The man who made Kim Kardashian flee the Vienna Ball on Thursday night by wearing a 'blackface' has been revealed as stand-up comedian Chris Stephan.
TMZ have reported that Stephan - who describes himself as a stand-up comedian on his official Twitter account - has already issued an apology on his Facebook page, claiming he is not racist.
Reports emerged last night that Kim was upset after Stephan approached her and began to mimic her fiance Kanye West.

He is also reported to have said that he is of 'Arab descent himself' and 'never intended to be racist' according to TMZ.

The site claimed that Kim - who stayed for around an hour and a half after the incident before leaving - finally made her exit when another man made a racial remark.

Meanwhile, according to RadarOnline, the 81-year-old billionaire host Richard Luger - who had invited Kim as his date - told reporters during a photo call at his Lugner City mall that the reality star was not doing what he wanted.
'Kim is annoying me because she's not sticking to the program,' he said. The 33-year-old was reportedly paid $500,000 for her services.
