT Mag this week by Carina Chocano!

Here are a couple of recent news articles with some more juicy details of the nightclub fracas.

So it appears Vladimir is part of the NY "Wack Pack" - LOL. I wonder who Vladimir fancies himself, Dino or Sammy Jr? Sinatra, more likely.

[bernie]

Thank god my social scene days is over lol

I love the part, where Jessica Hart is being referred to as a supermodel ( http://scallywagandvagabond.com/2012/02/adam-hock-the-prince-offended-the-honor-of-the-supermodels-sitting-at-our-table/ ). WAIT!!!!!! Supermodel Jessica Hart? Excuse me, Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik are supermodels, Jessica Hart is a wannabe, who sits on the side of third rate fashion shows instead of walking them. She is the only model whose career didn´t take off after a Guess campaign.
Besides, they got what they deserve. Maybe Vlad wouldn´t have started it... Diego Who?
Stavros will be for ever "Baby-I-am-f******-scaring-myself-Stavros-Niarchos".
Maybe they should hire a nanny next time, but I guess, there won´t be a next time so soon..Levi`s had a great slogan in the eighties.."Separate the boys from the men". So true.

[Francesca]

So... the difference between men and boys is that men give a punch to boys?!!!!!!

[kellina]

LOL, you tell 'em, Francy!

[Andy]

Before I get a bottle on my head? Sure.

[Francesca]

I don't like violence!
I believe that a real man don't give a punch to a boy also if he has been beaten first..
Otherwise he is on the same level of the boy!
This is my opinion!

[Mike]

Francesca, even you must admit that Pierre was looking for trouble and acting like a buffoon. His buddies should have pulled him away before things got out of hand. They were asking for trouble and got it.

[bernie]

I hate this socialites! Theyre jst wasting their time from doing nothing

[Francesca]

I don't believe that violence is the right answer.. In my opinion Hock should have call the security or police!!! This is a mature Man

I am not asking for trouble.... I don't want to receive virtual punches!! :) simply, we have different point of view! I respect your point of view and I can understand that sometimes is not simple to keep calm..

Things like so happen also in my little town, maybe the real problem is that Pierre Casiraghi is very cute, rich, etc.. Rich guys make the same things of other guys, but if they do something are judged worse and finished on the newspaper!

Anyway... I am here to improve my bad english and because I love Kellina and her site!!

[kellina]

Francy, boys will be boys! This is really their idea of flirting ;)

[mike]

Francesca, your English is quite good. As Kellina knows, my bark is a lot worse than my bite (i really don't have a bite ;). I think a pithy line (think Byron) always wins out over fisticuffs.

[Francesca]

Sorry, but I don't know Byron... who is?

[kellina]

Francy, I imagine Michael will chime in but wanted you to know Byron is a Romantic poet, emphasis on Romantic...

;-)

Looking forward to the pithy line he offers...

[Mike]

Here are a few choice quotes.

"I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned."

"Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure."

"I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all."

And here's one with a dig at fashion...

"A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress."

[Francesca]

Kellina, I am learning a lot of things in your site.. :)

Mike, thanks for your quotes.. kiss kiss :)

[kellina]

Bella Francesca, as long as it is learning about art and not violence, I am happy.

:-)

"Strazzullo charged that Roitfeld — whose mother, Carine, was editor of Paris Vogue — swung the 1.5-liter Grey Goose vodka bottle that struck Hock, leaving the painful bruise that makes it difficult for the pumped-up hunk to raise his left arm."
I guess nobody knew this dark side of sweet Vladimir....What a c***
to a) take a bottle, b) attack somebody when they have their back turned to you.

[Francesca]

I'm imagining Carine that spanks Vlad with a fetish shoe...

[kellina]

Francesca! I do not know how I missed your comment before but you are too funny! That will teach him!
