Grammys Crasher Vitalii Sediuk Charged, Facing Six-Month Jail Sentence
Sediuk made international headlines after The Hollywood Reporter broke the storythat he was the man behind the stunt, which saw him take the stage alongside Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull as they presented Adele with the award for best pop solo performance.
"It's such an honor to receive this award," Sediuk said, adding, "I love you, Adele," before Lopez guided him offstage. The moment was televised around the world to an audience of 28 million.
Sediuk had another brush with the law during the Academy Awards, when he showed up to the Dolby Theatre wearing a replica of Bjork's swan dress and carrying a basket filled with souvenir Oscars.
Police on the scene had been provided by the Academy with a printout of the TV presenter's face and a description of his Grammy exploits. The Academy had also sent Sediuk a threatening legal letter telling him that he would be arrested if he attempted to gain entrance to the movie awards ceremony.
Officers on the scene let him go with a warning.
Sediuk was not immediately available for comment.
