The 27-year-old later claimed he was fired for "upstaging" Kylie and going viral in the background of her glamorous snaps.
Speaking to Casino.org more recently, he revealed: 'Kylie gave me a tip before we went on the red carpet.
"She told me, 'Don't get too far from me, or it'll look weird, like you're chasing me. But don't stay too close, or it'll look like we're dating.'
"Looking back on it now, that was honestly so true.
"She wanted me to stay 5 steps away from her, so that's how we did it.'
He added: 'It was funny to me because a lot of people hated that I was next to her, like I was ruining her image.
"I wasn't pretending to be her date or anything, I was literally just there, holding her bag.
"That's what I was paid to do. I wasn't looking at the camera.'
Asked whether he'd heard from Kylie or her team since, Eugenio replied: "No, I never heard anything from Kylie's team because a.) it's not Kylie's responsibility or problem and b.) I don't even know if she remembers the whole story.
'I know last year [the 2024 Met Gala], she made sure to be by herself on the red carpet.
"She didn't want any help. I don't know if it's related to me or not.
'I saw her at an event at the Brooklyn Museum, but obviously there were many people around her.
"I would have loved to just go to her once and say, 'Hi, do you remember me? If anything [from that night] annoyed you, I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention', just to clear it up. But you know, I think she's just fine.'
Previously, Eugenio recounted the situation in a TikTok video posted last year.
More about Kylie's brand, Khy
On October 24, 2023, Kylie posted a photo on her Instagram wearing a black leather trench coat with the caption: "Meet khy."
Jens and Emma Grede, the same husband-and-wife duo behind Khloé Kardashian's Good American and Kim Kardashian's SKIMS, are said to be involved with the brand.
Kylie stated that the clothing line, a play on her nickname, will offer fashion-forward threads at a more accessible price point than typical designer brands.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Kylie said: "The whole line is really inspired by my personal wardrobe, and the different moods that I'm in...[the first drop] is very King Kylie–who I am at my core."
The venture is her newest, though not only foray into fashion.
She also collaborates with her sister Kendall Jenner on their clothing line Kendall + Kylie, sold at lifestyle retail brand PacSun.
Jenner previously launched Kylie Swim in September 2021 to lackluster reviews before filing new trademarks for the brand in November 2022.
Her first Khy collection was released on November 1, 2023.
So far, she has released four collections underneath her brand.
In the clip, Eugenio claimed he'd been let go just days before the 2024 Met Gala.
He continued: "They fired me because I went viral last year.
"So basically they said, you made it about yourself, so we can't have you work there anymore.
"I'm sorry, you got laid off, fired, whatever you wanna call it."

Meghan won't take orders from anyone – that's why her brand's in chaos & it's all her own fault, expert slams
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ROYAL experts have slammed Meghan Markle, claiming her inability to take orders is behind the chaos surrounding her brand. The Duchess of Sussex's brand, As ever, is taking a short break after selling out all its items in just 45 minutes, according to Meghan. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The Duchess of Sussex revealed on a podcast that her brand is taking a short break to restock Credit: Netflix However, experts claim the quick sellout highlights chaos behind the brand, suggesting there weren't enough products to meet demand. The Sun's former Royal Correspondent and author Charles Rae said: "I'm not a businessman, but I would have thought that if you were setting up a new company, you would have enough products on the shelves or whatever is kept to satisfy the demand." Shoppers snapped up £10 jam and £22 honey from Meghan's brand — though it's unclear how many sold before the products were declared out of stock. Royal experts believe that the lack of clarity from the brand stems from the Duchess "not wanting to take orders from anyone". "My view is that it is mainly, I would say, 90 per cent Megan who's running," said Charles. He added: "Who's running the show, because this is a woman who does not want to take orders from anybody." Royal Correspondent Sarah Hewson agreed and said: "She doesn't want to let go. "And I guess, you know, she is putting her name to it. But yes, it has been chaotic." The Duchess of Sussex has promised her As Ever goods will be back in stock this month - alongside "a few new things we can't wait to show you". The about-turn came hours after she was heard telling Beyonce's mother she had decided to "just pause" until completely ready. Meghan couldn't get Beyonce so settled for her mum… but even a global star couldn't save As Ever, expert slams Meghan appeared on her own podcast on Tuesday, recorded in May, telling Tina Knowles she feared annoying customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour. She said wanted to wait until it is "completely stable and we have everything we need". Meghan has since shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: "'June gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back." Her official AsEver account also posted: "To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you! "Your favorites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you. Coming this excited!" The Duchess's bonus Confessions Of A Female Founder episode with Knowles was recorded on May 5, the day before Prince Archie's sixth birthday. Meghan, who celebrated Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday on Wednesday by sharing previously unseen black and white family photographs of herself with her daughter, began selling her As Ever products in April. The range includes flower sprinkles, which she used liberally during her Netflix lifestyle show, and raspberry spread, a crepe mix, wildflower honey and an assortment of herbal teas. She renamed her brand from American Riviera Orchard after running into trademark issues. It comes after Meghan Markle shared heartwarming pictures of her daughter Lilibet to celebrate her fourth birthday. And Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have reportedly hired Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lawyer to help protect their reputations as their family feud escalates.

