'We're not talking today?' Kim Kardashian slammed for snub of iconic reporter at Monaco Grand Prix 2026
Updated . First published at
All eyes have been on Kim Kardashian since she arrived alongside sister Khloé Kardashian at the Monaco Grand Prix for 2026, but one move has angered race fans.
On Sunday, iconic Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle – who is well known for his grid walk interviews – approached the Skims founder for an interview but was brutally snubbed.

Brundle made his way over to the sisters to get them for a quick interview before the race kicked off.
But as he asked Kim – who was there to support Lewis Hamilton who she was first linked romantically with in February – how she was doing, she just ignored him and looked away.
Moments from the live stream on the grid have swiftly gone viral, with many not impressed that the reality star turned businesswoman didn’t respond.
A man, who appears to be an F1 employee, whispered something to Kim.
“Normally, people will have a quick chat with us. Are you enjoying F1?” Brundle asked Kim, who simply waved and didn’t answer his questions.
Kim and Khloe then just walked away with the entourage they had surrounding them.
“So, we’re not talking today,” Brundle quipped to the cameras.
The snub from Kim has been slammed online, with many pointing out that being on the grid walk, there’s plenty of media around and it’s almost expected to engage.

“Some ‘celebrities’ need to get a grip when on the grid walk for the F1, they should be kicked off if they don’t want to chat. Kim Kardashian take note. Martin Brundle his funny self as usual lol,” replied one person.
Another pointed out that there are plenty of other big name stars who adore Brundle.
“Didn’t we just know Kim Kardashian would refuse to speak to Martin Brundle. Famous for absolutely nothing if any import, can’t carry an umbrella herself & she ignores Martin when talented sports persons & international actors embrace him. She has no place on our grid,” they wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
But others defended the Kardashian’s star, noting that there’s never been an expectation that the wives, girlfriends or partners of drivers will do media.
“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 the drivers loved ones onto camera. Lets keep it that way,” tweeted one supporter.
The moment has clearly left people divided.

Kim and Khloe arrived in Monaco on Friday by boat, there to support Hamilton for the race.
The support was there after the race, with Hamilton blowing a kiss to her from the podium, with Kim proudly watching on and taking snaps of the moment on her phone.
The mum-of-four and the F1 legend recently took things to a new level, going Instagram official.
For the first time she posted him on her main grid, sharing a video of them riding bikes together, which really solidified their relationship.
She simply captioned the post: “Lately”.
