Kim Kardashian Seemingly Ignores Sky Sports Reporter At Monaco Grand Prix
The mom-of-four was in Monaco with younger sister Khloé Kardashian to watch her new boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton, drive. She was dressed in a figure-hugging cream asymmetric dress with black pointed-toe heels, while her hair was styled in a chic updo. She accessorized with oversized diva-esque sunglasses; and according to many social media users, her behavior came across as equally diva-esque…
When Sky Sports reporter and former Formula 1 driver Brundle asked the Kardashians star how she was doing in the now-viral video, she appeared to ignore him, and looked away without answering. At F1 events, celebrities are often approached by Brundle and other reporters for brief interviews on the grid before a race. They are under no obligation to participate, of course, but it is expected.
"Kim, Martin Brundle from Sky F1, how are you today?" he asked politely while extending his microphone, but he did not receive a response or any acknowledgement. Brundle continued trying to speak with her and asked whether she was enjoying the race weekend. However, Kim once again appeared not to respond, instead speaking to a bodyguard or member of her team and giving a brief wave before continuing on with Khloé and the rest of her group.
The longtime broadcaster told viewers that it looked like they would not be speaking to the reality TV star this time around, sounding disappointed. He made one final attempt to get the sisters talking, but was again unsuccessful. And it should come as no surprise to learn that the interaction, or lack thereof, did not go down well on social media…
Social Media Reactions To Kim Kardashian's 'Rude' Behavior
"She was very rude not to even acknowledge him," wrote one X user. "A reality TV chick who thinks she's more relevant at an F1 race than Martin Brundle. Delusional," slammed a second, while a third concurred: "Such obnoxious behavior."
"Confirms what I already thought about her. Arrogant, smug, and full of herself," criticized a fourth, while a fifth echoed: "So arrogant. How hard is it to say hello?" "What a bunch of entitled melts," commented a sixth.
"Get fed up of talentless muppets like her on the grid who flatly refuse to show any respect toward the sport. Thinks she's better than everyone," wrote a seventh unimpressed user, while an eighth asked: "Why do they continue trying to talk to these brain-dead celebs? No one wants to hear what she has to say anyway."
"You can't buy class or good manners," noted a ninth. "Nobody has to stop for an interview. But there's a big difference between saying 'Sorry, not today' and acting like the person talking to you doesn't exist," observed a tenth. "One does not simply ignore the Brundle," wrote an eleventh, while a twelfth added: "@LewisHamilton should really educate her if she is going to stick around."