‘That's the saddest thing I've ever seen' people cry as bloke proudly shows off Britney tattoo with VERY awkward error
FUN-KNEE 'That's the saddest thing I've ever seen' people cry as bloke proudly shows off Britney tattoo with VERY awkward error A BLOKE has left people in stitches after proudly showing off his Britney Spears tattoo with a very awkward error. The legendary pop artist Britney Spears, 43, has gained worldwide fame thanks to dozens of hits, such as Toxic, Circus, Baby One More Time, as well as some of her iconic phrases. 3 The legendary popstar has certainly inspired one fan to go that extra mile to showcase his love Credit: AFP or licensors 3 But while he was all chuffed with the inking, eagle-eyed social media users spotted a very unfortunate error Credit: 3 Some pointed out that he got the tattoo above his knee - and thus, it didn't make any sense Credit: One such phrase that's become a favourite for millions of her fans is ''It's Britney, b**ch'', which kicks off her 2007 track, Gimme More. And it seems that one man, only known as TikToker @tytanofficial, was so inspired by the tune he decided to dedicate a special inking to the pop princess. However, the bloke went for a more creative approach - one that was recently shared on social media by fellow TikTok user @essexxink. Instead of having ''It's Britney, b***h''' tattooed on his leg, the ink lover took the opportunity and went for ''It's Brit(knee), b***c'' . The design starts at the top of his knee with ''It's Brit'', with the knee serving as ''ney'' part - while the rest of it is sitting under the kneecap. ''Look at his tattoo - It's Brit... b***h,'' the woman could be heard saying in the video. The ink lover then proceeded to explain the logic behind the work, as he was all chuffed with himself and gave the camera a cheeky smile. 'That's the saddest thing I've ever seen' But while the man was clearly happy with the tattoo, the clip soon went viral for all the wrong reasons. Eagle-eyed social media users soon spotted that something was slightly off with the black inking - as they thought he had tattooed it way above his knee. ''Who's gonna tell him where the knee lives?'' one person commented under the video which has racked up over 900k views in just one day. I got an elephant tattoo - but it looks like a penis ''but that can't be his knee it's too high up,'' another was left in hysterics. ''it's not even on his knee,'' someone else couldn't stop laughing. ''that's the saddest thing I've ever seen,'' wrote another viewer. Which tattoos hurt the most? Depending on what part of your body you choose to ink, tattoos can range significantly in terms of pain levels. Some of the most painful areas are those where the skin tends to be thinner or closer to the bone. Each area has specific factors which contribute to the level of pain. Ribcage: Thin skin, little muscle, and many nerve endings. Feet and ankles: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings close to the surface. Hands and fingers: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings, resulting in increased pain during tattooing. Knuckles can be especially painful. Spine: Proximity of the spinal cord and nerve endings makes it sensitive. Tattooing directly over the vertebrae can be especially painful. Knees and elbows: Thin skin and little padding between the skin and the underlying bones. Armpits and groin: High concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes. Neck and throat: Thin and sensitive skin, with many nerve endings and blood vessels close to the surface. Source: Tatt2Away But despite the huge amount of mean comments, there were also plenty of those who were fans of the inking - and some were even keen to get a similar design. ''OMG I AM JEALOUS WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT,'' wrote a social media user. ''You need Whit knee Houston on the other leg!'' someone else suggested. ''i need this,'' chimed in another.
