Kim Kardashian has been criticized as “rude” after allegedly ignoring an iconic reporter during the Monaco Grand Prix 2026.
On Sunday, Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle, well known for his popular grid walk interviews, approached Skims co-founder Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé Kardashian in an attempt to secure a quick pre-race interview.
In footage shared online, Brundle is seen asking Kim, 45, how she is doing, but she appears to ignore him and looks away without responding.
A man believed to be an F1 staff member then leans in to whisper something to Kardashian, while Brundle can be heard telling someone not to “push” him amid the busy grid walk setting.
Kim Kardashian has been slammed as “rude” after reportedly ignoring Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle (pictured above with the reality star) during the Monaco Grand Prix 2026.
The Skims co-founder (seen above with sister Khloé Kardashian) appeared to ignore Brundle and looked away when he asked how she was doing.
“Normally, people will have a quick chat with us. Are you enjoying F1?” Brundle asked Kim, who reportedly waved and did not respond to his questions.
The All’s Fair actress and Khloé, 41, then walked away with their entourage.
“So, we’re not talking today,” a disappointed Brundle told viewers during his broadcast.
Fans later criticized Kim on social media for the awkward exchange.
“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. #F1 #Monaco,” one user wrote.
Brundle (seen above with Simon Lazenby) could be heard telling someone not to “push” him amid the busy grid walk, as he continued his coverage of the Monaco Grand Prix.
One fan claimed Kim (seen above at the Monaco Grand Prix) displayed a “complete lack of class.
“There’s never been an expectation WAGs will take interviews, no matter how audacious Brundle is or how famous Kim is. Nobody is entitled to force drivers’ loved ones onto camera. Let’s keep it that way,” one supporter tweeted.
“Brundle and his Lewis [Hamilton] hate agenda did this on purpose btw. He knew Kim didn’t want to speak. Security was there blocking. He honors it with everyone else, but with her he went out of his way to create a drama? Nasty, nasty man,” another user wrote.
“People always find something on people they want to criticize. Was she even aware of it? It literally looks like she was not,” a third user said.
Kim and Khloé arrived by boat in Monaco on Friday (as seen above).
Kim has reportedly been dating Lewis Hamilton (seen above) since early 202
