Influencer Suzan Mutesi has defended herself after she caused a stir at the Logie Awards in Sydney on Sunday.
Speaking on KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O show on Wednesday, Suzan defended her antics, saying she has “fits” for the event.
After the chat, shock jock Kyle, 52, said he wanted to help improve her profile after she was accused of being a “tease” on the Logies red carpet.
Suzan, 37, left onlookers baffled on Sunday evening after she ‘walked the wrong way across the carpet’, ostensibly to attract the attention of photographers.
“She had no interest in interviews, she just wanted her picture taken,” a source told the Daily Mail Australia.

It has been widely reported that Suzan was not actually invited to the event despite appearing on the red carpet.
However, she told Kyle and Jackie O that she had “fits” and was “friends” with some of the stars at the event.
“I didn’t cheat, they gave us passes to go to the Logies,” Suzan told the radio hosts.
“I know a few actors who were there and wanted to support my friends… people are blowing it out of proportion.”
On his KIIS FM radio show on Wednesday, Kyle, 52, said he wanted to help boost her profile after she was accused of being a “tease” on the Logies red carpet.
“How do you sneak onto the red carpet, it has to be a safe event?” said Kyle in bewilderment.
After the pair spoke to Nasser Sultan and Jessica Rowe on-air, while Jess posed with Suzan on the Logies red carpet, Kyle vowed to help her become famous.
“I’m going to make that black girl famous. I’m going to bring her into the herd,’ Kyle insisted.
Jess called her a “sweetheart” and said Suzan was “gorgeous,” while Nasser dismissed her as a “nobody” and a “disgrace.”
“You’re a disgrace, a nobody and she shouldn’t be attending any events or PR,” Nasser said.
“I’m a black girl given a shot — it’s not a race card, but who else are they bullying, let’s face it,” Suzan replied.

Trainee Pete then told listeners that he had confirmation from event organizers that Suzan was not invited to the event, but bought tickets for the general public and snuck onto the red carpet.
Susan also told Hughesy, Ed and Erin that she had tickets to the event and is not ‘shamed’ about it.
She said a security guard didn’t ask her for a pass to get on the red carpet, but denied being a “gate crasher.”
According to The Daily TelegraphSusan was ‘gifted’ tickets to the star-studded event.
“A media friend bought my general admission tickets, but I was invited to go on the red carpet.”
A source told Daily Mail Australia about her appearance at the Logies: ‘After posing for all the photographers, she went back to the beginning to take more pictures with other celebrities.
“She continued this trend all night, getting snaps with people she barely knew,” they continued.
Amazed attendees began to question her presence at the prestigious event.
“People were asking why she was there in the first place,” said one onlooker.

In response to the allegations, Mutesi strongly denied that he was a nuisance on the red carpet.
She justified her lack of interviews with journalists on the grounds of ill health.
‘I did not feel well. I left the ceremony early,” she told Daily Mail Australia on Monday.
“Even now, my stomach still hurts. I think I caught a bug or something.’
“I only took pictures with Jessica Rowe, because we’re friends,” she continued.
Earlier this month, Mutesi made headlines after having an intimate conversation with Tom Cruise at the Sydney premiere of Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, saying the A-list actor kissed her on the hand and called her “beautiful.”
