Kim Kardashian Criticized Following Awkward Interaction with Television Reporter

Kim Kardashian recently faced criticism from Formula 1 enthusiasts on social media following an awkward moment with a TV presenter at the Monaco Grand Prix.

The reality television icon turned heads on the racetrack Sunday as she showed her support for her new beau, Lewis Hamilton, at the prestigious event.

Accompanied once more by her sister Khloe, Kim was present in Monaco, observing the pre-race festivities alongside her entourage in the renowned French locale.

During this time, Martin Brundle, a renowned presenter from Sky Sports, known for his traditional grid walk at each Formula 1 race, approached her.

Brundle, who is famous for his pre-race stroll along the grid seeking interviews with celebrities and drivers, spotted Kim and Khloe near the track and attempted to engage them in conversation on live television.

But both Kardashian sisters chose to rudely ignore Brundle, refusing to say a single word to him before they turned to their entourage in a bid to seemingly get him moved away.

The embarrassing moment sparked fury among the fans watching on at home.

One commented: ‘Kim Kardashian is not too good to talk to Martin Brundle. What a complete lack of class.’

Another added: ‘Didn’t we just know Kim Kardashian would refuse to speak to Martin Brundle. 

‘Famous for absolutely nothing, can’t carry an umbrella herself and she ignores Martin when talented sports persons and international actors embrace him. She has no place on our grid.’

A third replied: ‘Can we please ban these disrespectful ingrates like Kim Kardashian and Cara Delevigne from F1? If you won’t show the respect the people who make the sport what it is deserve, you have no place in our world’.

‘Kim Kardashian couldn’t give up 20 seconds of her precious time to have a chat with Martin Brundle, terrible viewing. It’s just pure arrogance. He doesn’t ask for much does he? Just a few words about their experience,’ another unhappy viewer commented.

Another posted: ‘How rude was Kim Kardashian? Brundle there to ask questions and she looks at some dude to see if Brundle was worth talking to. Poor.’

‘Can’t believe Lewis didn’t give Kim Kardashian the talk about Martin Brundle royalty,’ another quipped. 

One fan replied: ‘Kim Kardashian just staring at Martin Brundle and ignoring him on the grid walk. She knows it’s okay to use words, right?’ 

She was joined once again by her sister Khloe, 41, with the two matching in their neutral looks

It is Kardashian’s first race since going public with Lewis Hamilton at February’s Super Bowl

Kardashian wowed in a chic cream dress and sky high heels to cheer on Hamilton on Sunday.

The 45-year-old made her first appearance at a race since going public with the Ferrari driver during qualifying on Saturday.

She was joined once again by her sister Khloe, 41, with the two matching in their neutral looks.

The sisters were transported to the circuit’s VIP entrance on a boat, making a dramatic entrance that was fitting for the glamorous circuit.

Khloe meanwhile dressed for the scorching temperatures in a lace-trimmed slip dress and a white waistcoat. 

Kardashian and Hamilton, who have been friends for over a decade, have been going strong for nearly six months after they were first spotted getting cozy on New Year’s Eve in Aspen. 

They went public with their romance at the Super Bowl in February then subsequently went Instagram official.

Just last week, Kardashian and Hamilton took a huge step in their relationship as he was seen with her four children, who she shares with ex Kanye West, for the first time. 

A source previously said that the couple have an ‘intense’ relationship and added that Kardashian’s family absolutely ‘adores’ him.
