Kim Kardashian appeared to dismiss an interviewer during the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco on Sunday, June 7. The SKIMS founder, 45, was at the event with her sister Khloé Kardashian to support her new boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton.
In a tense moment, Kim ignored Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle as he attempted to engage her in conversation during the match. “How are you today?” the journalist asked the reality star as he tried to interview her for his famous “grid walk” chats. “Are you enjoying Formula 1?” Martin inquired again, but Kim continued to overlook him.
Fans were quick to criticize Kim Kardashian for what they saw as rude behavior. One person tweeted: “A reality TV chick who thinks she’s more relevant at an F1 race than Martin Brundle. Delusional.” Another user scoffed: “Get fed up of talentless muppets like her on the grid who flatly refuse to show any respect toward the sport. Famous for a p— video and thinks she’s better than everyone.”
“She was very rude not to even acknowledge him,” another fan commented on social media. “Such obnoxious behaviour. These celebs think they are medieval royalty and people shouldn’t even meet their eyes let alone have the gall to speak to them. Clowns,” someone else wrote.
During the daytime event, Kim was seen in large purple sunglasses and a tight ivory dress. She had her long dark hair pulled up in a chic bun, and her glossy pink lips were contoured with light brown liner. Khloé, 41, matched her older sister’s look with a shorter, sleeveless version of the same cream-colored dress.
On June 5, the two were spotted arriving in Monte Carlo by boat alongside pal Simon Huck.
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton were linked back in February. The pair were seen together in Paris, and rumors of their relationship began to circulate. Kim officially launched her romance on June 2 when she posted a selfie of the two riding bikes together in New York. They were also spotted on a beach date in April.
A source told People earlier this month that Kim is “very happy with where things are.” “She never wanted to rush anything,” the insider said, adding that Lewis “is a great guy.”
The trio attended the race to watch Lewis, 41, compete for Ferrari.
