According to reports, an Austrian media personality is responsible for going at Kim K.

We reported earlier how Kim Kardashian stormed out of the Viennese State Opera House after a man in blackface pretending to be her fiancée Kanye West approached her. Now it comes out that it was Austrian news reporter Chris Stephan that ruined her evening with the insensitive gesture. Apparently Chris came to the ball with the express purpose of finding Kim, and even posted a selfie of himself with a picture of her with “My Woman” sprawled across it in German before heading to the Opera House. (Perez Hilton)

He has also issued an open apology to anyone offended by his stunt.

“I was nice and gentle! [Kim’s date] Richard Lugner called me and said ‘Kim wants to see her man, Chris do something.’ I even got dressed just for that and got into the Opera free because of it. Thanks Richie!…I’m really sorry that the story has gotten so messed up and misunderstood. I myself am Arab, born in Austria! I didn’t want this act to be in any way racist, and I’m sorry again for anyone who felt attacked!” (Perez Hilton)

Details of the messy situation started to scatter across the Internet Thursday (February 27).

Kim Kardashian stormed out of the hoity-toity Vienna Ball after some white dude working the event came up to her in black face, pretending to be Kanye West! Kim was paid $500K to be the “date” of Richard Lugner, an Austrian businessman who has a long history of paying starlets half-a-mil to be his arm candy at the Vienna Annual Opera Ball. Lugner just did an interview trashing Kim for not sticking to the program, saying, “Kim is annoying me.” But we’re told she was taking pics with Lugner when a guy who was working the ball came up to her … IN BLACK FACE acting like he was Kanye. She walked away from the guy, but had to stay another hour and a half. (TMZ)

To make matters worse, Kim K encountered even more heat from another heckler.

The final straw. A short time later a guy came up to Kim and asked her to dance. She said she wasn’t a good dancer, and then the guy responded, he would dance with her if the orchestra played “N****rs in Vienna.” Kim is saying there were other problems. She told her people Lugner was aggressive, at times grabbing her and imploring her to lose her security. She said Lugner was trying to be alone with her. And, we’re told a lot of this was caught on tape because Kim was shooting for her reality show. (TMZ)
