Bloch’s Bad Night

Phillip Bloch did not have a gay old time at Kanye West’s concert this week.

On the contrary – the celebrity stylist found himself yanked out after security guards “mistakenly” thought he had been puffing the pot.

Bloch, who had earlier lit a cigarette but quickly stubbed it out unnoticed, had been talking to a group of pot-smoking teenagers in the row behind him who were passing a pipe among themselves.

“The whole stadium smelled like pot, and the kids behind us were smoking. I’m sitting there having fun, laughing,” said Bloch. “Then I get an order to go with this man.

“They say, ‘You’re leaving, give us your ticket.’ I held it up, they took it. At that point they grabbed me by my arms to take me out, so I threw my hands up and said, ‘You’ve got to keep off me. I’m no threat.’ ”

Page Six witnessed three security guards then spin Bloch around and pin him against the corridor wall. One, who refused to give us his name and flipped his identity pass around so we couldn’t see it, gave Bloch a sharp jab in the left rib.

Bloch described his treatment as “complete brutality” and lamented, “I still can’t wrap my head around this.” Well, we think it’s pretty straight forward – except for the “brutality.” That’s just tacky.
