Uma Thurman’s spokesperson has slammed Fiat heir Lapo Elkann for kissing the actress at amfAR Gala in France, calling his behaviour “opportunism at its worst”.

Elkann planted a kiss on Thurman’s lips when the actress congratulated him after he won a $196,000 (Dh719,000) bid for a Victoria’s Secret Show experience.

“It is opportunism at its worst. She wasn’t complicit in it,” Thurman’s rep said after the event, which is an annual extravaganza raising funds for Aids research, in Antibes, near the Cannes Film Festival.

“Somewhere in his head he must have thought it an appropriate way of behaving. It clearly wasn’t. She is very unhappy that this happened to her and feels violated.”
