Do you remember Kim Kardashian’s blackface prankster at the Vienna Ball? Well after the news about the reality TV star’s weird night in Austria, comedian Chris Stephan finally made his presence felt through social media. He posted on his Facebook page, "I am very sorry that this whole situation went badly and was completely misunderstood. I am myself an Arab, born in Austria! Under no circumstance did I want to come across as racist with this action and again apologize to everyone who felt offended."

For those who didn’t know what Kim Kardashian’s blackface prankster did to the 33-year old television personality, let me sum up the incident. The “Keeping Up with The Kardashians” star was greeted at the Vienna Ball by a guy in a suite and a blackface. He started to mimic her fiancé Kanye West, which made her feel uncomfortable. To make things worse, Stephan even posted photos of himself during the Vienna Ball including the one wherein he was holding a photo of the reality TV star and posing like the famous rapper. The comedian wrote under the photo, "Off we go to the Opernball, Kanye is looking for his girl or politician Stefan Petzner.”

For Kim Kardashian’s blackface prankster to apologize, then his intention may not be to really insult her. According to Celeb Buzz, Stephan is labeled as one of the naughtiest society reporters in Austria. Every year, he wears different costumes to the Vienna Ball. To get the socialite’s attention, he decided to put on a blackface and act like Kanye West so he can interview Kim. His TV employer said that he never intended to do any acts of racism since he himself is not a natural born Austrian.

I am sure Kanye West’s missus will be able to forgive the blackface dude because there’s a guy at the Vienna Ball who is worse than him and his name is Oliver Pocher. The comedian was interviewed alongside Kim and her mom Kris Jenner and said, "Yes, we’re going to dance. We’re going to wait for “Ni**as In Vienna.” The actress clearly did not find that funny and you can see the video here:
