A man who vandalised six copies of Kim Kardashian’s book of selfies — titled Selfish — in October, has revealed that he only did so because he thought it was too accessible to children, and contained inappropriate material.

According the TMZ.com, Carl Puia had complained to an employee at the book shop Barnes & Noble in Connecticut, asking them to place the books away from the children’s section. But when he went back three days later, it was still in the same place, and he then proceeded to destroy the books with a red liquid.

Carl, 74, who was released on bail after he voluntarily surrendered to police, added that he wasn’t against Kim or any celebrity, but that he just thought kids shouldn’t be exposed to sexual content.
